That's what will probably happen. It would still need the rating to be printed on the disc though to adhere to UK law.

Small reminder especially for non-UK AnimEigo fans:
Riding Bean Blu-ray, 18,00 € still 18 € incl. tax
Otaku no Video Blu-ray, 20,00 € still 20 € incl. tax
(iirc free EU shipping for orders > 19 €)

Germanized version include exclusive slipcase (not rigid), mini booklet and translated packaging. Discs will have FSK rating printed on disc (assumingly stickered on shrinkwrap) but are otherweise 100 % the same as AnimEigo, so 100 % English friendly.

Bubblegum Crisis, Bubblegum Crash, AD Police, Time of Eve and Metal Skin Panic: Madox-01 are now listed in the Animeigo section on Anime Sugoi for release next year.
The interesting one is AD Police as I don't believe Animeigo have announced a blu-ray release for that.
I don't believe new masters for Madox or Bubblegum Crisis have been announced either.

AnimEigo have teased a re-release of Bubblegum Crisis with the previous sets now out of print during their latest newsletter/blog post.
Madox I think MediaOCD worked on already so I expect that will stay the same.
Discotek have revealed their November release slate plus 1 release for December to round up the year.

Will these eventually be listed on Amazon US? If not, I may have to use a parcel forwarder to get the Digimon Movie Collection

Very likely these will be on Amazon too, usually there's a delay between the stores

Ah yes, I've managed to find the listing for the Digimon films here. No details on it yet, but I'll sit tight and wait for that to pop up properly.

Riding Bean down to £9 on Amazon UK. The release date is today and it's gone straight to 3-4 day dispatch. Be interesting to see if they ever actually get any stock.

Very happy to see I could have Sgt. Frog Seasons 5-7 Collection by Christmas.

So I've recently been getting into region-A releases after jailbreaking my PS3 into a region-free player, and Discotek is obviously a label that has popped up a lot during my browsing.
Looking over their back catalogue and the kind of releases they do, I wish we had an equivalent label in the UK. Granted, I'm not interested in everything Discotek have ever released, in fact there's only a handful of titles that I'm going to purchase from them at the moment. However, I appreciate the kind of work and releases they seem to put out.
No fancy packaging or needless tat to try and bolster up the price - just an amaray case/sleeve, where the disc and video quality is the star of the show (as it should be). I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I watched an episode of my Digimon Adventure Blu-ray from them, it's such a masterful upscale.
What they've managed to do with the Digimon Movie Collection is amazing as well - uncut, original Japanese audio, a newly done English dub, and the original English dub track and film remastered (for peak nostalgia) as essentially a special feature. And all for 22USD! Some other companies, which I won't name, would make the original dub and film an exclusive feature in a super mega deluxe edition and bump up the price.
