Even Bandai released a whole series boxset for Jubei-chan. These sets come at like $40 or less in stores like Bestbuy and Fry's Electronics. Why would they release these? So they can make PROFIT.
The weird logic behind these though is that they release these like a month or so after the whole series is released in seperatly sold dvds. This, in my opinion, would make a customer irritated. I was irritated when I finished up Burn-Up eXcess collection, which was bought seperatly, and a month later, a collection comes in for cheaper than all the seperately sold dvds combined! Wouldn't you be mad? That's why I am not for R1 releases right now.
Jubei Chan's brick and Burn Up Excess Collection aren't released right after the last dvds were released. So? If consumers want to get the hot new series right when they are released, they have to pay the prices. If you don't want to pay, be patient and wait for the bricks. Who knows when they will be out.
Make a profit? Sure, of course every company wants to make a profit. However, these bricks are released to make whatever little profit they could still make after a certain time frame. They know that there are still people out there waiting for a cheap brick set.
Don't know where you got your Burn Up Excess from, I got my 4 DVDs lesser than what the brick cost, including shipping.
Mad? Not at all. Why should I be? I want the dvds and I'm willing to pay their prices. The only recent one I could think of is RightStuf's Comic Party. The normal boxset comes out the same time as the last dvd. Eh so what? I contemplated whether to get the normal set or the Ltd Ed set. Of course I went for the Ltd Ed set. It's only $20 more expensive than the regular version, unless I have to pay more than $80 price difference, I don't care.
