Enterprise wasn't listed in the movies section. You had to search the entire site. Unfortionately I didn't figure that out until after the price went up. Noone ever posted the link for it on here

I bet $$$ to donuts that it's the complete set. Volume 1 with the artbox(and bandana) has been OOP for some time now. Congrats to all that took the plunge-I missed out, but I already own the series.

Hey, few questions for those who know about this series.
The list price for this 7 volume boxset is $200. IMHO, the list price is exhorbitant for a cartoon with just a little over 600 minutes. However, apparently there is a 3 DVD version of this series out there selling for $25 to $30. This 3 DVD version is also sold at www.amazon.com and one of the reviewer who bought it say it is missing some episodes and that it is a bootleg version.
I am new to this anime thing. I saw one set advertised as having the complete 26 episodes, described as brand new and selling for $24.95 on half off ebay and the seller saying it is a thinpack but he doesn't say how many dvd is contained in the set( 3 or 7)
question is, are those sets out there that are thinpack or have only 3 DVD the bootleg version?

All together now, "If It Sounds Too Good To Be True, It Probably Is." The only official North American Samurai Champloo release is by Geneon, and is 7 discs.
At some point in the future, they will probably put out a slimpak version of the series, which will cost a bit less. But for now, they're simply selling the individual volumes together in a box.
