I've already got the US release of Is this a Zombie? and have pre-ordered both part 3 of Tiger and Bunny and part 1 of Steins Gate on bluray.
 
As much as I want Steins;Gate, I'm going to wait for either Funimation or Manga to release a Complete version. Kurisu is fine but it's not representing the main point of the series compared to Funi's cover despite Manga were unable to use that one.

It's a well regarded adaptation of a highly acclaimed visual novel. The characters are meant to be really interesting and its time-travel story makes it appealing.

Having spent way too much money on 3DS games last month, I had to cancel my Steins;Gate order... I'll buy it later on down the line when part 2 is out. Though with the original VN coming out I'm kind of interested in playing that first.

A riveting time-travel story with a delightful fruitcake of a lead character and lots of female eye-candy. Also very funny when not being deadly serious.

I thought I'd have Is This A Zombie? by now but United Publications haven't sent it.

This might change your mind. I asked Manga:
Could you not get rights to use Huke's artwork or was it just those two covers? The JP BDbox artwork would've been nice otherwise.

And the response I got was
With regard to your 2nd point. Wait until you see what's on the other side of the BD sleeve. Could be an alternate cover. ;) ^JG

If they're using that JP BD Box cover I will be Jealous enough to double dip.

We won't get a complete version if there isn't one in Japan. They won't allow it. At least that's what Jerome said on the Manga Uk Podcast. Might happen in the US though, I'm sure someone said they released a complete version of something that we weren't allowed in the UK. Hopefully I'm not making that up :p
 
From Manga's twitter, here's the inside art. Looks pretty sweet!

I'll be getting Is This A Zombie? soon & Tiger & Bunny Part 3 when I get Part 2.

Fun fact: There is a Complete set released in Japan,and it looks gorgeous. Surprised no one has brought this up every time the show was mentioned.

In all fairness, this was released in March 2013 so it would be too soon to make a complete set. Not to mention that every 13+ episode series always get split into two parts for various reasons.
 
Cool. Maybe a complete collection will come out but I'd still be surprised if we get one here. Time will tell.
