I need to pick a retailer and pre-order this soon. I will be getting this release with the artbook... :cool:

[Danime]

Already pre-ordered the $50 version at DVD Pacific ages ago.

[Damius]

This looks awesome..can not believe we will finally can grab it...

[hikaru004]

Preordered this month.

[Talyn]

I pre-ordered this within minutes of TRSI listing it. Hell, I even broke my shipping rule by purchasing just Hellsing Ult. 4 with/ priority shipping.

...I don't think I have ever order anything with priority shipping. I end up ordering it from DVD Pacific. I think I will end up a couple more titles from there with their changes to free S/H.

[Jimmie M]

Pre-ordered it during the Bandai sale along with the LE edition of the Silent Mobius movie.

Looks exactly like the Artbook from the second Limited Edition: http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/1030/hellsingultimate2abookcg4.jpg

[braves]

...I wasn't really sure where I should post this question and I didn't really want to start a new thread, so I'll ask it here. Does anyone know if the retail stores like Best Buy and FYE, etc. will be selling the Geneon re-releases?

[broodwars]

Looks good. I think, though, that I'll pick up the LE Steelbook w/o the art book. I remember being oddly dissapointed by the artbook for volume 2, so I have a feeling I'll just regret paying the extra cash for the artbook for volume 4. Then again, my obsessive-compulsive side could always win out, I suppose.

[Mazinkaizer]

I am glad that Hellsing Ultimate is finally continued ! :) i hope that Funi/Geneon will continue to release the remaining OVAs as they're released in Japan.

Hellsing Ultimate 4 is listed on Bestbuy's website so it is likely, but what's available online isn't always available in stores.

Official website (http://funimation.com/hellsing/) is now up...and don't forget to checkout Clip #4.

It looks great! I'm not into Hellsing Ultimate, but if I ever do, these steelbooks look great.

[Raye]

Anyone know who will be carrying the steelbook only version? Don't really care much for the extras that come with the series.

Judging by the 3 listings for Hellsing Ultimate v. 4 (all with various prices) on their site, I'd say definitely Best Buy.

Best Buy (B&M and Online) and TWEC stores (B&M) should be carrying this release.

EDIT: It's still unclear if BB will be carrying this release...

Thanks for the head's up guys. I kind of feared TWEC would be getting them... Every time I buy something from Suncoast, the same girl at the cashier pesters me to sign up for a Backstage Pass and offers me a year's subscription to a magazine I don't want. :P Guess I will wait for one of those B1G1 50% off to score this one.

Edit: Augh, and what do you know, the next Animania is two weeks premature. :(

That Kodocha banner completely ruins the mood. They could have at least put Basilisk, Higurashi or Samurai 7 banner up there instead. Despite ignoring the banner, nice dub for the trailers.

banner. Therefore you could reload to try and get something more fitting.

More appropriate banners with reload today. Black Lagoon, Afro Samurai, Karin, Genghis Khan. That's much better.

Actually Best Buy just had the exclusive steelbook only release for the 1st volume. All the rest have been exclusively with FYE/TWEC. I'm pretty sure that's right but it's been so long. But I know for a fact that FYE/TWEC had volumes 2 and 3 in the steelbook form because I picked up a few to sell during their Buy 1 Get 1 sale over a year ago. Never saw a Vol. 1 there, but I never saw Vol. 2 or 3 at Best Buy either.

[Fluffy]

Looks awesome. Dark and long.

[muhootsaver]

Pre-order complete. I'm still not too happy how they god rid of the OST extra. Oh well, at least I'm relieved that this series is getting a proper treatment that it deserves. I really do hope we don't miss out on Major figure on vol.5 LE though. B'cuz I will complain like a madman if they do. ^^

[powersurge]

Yay looks like rightstuf shipped mine a bit early. Now if only someone would pick up and finish Rozen Maiden.

fake edit: Woohoo just noticed on rightstuf it looks like Funi grabbed up Rozen Maiden too and vol. 2 of Traumend is coming next month!

That's good to hear that it's shipping out early. Hopefully DVD Pacific will ship soon...

I went priority mail from trsi.... I hope that means Monday or Tuesday I receive it. I can't wait...:catgirl:

[Cyber Inviso]

Nice! A steelcase and ab artbook that comes along with it, now that's a great collection.

[Talyn]

Received my copy today.... and enjoy everyone! Slipcover covers the book and steelcase and would protect the steelcase from any dings or scratches. Very well done and there is NO Funi logo.... I'm very pleased!

Yeah, there being a Funi-logo on anything really makes the worth of that item drop, don't it? Nice to see they didn't with this cover as it looks purely awesome!

[Danime]

I'm not sure if mine's been sent yet. I hope it was. And I hope when volume 5 comes out it will be more of the same and not "not-so-Funified".

It looks great...It should be shipping soon from DVD Pacific.

[bluesilo]

Mine was charged for DVD Pacific this morning. Can't wait to make room for this on my shelf

Wow, that looks awesome, just like vol. 2 LE did! Glad it looks 100% like the previous releases. You lucky bastard, you'd better watch it quick and have a serious blast...*jealous*...

Crap i've been sleeping on this, not even ordered yet. Maybe i'll spot it in stores though i guess it'll take a while. I need my Hellsing fix badly...Can't wait though, that's gonna be killer!

I watched it last night and posted a very small review of it in Region 1 discussion thread.... Ultimately... ha... it was awesome, but I would have preferred an animated preview for the next volume during the final credits to the beautiful orchestral score that the first three releases had.... this is a bit different though.... no spoilers from me.... :cool:

Nice to read that...(damn...if only I could afford all the LE... but now this is impossible...and later it will be too late...)

My copy arrived in the mail yesterday, but I've yet to take the shrinkwrap off (I still don't know what everything in there looks like, since I haven't looked at your photos either. ^_^; Thanks for the photos, though. ^_^;; ). I'll get around to opening it someday.

[WTK]

FYI...

The Hellsing Ultimate, Vol.4 (LE) advertised @ $27.99 is indeed the 2-Disc SteelBook with the Artbook. It looks like the only place that you can get the 2-Disc SteelBook without the Artbook is perhaps TWEC stores.

sweet.

I'll be checking FYE this weekend.

[Prede]

Pretty sick look cover if I do say so myself. Very nice

[slickwataris]

FYE does have the 2-disc w/o artbook. There was no sale sticker on it and I didn't want to spend $35.99 on it so I didn't buy it.

I'd always recommend taking a regular sticker product to the counter as you might get lucky. The lack of a sale sticker doesn't automatically say it's not on sale. Sure, often times the sticker price is what you're going to pay (before tax) but every now and then, you might be surprised.

If memory serves me correctly, it should be on sale for $29.99.

[Raye]

Hah. Went to my local Best Buy and they only had the standard edition available. The third volume's LE was STILL there after all this time. Afterwards, went to the FYE in town and no sign of anything but a few copies of the second volume steelbook. But now that you mention that the TWEC price for steelbook alone is $29.99, I think I'll just order my copy from TRSI... Guess I'll just sell the artbook later.

All of the previous SteelBook only volumes are re-released. There shouldn't be any remnant Geneon copies left before the closure. If there are copies, there are very few and far in between.

not worth it.

I went to Best Buy and got the artbook version. Two bucks cheaper.
