So yeah, keep us posted on how your hunt goes for the books if you do look into them. =)

Oh no, I'm not even going to try to hunt down Buddha! The releases of that series have been so screwed up! I have no idea where I'd start, so I'll just stick to Tezuka's other stuff first of all (can't wait for MW and Ode to Kirihito).

Buddha does have a legendary status, though, so I'd love to check it out sometime. Hopefully a proper release will come up again!

What do you think the chances of it being published a third time are? :?

EDIT: It's not actually a messed up release, the paperbacks can easily be found. I just want the hardbacks :/

EDIT 2: Actually it is messed up, apparently it's left to right format.

Unless Vertical releases things in the UK, I doubt you'd find them.

Then a thought popped into my head.. Forbidden Planet import =D

EDIT: Oh and something else I learned while looking through the Amazon marketplace for the two books that are out of stock/print now (5+6 - hardback version), that many of them that say they are selling new versions, actually have 'retailer marks', apparently that means they PUT A NASTY BIG BLACK MARK ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BOOK!

I mean, what the hell is the thinking behind that!? So what if they are sending them back to the distributors... they don't need to be marked like that!

Most stupid thing I've heard of in retailing....

Ah, you are right. I just check the book depository and they seem to have all 7 volumes in sock ^_^ Collecting the whole thing would expensive, though :[

What do the hardbacks look like?

Chrimbo present replacement for my friend turned up in the post, Sanurai 7 box set from anime on line.
Click to expand...

What form of package does this take?

There are so many different style packages out there, most of which aren't described in any form on the producers/retailers website, which is quite ridiculous really.

Actually, I'm thinking of compiling my own list of packaging styles!

It is a 7 disc thinpack type box with MVM and Gonzo on the spine and product number MVD6022.

I may have to borrow it back at some point and see if there are any differences from the fullsized R1 set I have.

Thanks! =)

I didn't know the R1 set was a full sized one either. That's unusual for Funimation, they normally do digipacks.
 
Not sure if I bought the R1 box set soon after it finished being released as single discs, sometimes do this if I think about getting something and it is near the end of its run. Though I think sometimes they do just stick the discs into the box if they have loads left, then release thinpacks and things a little later.

The funny thing is that because most of my collection is R1, I had not noticed the 15 certificate on the R2 now it really stands out to me.
