Overseas The Discotek Media Thread (plus AnimEigo)

That's interesting. I know AnimEigo have UK rights and the OVA has been released in the UK during the 90s (with an 18) but there's nothing on the artwork that suggests a UK version unless they plan to put stickers on it or something lol.
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 €)
Shop will also take pre-orders for Megazone 23 (40 €) soon and Time of Eve (likely 25 €) later.

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.
 
Megazone 23 Blu-ray, 40,00 € 40 € incl. EU tax (and looks like free EU shipping?)
Orders over 29 € can select a free "Two Car" Keychain as gift.

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.

Will these eventually be listed on Amazon US? If not, I may have to use a parcel forwarder to get the Digimon Movie Collection
 
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.
 
Mine says delivery today by 10pm. Hasn't been dispatched nor have I been charged. Not hopeful...

The UK listing is gone for me. The main one is now the Amazon US import.
I was charged immediately and was due to be delivered by 8pm. The UK listing is still there, but you need to select other sellers. It now states there it will be delivered between December 2nd to March 28th.
 
Anyone here actually have this dispatch? The current timeframe for Amazon UK orders is November - March which is not a good sign.
I received an email today saying delivery has been delayed to an unspecified date. If I follow the item link in my order page though, it shows as in stock via Amazon US with a delivery estimate of early October. 🤷‍♂️

Same, but the Amazon UK listing is in other sellers and is still about £9.

If it doesn't ship I'll just order the German version, it's only another €7 including shipping.
