One of my personal grail items, the soundtrack for Godzilla: Tokyo SOS. This was the third, and IMO the best, Godzilla score by Michiru Oshima (Bloom Into You, Fullmetal Alchemist) and has been OOP for over a decade. Frustratingly, it did have a rerelease a few years ago... but only on vinyl.

eBay scalpers often ask £100+ for this, so it took years to find a copy at a reasonable price. I finally got it on Mandarake. They rated the condition as 5/10, but they seem to be very cautious about that sort of thing, as I would say it's more a 7 or 8.

Everytime someone mentions Godzilla scores it always makes me remember Little Prince and the Eight-Headed Dragon! :)
 
so I took a bunch of old DVDs into CEX as you can't sell DVDs to them online, some pretty good arty stuff that has either come out or is coming to bluray. had a look around the store beforehand to see if it was worth getting some credit and was pleasantly surprised to find these, Gundam Seed complete & Nadia 4K complete in collector boxes for very reasonable prices!
but I have a question - did these get a release as "complete collections", or are these "Part 1 came with the box and Part 2 was put in afterwards" releases? Seed has a small artbook included.

Gundam part 1 is with the art box.
Gundam part 2 is with the art book.
Ultimate editon might be the only way they come together, but ultimate edition is 2 art boxes + a 3rd artbox housing those 2 +a hardback artbook and instead of the CE art books its a poster and some art cards.

Where they selling the gundam as seprate parts? it sound like as a bundle. but I have noticed some animes they put complete series for just part 1 (and gundam is one of those where this happens) (I assume its partly cause the titles naming from publishers can be a bit confusing (as in complete series for when the 1st season is released or in gundams case no actual identify just and episode count of 1-25))

Nadia 4k I think orginally when I bought from AllTheaAnime came with a loose extra/replacement disc, I can't remember the error, it might have been subtitles, so might be ok if your ok with dubs.
EDIT: This looks to be the ultimate edition, But I think it comes with an A4 hardback art book (well i think its hardback), which I would think Cex are very unlikley to take in and combine (certainly won't be required)
They also released a 4k part 1 & 2 and part 1 had the art box, part 2 I think is just case and discs and seprately sold

thanks for figuring all this out
they were just sold to me as complete boxsets, I guess the previous owner bought them separately but combined them and took them into the shop as sets.
damn I better check those Nadia discs as I'm very much subs only ...
edit: phew, subs all present and correct!

Mine was the ultimate edition so it was 4k and blu-ray discs, so its possible the fault was just standard blu-ray.

EDIT: just did a qucik forum search for nadia defective and Magical Senshi had made a post in the photo recieved thread and looks to just be standard Blu-ray for disc 2 and episode 18, so you should be fine with the 4k set.

The error is indeed on one of the blu-ray discs, but it's not subtitles. Episode 18 is inaccessible due to an authoring error, explained here:
