I always thought it was a matter of finding any old DVD case and using that, when fixing the package together. I can't even count how many series I have where the cases are different for a few of the volumes. I always considered it pot luck that I'd get a series with the same type of case for every volume.

The Scavano cases I've gotten used to now, but I hate the MVM ones.
To the above poster, I think companies tend to buy loads in bulk and when supply runs out they buy more of that case or another.
A few times companies have said they didn't have the cases they want (old CPM boxes had black boxes instead of clear when the sleeves had technical information on the box). Reprintings had the clear cases though.
I remember my Lost Universe singles all 6 DVD's had a different type of case. I just hope Beez use proper Amaray cases

Actually there isn't to my knowledge, the units are the only ones Bandai has to spare from the units they have - read that as you will!
So 500 is the hard limit, though if popular I can always see what can be done regarding getting more reproduced over here in Europe if demand necessitates

Yep, we as standard use Amaray so there's no need to worry there! When not using Amaray as many will have seen we tend to use Digipacks

Ah very interesting, and that's very good news indeed. Let's hope Lucky Star and Code Geass do as well for Bandai. (I'm sure they will).

Hope to see more digipacks in the future, they save me so much room and I'm running outta space in here :lol:
Is there any chance, Bebop and Wolfs Rain will get released in digipacks? I would especially like to purchase Wolfs Rain in one.

Really? If it is this time it's a problem retailer side as both myself and Pinnacle made sure it shipped after release date slipped first time due to shortage of BBFC stickers.
Deeply sorry for any problems you are facing right now getting a copy - will look into just why retailers are claiming that!

Regarding the collectors market in the UK btw, watch this space, particularly at London Expo. As I've been giving that some thought of late...

Andrew, tell me that the 3x9ep sub only box set deal for Gurren Lagann is happening here too.

As I've said in the thread on it atm - I can neither confirm nor deny the license at present. Personally and this is completely in my own opinion if it was released over here it would be silly NOT to follow the same style for whoever acquired it

Just wondering how successful the Gunbuster 2 sub only release was in the UK. Haven't heard much about it since the initial press release, and wondering if it was successful enough for Beez to consider doing other releases in a similar fashion, as it seems a cost effective way of releasing niche titles.
