It doesn't help that part 1 is now oop and part 2 is out of stock with "back soon" marked on it. It doesn't exactly instill confidence.
The US sets are still available from the CR store for $140 vs £60 here.
It's not like there haven't been issues with Gundam stuff outside the print errors either, Gundam NT is using the theatrical version and not the finalised Home Video version and the obscene prices for the Build Fighters CEs with half the normal amount of episodes at a higher price point. Then to...
The lack of advertising doesn't help. Lupin only got 2 screenings near me in an out of town cinema that's awkward to get to and both pretty late in the evening. Only 1 person bought a ticket for each screening.

The charge for Macross Plus(£89 ex VAT) alone was €46.33 including the disbursement fee.
I don't think that's the issue, the main problem is UPS have by and far the highest disbursement charges once it arrives in country.
For Ireland FedEx is €12(or 30% of the tax charge, whichever is higher) upto a max of €15, DHL is between €10 and €15 depending on value. Both of those carriers...
