Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

Got my Funimation exclusive version in today. It looks really nice in the included stand. Unfortunately the lower left corner has a 3/4 inch crush in it. It was sealed that way so it looks like it was not done in shipping as the box was perfectly fine. Guess I am screwed on that. :(

Be careful opening it up. One of my discs (luckily a DVD) hit the floor before I even open the gatefold so they are likely getting shifted around during shipping. The sleeve holders do not seem necessarily equal among tightness/size. Some can slide in further than wanted while others may sit out on the edge a little and need an extra push to get them in the right place.

I can't say the packaging is definitely worth the extra money but since I got mine for around $35 or so after selling my old dvd set, I am not complaining.

So what do you think? Should I complain?

It really irritates me the more I look at it. And I am not the OCD type.

Are there even any more copies left to exchange it with?

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

And now it's gone.

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

Don't know. I am going to email them to see what they say.

Dammit. :(

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

I think all of the limited editions are sold out, but maybe they can give you a partial refund or something.

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

If they're smart, they kept a few around for just such an occasion. Good luck.

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

My FUNimation Exclusive just came in the mail and it is flawless. Granted, it's still sealed but I don't think any of discs are loose. The shrink-wrap is tight.

:lol:


Sorry, didn't mean to rub it in.

Look at its flawlessness. LOOK AT IT!

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

The "ring wear" cracks me up, because they made it look like a worn LP jacket.

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

The disks have a vinyl texture to them as well.

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

I think all the versions do. The regular set I was sent to review also has the vinyl texture to the discs.

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

Yeah, I got the Amazon LE.

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

And of course Amazon shipped my LE in a bubble mailer so now all eight corners are horribly bent in. Sheesh.

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

It's weird how their shipping methods can vary so much. They sent mine in a box with enough bubble wrap to keep it snug and prevent it from bouncing around.

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

Yeah, I'm not sure what to do at this point. If I return the thing I don't think they have stock to replace it. Sigh. First world problems.

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

In the orders section there is a place to report damaged packaging, if they don't have more stock(they might) you could at least get a partial discount, or the complaint could cause them to package your stuff more carefully in the future.

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

Did they actually use bubble wrap or was it those air bubbles? I have never seen Amazon use bubble wrap in many years. I asked them to use bubble wrap for some books that kept arriving damaged, and they sent replacements in big boxes with no padding at all so the books just slid around and were even worse.

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

They have no extra stock and don't anticipate any more on the way. The last batch they put out for like 30 minutes was the reserve they had it seems. I talked to customer service yesterday.

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

I emailed Funimation on Monday about my damaged copy and have yet to get a response back.

Fuckers.

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

I figured as much. Thanks for the heads up. At least the discs are in good shape.

Re: Cowboy Bebop TV series on Blu-ray
 

No, it's not bubble wrap, but I don't know what the term for it is, I guess it was the air bubbles you're referring to. They seemed to do the trick as my LE arrived in perfect condition.
