Depends. Build Fighters was kind of a surprise hit. We really only got it as filler because recent Gundam shows weren't winning over kids. Indeed in a recent interview they confirmed BF was basically trying to make good on the 'Gunpla arcade experience' AGE was pitched to them as and failed to be.

I'd say BF is the better show but in the time since the Build/Breaker sub franchise has taken on a life of its own. One where Bandai can literally tell kids "You don't need to know all the series! Just buy whichever robots look cool, mash em together and make your own fun one!". Indeed they're well on their way to turning the Divers version of Gunpla battle into a real thing and so likely want to push that globally.

Another factor is BF and Try are very open with the visuals of real world Gunpla boxes. Outside of Japan that runs foul of certain advertising laws for kids. Divers does it a few times but the vast majority of the time is spent in the GBN world.
 
It's exclusive to a french seller (Fnac) so don't expet that anywhere else exept in French speaking countries.
The discs are the same between France-UK tho, so if you can import.
 
Yuasa box looks nice, I wonder if there's anything new compared to the individual releases, especially in the book.

@anime_andrew: About the Perfect Blue UE, it's great that you're getting a 4k scan done, but it (only just) occurred to me, since the new transfer means getting a new disc master anyway, is there any chance that we'll see any of the extras or the director's commentary from the Japanese release? I know it's all down to licensing and margins, but I really feel like on-disc behind-the-scenes extras are getting sidelined in the blu-ray era, and the ones on the DVDs of Kon's films were always so illuminating.

Well, I really hope I don't have to send back my two defective Blu-rays from the US, as the cheapest rates even for a small package to the UK looks to be $35 now. I'll happily destroy them, instead - I'm certainly not going to try to resell them disc-only, as it wouldn't be worth the effort even if I was a greedy jerk - especially when they're Region B discs in a Region A Country.

The system in place is pretty good at the moment and once they get the original discs they mark off the users and send them the new disc.
Logically it is a good idea.
