Overseas The Discotek Media Thread (plus AnimEigo)
- Thread starter NormanicGrav
- Start date
I think at this point, every time this has been happening, we'll just have to rely on Rightstuf at this point. As much as I appreciate UP1's efforts, they're not available 24/7 so situations like this is such a big gamble.
My point is - I expect UP1 won't have the order because they probably didn't order outside their working hours.
That said, the fact that Rightstuf somehow still has Baldios and Goshogun in stock, is surprising and thus UP1 should be able to secure those at least.
My next target for Discotek is the Lamune series as it's the last Ashi Productions title I am interested in that's on the Blu-ray format.
Indeed, it’s quite frustrating from an international buyers perspective with all of these titles going OOP. Will have to wait and see re Govarian but I’m not expecting it to materialise at this stage.
The Lamune titles are a solid pickup -I’m looking forward to watching VS soon.

Hey everyone, haven't found much time to post lately.
Just popping my head in to say...someone mentioned Machine Robo possibly going out of print and I'm sure Discotek mentioned that on Twitter as one of their soon to be discontinued titles so I'd definitely get on that.
This whole situation is really frustrating, I missed out on Dancouga & Goshogun on Blu ray. I have the DVDs but it would have been really nice to snag the BDs. I think this is the first year in quite some time I haven't made any big orders for imports. Just got married so was trying to keep my spending a bit more under control.
I'm going to have to put in more regular orders with Rightstuf and United Publications to avoid disappointment in the future.

Well my hopes were ruined, UP1 informed me that Goshogun & Goshogun: The Time Etranger had to be cancelled.
So far nothing's been said for Space Warrior Baldios.

I did indeed. That may well be the best way forward and hoping the order comes to fruition.
