total: 21,200 Yen + Factor in shipping costs for each volume as they were released
DVD-Boxset: 19,000 Yen
Blu-ray: 15,000 Yen

Just intended to do a spot check because muhootsaver keeps bitching about it but ended up watching the entire series. Maybe it's because I'm now viewing it on a 52" Samsung LCD instead of my old 34" Sony Wega but I seemed to be more aware of some graphical nuances that I missed in previous experiences. Sure the picture gets soft at times but overall it met my expectations for an upscale and I'm happy enough with it.

I actually liked the packaging because it's very similar to the 1st pressings of the original R2 DVD release which I still own. Sure it would have been great if there was a nice booklet instead of the foldout but I don't have any regrets purchasing the set.
For the record, I only bitched about it ONCE(in this thread). I'm not complaining about the price. I'm just pointing out that it's not one cour but 6 episodes.

About the video quality and packaging, I'm glad that you don't regret buying the set, but I personally think FLCL BD-BOX deserves that bitching.
