Rui said:Well, if they released cheap collections after the initial version which were better in some way, fans like me would rage and stop buying things on release at all. Which would be a problem, as several US companies learned to their cost. The most effort should always go into the very first release if a company wants to keep its fanbase keen, I feel.

If they wanted quality they'd have given up on the UK and gone US import only years ago. USA releaes being shite as well has actualy pushed me back to the UK for some things, in the vein hope they might fix authoring errors.Rui said:Seems that a lot of people here though only want the lowest price possible, and don't care about the quality.

fabricatedlunatic said:Beez are pretty much the only UK distributor using anything like premium packaging these days.
Rui said:I'd like some fancier releases too, but it seems that the market here is a lot less healthy than Germany's.
No, you're right: Beez mostly do premium packaging for the initial releases.Mace20de said:Please correct me, if I'm wrong, but the only premium boxsets from Beez I know and that are still available are the limited edition of Gurren Lagann, Durarara!! and maybe Gundam 00, the rest is Anime Legends amaray stuff.
fabricatedlunatic said:A few years ago they would release half or complete series sets with art boxes (My Hime, Planetes, Witch Hunter Robin, Fantastic Children, etc.) and still do premium releases occasionally, like 2009's Bebop Remix digipack and the forthcoming Durarara complete collection.
Just what the Beez representative mentioned a couple of months ago:Mace20de said:Do you have any news, when the Durarara!! complete set will be released?
and...beez_andrew said:DRR I'm pressing for but there'll be a dubbed boxset by next year I believe. It's definitely happening anyway, with assets out there it would be a bad move not to do so.
Won't got to Anime Legends immediately either - will instead get a nicer release with dub first - different to the US release too.
Wait, what?Reaper gI said:If they wanted quality they'd have given up on the UK and gone US import only years ago. USA releaes being shite as well has actualy pushed me back to the UK for some things
Sadly, these boxes are "uber premium", compared to most of the stuff we get nowadays.ayase said:Beez's old half series boxes could hardly have been called "premium" though.
Nevermind , I was just curious myself. I had a slim hope that they release a better complete set.ilmaestro said:Mace20de: Thanks for the info on the Moribito box-set.
