UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

[Just Passing Through]

While I do agree, the £69.99 price point is in line with comparable sets nowadays, that's only because we're at a stage now in the boutique/collector's market where these are the going rates for these sorts of sets, and consumers have been conditioned to pay these prices (and I'm one of those consumers!).

So… who’s going to spend £80 on GTA6 for an empty box and a digital code?

EDIT: And nothing to resell once you’re tired of it.

Me! Except, I'll probably just buy it digitally with ShopTo e-cards, haha. Save the planet and all that.

Sailor moon Steel book- £300 @ 200 episodes ~ £1.50p/e

Dandadan S2 CE - £49 @ 12 Episodes - £4.08p/e

Dandadan S2 - £28 @ 12 Episodes - £2.33p/e

After the Rain- £30 @ 12 Episodes - £2.50p/e

So price wise I dont think Sailor Moon is bad value especially when you consider something like Attack on Titan has half the number of episodes but the steelbooks total around £200 (and thats a re-release set!)

I do think its been left a little late but I dont think £300 is a bad price at all

Me too except it's it'll be the £70 - 10% staff discount from Argos - my £40 odd Nectar points + the £20 Ultimate edition upgrade on PSN. 2 days off already booked!
Then probably the disc version at some point, maybe.

I'm not one of them! For me a release has to meet a certain price point or go on sale at some point or I'm simply gonna pass on that release.

For me, it depends. If it's a series I adore, then I'll pay going rates for releases. For example, more than happy to pay full whack for the Naruto and Naruto Shippuden sets because it's a series I love and will watch over and over again.

However, Sailor Moon less so as I don't have as much fondness or nostalgia for the series - so steeper discounts are necessary to tempt me. Someone who absolutely adores Sailor Moon will likely be more than happy to pay the full £70 per set because they want it and that's just the price of comparable sets nowadays, unfortunately.
