Availability of the Japanese ZOIDS DVDs

[nekorin]

In my current state Japanese Zoids DVDs aren't of much use to me. However, I've taken some Japanese and one day I might be fluent enough to enjoy the Japanese versions. On cd japan the zoids DVDs are about 60 dollars each... that's hell'a expensive, but by Japanese standards that's normal, isn't it?

They're old now so I'm sort of surprised. I'm not in a position to buy them yet, having no job and no fluency, but someday I might be.

So, are there any chances they might release box sets for the series? And if not, how long can we guess the original DVDs might still be available?

EDIT: On further investigation, some might be rare already. T_T

A bit late, but yeah, the DVDs seem to be slowly disappearing. As far as I know there aren't any box sets for CC/GF (and I don't think the series was popular enough that they'll re-release anytime soon -- although, watch me be wrong since I typed it!)

I've seen complete sets being sold on Yahoo!Japan but they're not cheap.

However, if you ever find yourself in need of DVD 03, I'm your girl A while ago I was on a mission to get the complete Japanese set when I saw the discs going out of print and somehow managed to get myself 3 copies of it!

CC's are vanishing, like fiver said, and /Zero looks to be finally doing the same too. I'm kinda glad I got the two I did with first run postcards, though I hope volume 3 doesn't vanish before zoids-anime gets to subbing it. (PM me about that.)

Now if I could just get the money together for Fuzors. Yeah >_>. Genesis had box sets with the holotech Ligers, I think a couple of those are still findable.

And then there's the Reflections DVDs...which don't really count for much unless you like commentary. they're hard to find, too.

Grr, there's no way I'll be able to buy them before getting a job, either! T_T What to do??
