How did I not notice this thread before now? 
I just have one question for Andrew. ( Hello, by the way. )
One thing that really irks me ( except for an episode on disk 6 of Eureka 7 having it's sound out of sync, :cry: ) is the subtitles, it's either all or nothing. Is there any chance that, for those that watch the dub, on future releases you might include a 'sign sub' only option as well?

i've noticed alot of companies doing this lately, even ADV and Funi
it gets annoying having to re-wind a part, turn on subs and re-watch it XD

Heh - easy to miss the thread - I blend into the scenery nicely at times
.To answer your question - it comes down to several production reasons unfortunately as to why we don't do sign subs only just now. For one unlike many, we often have to do releases in up to 3-4 languages per DVD, which can result in 4 separate sub tracks alone. By my understanding doubling this complicates matters when designing the DVD amongst other reasons.
That being said - our counterparts in the US do use them - so what I'll do is look into it and try and post a reply here when I know ^^.

Personally, I would like to see that happen - but it all depends on what the powers that be feel is a good collection!
In the meantime, if at Expo I strongly advise you come along as you'll get a good deal there from us on complete series

Heh, well there's a good selection this time as well as the latest volumes of Eureka Seven (Volume 7), Gundam Seed Destiny (Volume 7), .hack//Roots (Volume 3), My Hime (Volume 6) and the Solid State Society soundtrack will be on stand as well! As well as all our back catalogue
.Beez forums will be back up shortly - there's just some server monkeying going on in the background! Should be up again by end of next week or so latest.

I won't be able to attend the London Expo - so are there are plans to re-stock this boxset online, either at retailers like Amazon or Sendit.com or on Beez's own online store?

Hi Andrew, Its nice to able to speak with one of the representatives of uk anime dvd scene. Just wondering why don't beez or any other of the uk anime companies think about releasing anime series box set directly ONLY off their own website and cut out the middleman retailer in the process.
With no retailer needing to make a profit, the 100% of the profit would be going to beez. With the UK Anime scene being small yet dedicated I think you could raise enough sales through website only to make it viable and also giving the buyer better value for money.
You could adveritse the product by including one of those unskippable trailer you see occasionally on anime dvds on all your future dvds and of course have it advertise ithrough Neo mag, and through the power of word of mouth.
I can't see how you could not manage to get sales required just through online means as we are only talking a 2-3000 to make it workable. But if it doesn't work out you could always sell the remain the box set through retailer at a latter date. I think it worth a go on one of your later dvd box set to see if it would work.

A 30 second trailer to show off a box set, would be worth it to get an lower price and required advertising to make it possible selling directly off beez. For something like that to work you need to pull out every trick in the book to get the required people to know about it and to buy it.
oo, I got an answer.
Ahh, I see. A little saddening, but I can understand the why of it now.
Thanks very muchley. ( Crossed fingers that this is easily sorted and we can have sign subs in future. )
I can't even begin to say how much I dislike that idea. If I can skip it, then fair enough, but if I can't and a DVD takes too long to start, it rubs me up the wrong way, and I tend not to bother with it.

Yeah, same here...I really want the rest of Wing (bought vol 1 five years ago...), but nowhere has it anymore, other than Sendit's vague description that suggests I'll have to wait indefinitely, or Play...which again always seems to be out of stock, and has a price tag above what I'm willing to spend.CitizenGeek said:
I'd love a Wing boxset.

Me too! But, if there hasn't been one by now, I wouldn't think there'll be one coming out anything soon.
It really is a pity that Bandai (and Beez, I guess) completely mis-managed the Gundam series in the West :[

Thanks for the info but i doubt i'll be allowed to go i live a seriously long way away from London, if there ever is a boxset available let me know.
