So it is £1/2 cheaper than amazon with shipping costs......

But if i can buy it on amazon it might go down in price.

This is not like Origin when it was an exclusive bandai thing its just the CE you can get from Japan I dont see why I would order from AL. Its a pound and AL sometimes ship these really slow

I checked the price bandai visual is charging for this special edition (with the bonus item that AL show)

9800 yen (so about £66) so to beat AL you'd have to get forwarding for £14 and no customs. The deal isn't bad, but JP generally always add a markup to editions with store exclusive bonuses vs the bog standard thing.

Well you can listen to it, you just can't understand it. But you're not everyone, and some people can understand it. Also you don't have to pay for it, you could just not buy it... But you're apparently ordering it from Amazon... even though you're complaining to AL about the CD which is also going to be in the exact same version you're buying from Amazon.

No im buying the cheaper edition. As I wont understand all the extras so I dont see any point. The cheaper does include the 16 pg book is which is interesting. But nothing else.

Don't know where your getting that. The equivalent version AL has with the drawing costs ~£82/€95 including tax and shipping from Amazon Japan:

£82 from AL vs £64 from Amazon JP. That’s not counting shipping. Consider that the Amazon price will most likely drop to the ¥7000 to ¥8000 range, and that’ll convert to £47 to £52.
 
It will after time though if people want it to pre-order or get it sooner then AL would be more cheaper, less hassle and risk free.
 
Ok, firstly- we all know I'm a Gundam mark.

But the only time I've flipped about one of these releases was Unicorn 7. It was actually cheaper to have an American friend help me buy and ship a copy from rightstuf at the time.

Though as a general complaint- it is beyond ridiculous that Sunrise doesn't translate the various extras. That has held for UC, Thunderbolt, Origin and now NT.

You care enough about the global market you pay for dubs, guys. Dubs you then mostly give away for free on YouTube. If you wanna charge for collector's editions, I'm sure there's a big enough combined English market for your overseas partners for you to produce a translated version for them to then provide to their customers. For crying out loud, Bandai know translates kit manuals into English and puts the text after the Japanese!
