Zoids Boxsets

[hanzkaz]

Does anyone know if any Zoids DVD boxsets have ever been released? I know there have been some Zoids Genesis sets but I'm thinking about getting the entire series as a single package.

I find it weird that you can buy entire various Gundam, Evangelion and other anime series as box sets, but have to hunt down individual DVD's of the Zoids anime, even the older series.

Nope, as much as I know older series of Zoids dont have box sets, only genesis has 3 box sets, and you have to get 3 individual, they dont make 1 single box for it. Though its expensive, if Im rite its around 30000yen per box.. but that's reasonable price for 4 DVDs per box include a clear holotech genesis liger.

I'd have been happy with a cheaper Liger-less set.

Well then you'd be a bit disappointed to know that the Liger doesn't add that much to the price. For some reason not quite known, Japanese DVDs are incredibly expensive. I paid 22,000 yen for each of my three DVD Boxsets and considering that generally a Japanese DVD tends to cost around 5,500 yen each I consider 22,000 yen a fair deal for a shiny boxset and extra zoid. Shipping is a fair bit though.

Yeh that's rite

The whole market is inflated, causing CDs and most other media to be equally expensive. When anime gets released stateside, a number of Japanese actually buy our DVD and CD sets since it costs so much less, even with shipping. It's a growing problem for the industry there, so you typically find even more incentives with most japan-release versions now.

Anime is expensive here, but it's remarkable how cheap it is compared to stuff over there.

Sometimes, if your lucky and look hard enough, you may find a box set for a very good price. I got all 67 CC/ GF episodes for only $57.00 on ebay. Who knows, keep searching

EDIT: Oh, and there never was and official box set released of the whole series.

[Tilly]

Was it DVD rips, cartoon network'd, or what? Far as I know there's no official release like that, though with how cheap the CC/GF DVDs sometimes get you could probably get the full set for a sane price, even if it wouldn't have a box.

(Yeah, possibly-pirated stuff is against the TOS, but discussing it in terms of what to avoid should be okay.)

Of course, the official US release isn't that great quality if my one disc is anything to go by. I suspect the Japanese DVDs are nicer (my couple VHS have better color), but I really don't want to buy one just to find that out. Blarg.

[dragonslx1]

Naw Tilly it was the regular release, but im not picky so it works fine to me.

[Tilly]

Regular release = the US DVDs? Since they never came in a box set I'm not sure what you mean...though if that was separate from the box set thing, never mind. I know I've seen people selling "all the Zoids episodes in English" and other such obviously not-offcial things, though, so that's why I was wondering.

[dragonslx1]

Sorry for being unclear, he simply had all the dvds and placed them together, acting like a box set, sorry for the mistake.
