So do HMV Ireland. Loved it when they never updated the listing for Psycho-Pass and ended up selling the complete bd series for €40(~£32 at the time).

Got mine a month before release. I got it for $80 from my mate who works for funimation.
I just met someone who works for sentai today.
I may be getting my releases from him too.

If you somehow managed to get those CEs for really cheap (because their sales do end up going for 75-80% off at times) I'll be amazed.

Did you ever wonder how usa sellers keep selling new sealed releases on ebay over and over again?
Ask them!!!

I was thinking of buying the new "Hosoda Collection" rerelease of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars and Wolf Children. Manga's release looks identical to Funimation's, but when I compare the Amazon pages for TGWLTT it seems like the UK release contains less special features and only on DVD. Is this correct or is the UK description incomplete?
Do Summer Wars and Wolf Children have the same discs as the US release?

Manga just reused the discs from their original releases, rather than putting any effort into the new releases.

Sounds like a great way to get people to actually y’know want to buy the new versions...

You import for that as for example they didnt fix any of AOT problems for the complete set thats why I imported now before S2 set
Jaysgba

They fixed one problem, they put the shorts back on the bluray.
Summer Wars and Wolf Children are fine to go after. I own the original individual UK BDs and checked the contents with what was listed for the Hosoda Collection. The only difference is that the UK BDs were authored by Madman (Australia) and the DVDs are PAL.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time however is not worth supporting. The UK BD was authored by Selecta Vision (Spain) and there were reports of video quality not being great and some sub issues, plus there's no extras on the disc. The UK DVD is PAL and has all of the extras that Bandai US have to my knowledge.
Disappointing as they had an opportunity to use the Funimation master and completely blew it.

Manga have announced on twitter that they have co-licenced Blame with Dybex for release in the UK, Ireland, France and the Benelux region.

Seeing as they have co-licenced I would assume Dybex will be doing a single master for all territories.

Yeah I hope so too. The Dutch Dybex subtitles often were French to Dutch botch jobs. In their early days they sometimes hired decent translators such as Niels Viveen, but even with his translations I had a few issues.
