Lol.. I thought this was gonna be a fansub link or something. Naw, we mostly all know about it, now man. Someone posted about it in another thread. Thanks for making a thread about it to bring it to attention to others that might miss it, in any case. I'm seriously considering picking that set up.

Thanks, I didn't know that.  Now I just need to get to Walmart.

Thanks alot for the info. I'll be buying this as soon as I can get together $30 .

[ben0119]

Anyway, I have amassed the sufficient funds required to get Moribito.  I can't decide between that and a new video game.  Though, seeing as I have already thoroughly played a predecessor to this game that is very similar and I may never see Moribito on TV again, I will have to pick up Moribito, methinks.  Does anyone know if that sale is still going?

A "premium" boxset has been soliciated.

I'll pass at that price.

[ben0119]

Is that serious?  I paid thirty bucks for the whole series.  Sure, bare-bones packaging and all but the point is to watch it!  Plus, there isn't even a picture.  I mean, good grief!

[Chagum12]

At that price, it may include Balsa's spear, Chagum's wakizashi and Tanda's herb collecting kit...

[anime_fan_800]

.ouch.  that shows how bad media blasters is hurting if RS is charging that much. .  Glad i already own it all.

And a 1:1 scale Rarunga!

Seriously wtf.  There's only 26 episodes!  What special-ness could it possibly include?!

[Noble10]

Maybe each package contains a character from Moribito to keep.

Although that makes me worry if someone got a Rarunga... that wouldn't be pretty.

A pig will fly over a frozen hell before I buy such an overpriced set... but damn it if it doesn't make me curious!

I wonder if it is limited release?

It looks like it is going to be the special $20 artbox with the super jewel case singles put inside.

[theSLiKbandit]

Ha......

I paid over that price for it.  >_>

Suffice it to say that I sought out the singles and the collector's box ASAP.

You have got to be kidding me.

[Top_Gun]

What else did you think it was going to be?

[ben0119]

Something a little more substantial than that!  There should be some sort of collector's items(s) and bonus materials included to justify that price.

[Top_Gun]

The price is akin to purchasing all of the two-pack releases and the premium artbox separately, and actually saves you a good $20 over doing so. There's not really any other justification required.

[ben0119]

Well, maybe not for you.  But, another thing is, buying those DVDs separate it doesn't feel like you are spending as much money.  You generally buy box sets to save [substantial] money, or get extras.  I have the whole series for 30 bucks (and it has bonus features!).  I can watch it.  That is what ultimately matters.  I find it hard to justify paying an arm an leg for some fancy packaging.  Which is basically what this amounts to.

[Top_Gun]

Well if you already own it, then why the heck are you complaining?

[WickedSmile]

I just want to know why they showed every episode but the final one? I had to find it on the net in subs.

[Top_Gun]

Um...episode 26 aired right after episode 25 did.

Then my DVR **derp** worse than I previously thought. I set it to record that episodes and got nothing.

[ben0119]

I dunno'.  I just... was imagining all these amazing things that such a pricey set could be, and now I'm a bit... disappointed.  I probably wouldn't have bought it anyway, but still...
