Funi should do what Viz does, on the Naruto website you can watch new episodes of Shippuuden subbed for free legally. Funi should do the same concept with One Piece. Also lowering the price of the DVD's a bit or adding more episodes would help. But getting it back on TV is top priority.

@xinyingho:

-several cards to be played with OP Beri Match, all from series 1 (there's 4 series out plus several special issues)

Oh man I have been dieing to go to Japan for years just don't have the cash. How much would you say your whole trip ran you, including like flight, living expenses, and stuff you bought?

Has anyone ever ordered off this site http://www.salesmanb2b.com/index.php/list/i/pagez/2/p/Anime-action-figures.html they have a few OP shirts and Hoodies. When I went to pay them with paypal, my paypal blocked my payment so now I'm not sure if they are just a fraud. Anyone ever order from them that can vouch.

Does anyone know of a good website that sells One Piece Hoodies, T-shirts, hats ect.. I've been looking but its hard to find.

@Mr.:

Hellz yah.
But seriously, OP will NOT die in the US. Any people who think no TV deal means the end of OP in America is wrong. We'll get eps here, and they'll probably be amazing.

Not to be a party pooper. But I don't think OP being shown online will do much for its Merchandise, like games and such. I know some people just want OP dubbed which is cool, I like the dubbed episodes. But everyone here I am sure has already seen all these episodes in the superior Japanese dub. My point is really, whats the point of having OP episodes in America if we get nothing else.

any word on how the OP Season Sets sold. Was it decent I hope.

Anyone know where to buy these? They must be like $100 I bet.

Not to sound really picky but does anyone know why Funi cut out the sound effects in the opening?

Who buys Anime at Wal-Mart anyways? I know there the biggest retailer in the world but theres just some products that its not going to make a difference if they sold them. From what I understand they don't or didn't sell any Eminem CD's and he did fine. ( I know OP and Eminem totally different but bare with me)
