Why is it so hard to find a legit Outlaw Star box set?

I see the $80.98 copy on Amazon, but all the cheap $32 are crappy and (illegal?) imports. Is $81 the best it's gonna get?

Fear not, on March 16th (and the 2nd too), Bandai is going to be re-releasing a lot of their DVD catalogue with new UPC codes and new prices. The Outlaw Star box is getting lowered to $59.98.

Not bad for the whole set.


Wasn't Oulaw Star (official release) two $40 sets? Can you even get the whole thing in one set? I guess with the new ones you'll be able to, but before that I mean...

I just saw it in Media Play, and it was $81. That's better than if you bought all the individual sets. The first two have nine episodes and the last one has eight. They're $40 a pop. That's $120. You save $19, plus you get a cool box to display them in.

A lot of places list it as out of stock. Looks like it's been discontinued.

look up above you.. its being reissued along with most of there releases at a lower price point and new UPC.

Wow, I hadn't heard about Bandai reissuing their old properties-- that's very cool. I don't suppose there's any chance they'll resurrect the Cowboy Bebop Perfect Session box? (-: Wouldn't matter too much to me personally as I already have the individual discs and am not particularly financially ready for a double-dip of that magnitude, but it would be nice to see it come back since so many people are always asking about it.

So are Bandai's discounted rereleases a response to Geneon's Signature Series?

It seems that way to me...
This is awesome news.

Spiffy.
