a picture would be helpful. can it be the same box that was earlier released? a slightly different one like in the case of comic party?

If you're talking about genuine Japanese Import CDs, they are expensive ($30+). There are tons of bootlegs CDs out there and they are dirt cheap.

Re: Re: Anime Box Set Question
 

Could you provide the source of this announcement? I digged through a few prominent anime websites and couldn't find anything related to a WHR boxset. You didn't confuse yourself with Love Hina Perfect Collection, right? It's $149.99, to be released on 9/28/04.

Bandai has released a number of series in a "brick" - basically a multi-compartment keepcase. So, the WHR boxset could be a brick, or it could be a real boxset.

Hopefully its a brick set so that it'll be really cheap.

Bandai and "CHEAP" aren't often in the same sentence. Especially for popular titles like WHR

Re: Re: Re: Anime Box Set Question
 

Sorry, can't seem to find the link. I thought I saw it on animeondvd.com's news page. Maybe seeing the other collections announced made me wistful and was thinking that I saw WHR in the announcement as well.

Yeah, I was referring to an authentic import CD, just forgot my sarcastic smileys. People often forget to mention the CD when they talk about the box + extras and it makes it sound like you're not getting much for that extra $30.

WHR Vol. 1 LE includes a soundtrack CD, shot glass, T-shirt and artbox. That's why it's listed at a wooping $59.99. For the record, the soundtrack CD is not an import version. It's a licensed version made by Bandai locally, very much like the CDs in .hack//SIGN LE's and GitS:SAC.

IIRC though the WHR soundtrack is not available for sale other than in the vol 1 + box. .hack and GitS: SAC are both available domestically by themselves.

Correct. However, the .hack soundtracks were made available separately way after Bandai released them exclusively in the .hack LE version.

Witch Hunter Robin Box Set
Here is a link to info about this release.:)

But still no clue if it's in a box or if it's a brick.

Thanks for the info., I just checked that too. It'll probabaly be a box since its retailed at around $150.

Nevermind, the box set will be a brick from what I've read on animeondvd.com forum. However they'll be limited for the holiday season.

Limited because? just a simple number now a days.. sheesh. atleast cowboy bebop had a nice case that was numbered. if this is just a brick I would much rather stick with my box, shirt, shot glass and cels in each dvd.

Official Announcement from Bandai Ent:

http://bandai-ent.com/retailers/BEIW...er8-5-2004.pdf

The PDF has pic and specs of the WHR collection, along with other collections such as .hack//SIGN, Escaflowne TV + Movie, etc...

They are limited in the sense that retailers can't order any more after the cut-off date. Probably to cover themselves such that they don't have to keep on making excessive number of copies.

Based on the pic, WHR and .hack//SIGN look like a "brick". They both include an EXCLUSIVE COLLECTOR's PIN SET?! WTF!

ugh, yeah, it does look like a brick. Oh well. aside from the pin set, I'll have to pass on that. I have all but one disc to complete the box I have.

sucks about the pin. oh well.

It's been confirmed. They are "bricks".

I'm kinda pissed about the exclusive pin sets. That is kind of an F You to the early adopters. Granted I have shirts, a gruntie plushie, a shot glass, etc. (lets not forget the .hack box that just awkwardly sits on the dvd shelf ;) ), but...

I want a Robin pin set damnit :( :mad:

My feeling exactly!

I purposedly bought all the LE version of .hack and WHR thinking that I would have all the LE goodies. Now we get screwed by a potentially gorgeous pin set, unless we are silly enough to fork out another $$$ on what are essentially the same discs packaged in a freakin' brick.
