I have picked up the first 2 DVDs, which are definitely much cheaper than the Limited box set, but I do wish they had gone with a 4-volume set, instead of 5. I will probably complete the series anyway.

I really wish they would also release the uncut Japanese episodes of Mach Go Go Go, with subtitles, the way that 99% of anime has been released in the U.S. From what I understand, there wasn't a lot cut, but there were some minor things. Also, the Japanese masters would be 35 millimeter, instead of the 16 millimeter masters over here.

It's around 14 bucks from Deep Discount DVD. I'll be picking it up.

I'm NOT going to buy volume 4 or 5 at these prices. When volume 1 was released, TV boxsets were very expensive, so $11 for Volume 1 @ Costco was a good deal. But 8 episodes for (what will be) $14?! No sale.

I'm not "own3d" by any DVD producer. I'm not a slave to a "completist compulsion". I thought that volume 3 and it's hokey tin was a mistake but that they'd learn from it and release a quality volume 4. On the contrary, they took the sales of vol.3 and thought that PT Barnum was right, there IS a sucker born every minute.

It is only a sucker punch the FIRST time.

Good read. I will buy (Just as I bought Sex and the City Season 6 PART ONE AND TWO!) but they can make up for it all, by including some special features from the box set (All? Most?)
