Too late for me, getting Funimations set instead.

That sounds like a rather convenient excuse to try and make us forgive them for not doing simulcasts in future. I shan't be falling for it.
I can think of a lot of ways that the typical Manga negotiating style may have annoyed a licensor and 'wanting to simulcast it like almost all of the other companies do nowadays' is pretty low down in that list. Glaringly obvious that we only have a tiny part of that story in this case.
My main beef with Manga isn't even that they don't do simulcasts so much as the fact that they actively and deliberately try to block simulcasts for us when other companies could do them (I get why it's not commercially attractive for them, but that's their problem rather than mine). Suddenly moving all of the goalposts and crying victim isn't going to win any sympathy. Still not seen Sakamoto.

Or they could have coupled them with the set, outside of it, somehow like Funimation sometimes too. There are certainly a few fixes to the issue and I'm sure most of us would rather have the art cards than not, especially when we thought they were in the set until less than a week before release.
Honestly I'm less fussed about the cards and more that there is has been no communication about it and that set is now looking quite expensive for no extras and a hard box. ^^;

Does anyone else remember when the SRP was £10 less for Manga's combo packs and everyone was whining that they needed to use rigid artboxes instead of slipcovers? It wasn't that long ago.

I believe I've always argued against combi packs since I don't want DVDs

I'm against combo packs, but I accept them as the lesser of two evils when it's combo pack or DVD-only.

I'm confused. Are they talking about the rigid box or the amaray? Hasn't mangamatsu put the artcards in the amaray before ala chunibyo 2?
Also being that the set is released in 10 days!!!!!!!:
Shouldn't they already have the cards printed by now?
Shouldn't it be shipping to retailers?
Shouldn't someone have figured out dimensions before sending off to the printers?

They be removed the artcards because they won't fit in the box because of DVDs. So there will not be any artcards sadly.

I wonder if this is a one off or if all the Deluxe Editions are no longer coming with art cards.

Blimey, that Blu-ray Limited Edition of My Love Story is expensive.
It's only three discs, so there must be some other reason for...
Oh, I see now: a folded-up poster and five 'art cards'.
Yeah, makes perfect sense.
?!?!?
Simple reason for its price - it's a 2-cour series (24 episodes). In the US Sentai are putting it out for SRP $99.98.

A 2-core none Aniplex season with a shity poster and art card should be going for £55 tops what there charging for it is criminal jerome throws a song and dance about other companies over pricing anime then he goes and does the same thing not to mention his attempt at an collectors edition is an half assed at best
