How'd you preorder it? I just went to thier website, and it's not up for preorder yet.

So I guess it's the *old* KOR set in my pre-order list. That's kinda funny.

BTW.. I don't see a release date on the site for Box 4.. Although I do see TV set 5 and 6 on the project status section..Kinda weird. I wonder if this means that the set is about to ship. That would be kinda cool although I really don't feel like spending that money right now.

AnimeIgo can only sell their products in the US and Canada from their website cause their license only covers that region, they can get in serious trouble if they start selling overseas directly from their site. If you live outside North Amercica you've got to buy from a reseller

The problem is that they don't sell to resellers. Second, it's not illegal to allow people to import products to other places (which is why sometimes, you have companies like Bandai limiting releases in America for fear that Japanese Customers would import from America because it's cheaper).

Shibo, Box 4 is out already. AOD reviewed it.

I like how Animeigo keeps your preorder. I have some serious battle scars on mine.

Well I know AnimeNation and Animecornerstore has AnimeIgo stuff and they ship internationally.

I'm pretty sure AnimeIgo cannot sell their products to places outside North America directly.

You can also find Animeigo stuff at Rightstuf.

I can't find Macross anywhere beyond AnimeIgo's website and Ebay.

I see that disc 16-20 of UY have been reviewed on Anime on DVD but I see no mention of box 4 on the site.. Nor do I see it on animeigo's site beyond a place where the set can be pre-ordered..

I'm telling you, Rightstuf has it. I just ordered it for a friend of mine from there when they had a sale a month ago.

As for UY. You can only get the boxsets at Animeigo's site as far as I know. You cna purchase the individual discs like I did from other sites. I think it's too soon for discs 16-20 to be at resellers. Give them a couple more months.

[Shibo]

Welp, looks like box 4 *just* came out. My card got charged on tuesday and it shipped via UPS yesterday, with an ETA of July 9th. I'm looking forward to getting it but I hope no more sets come out for a few months so my wallet has time to recover. It's hard to not order stuff when you've set yourself up to automatically pre-order stuff as soon as it comes out. =P Ah well. Hopefully that'll be my last order till September.

[Vicious]

Thta's exactly how I was feeling. I'm glad YUA is over and my credit card can't get charged anymore. Only thing I'm waiting for now is the KOR OVA's/movie.

[Prophet Hero]

Good news. I hope it also includes more online retailers.

[matthewmalay]

That's real good news. I see they are finally getting a proper distributor to Canada, it's a real pain to find their stuff here

[morgorath]

Now that is news to be proud of...

I just hope it doesn't get a huge mark up
for are friends in the north... yes I'm talking
about you to JJ
