No one is denying that this re-re-release is bad, nor that 'omg boxed sets' were even an issue. Everyone knows this. Everyone knows FUNimation's stance. It doesn't affect me, so I'm pretty happy.
The concern is that FUNimation is saying one thing (Singles are awesome! People who buy them are precious cherubs! Boxes not for another 2 years or some such!), and then doing another. I mean, it can be pretty much summed up to DBZ being handled in a slightly different manner to a lot of other Anime, which is why we don't get a lot of information from Lance in regards to this. People have gone and spent a lot of money (let's be realistic here, even at the cheapest, new price of $16 or what have you, eight DVDs is a lot of money that could be spent on something more worthwhile) on something that is like, a seventh of the cost, and contains twice as much.
I don't think it's a smart move to release stuff like this on three episodes a disc, nor is it to actually buy it. I mean, three episodes a disc for 67 episodes of a 291 episode series with inconsistient release, so I guess people weren't willing to pay for something that they either saw on TV in it's entirety first (for THAT price), downloaded from the Internet (in Japanese), bought Dragonbox/bootlegs/HK R3 releases, or what have you.
I think it's a legitimate complaint when you look at it like that.
