In theory, this should be a high seller for them, so you would think they would be making a fair few of them. I also can't recall a pre-order that has sold out on their website in a matter of minutes?

Either way, I'll be constantly refreshing the website on July 11th because I know they can sometimes drop it before the advertised time.

Pretty sure the fastest thing to sell out that had a significant print run was the Eva UE and that took 3 days. It took another 2 weeks then for the extra run of 500 to sell out.
 
AL's QC is really getting out of hand lately, really disappointing to see as well, we know they can do great which is the worst part.

It isn't even the odd thing anymore as so many releases lately have been plauged with errors.

It makes you wonder what is up and who is actually working with these releases because it doesn't feel they give a damn and just pushing things out the door.

I don't know the first thing about home video production though so I don't want to assume that the AL staff don't give a damn but it definitely feels whoever are working on some of these aren't putting their full care and attention into it clearly.
 
The thing for me is I've been a Gundam fan long enough to know Sunrise will sometimes change the official English spellings (case in point SEED Freedom reverts one super fan and consultant Mark Simmons argued against back when Destiny was being translated). But this is outdated spellings on the discs and what looks like Google translations in the booklet. That feels less like licensor demands and more like very poor production. Which for a £100 set isn't good.
 
Now I’m really glad I canceled my Gundam 4K set lol what a mess. I originally canceled my order because of how long they took to dispatch it (a whole week) and it was a blessing in disguise. Really dodged a bullet there.

Hopefully This isn’t a sign of things to come for the Naruto set.
