I think I will do the same. I really liked the movie. The cost is not really in question here.

Motherf.....

I just used my saved Bandai Points yesterday too.....

it's not all bad atleast, it's still only $20 with shipping.

While I didn't like the movie enough to rewatch it, let alone rebuy it, let alone on DVD only, that's nonetheless an impressive list of extras.

[The Great Bear]

I hope that it will be carried by other online retailers at some point, as I've never bought from the Bandai store and don't feel like doing so for just one disc.

I would like to pick this up for the new dub, but if not, I have already heard it before, and that's good enough. I have the ADV release, and that's all I really need.

Blu-ray would make a difference, but for a DVD, regardless of the extras, I'm not going to make any extra effort to acquire this.

I can give a few extra reasons to avoid their online store if you want.

There are definitely plenty of worries with past experiences here. The S/H and its tracking issues. Order status not updating correctly. I think I'm forgetting some other stuff too.

That's not inspiring me with confidence about ever purchasing from them direct.

That does sound worrying, but how worrying depends on the actual details in question. In other words, what the reasons are. As well as if they're common events or isolated incidents.

So far I've only ordered one item from them. The Lucky Star 6 Crayon Cover and that order went just fine. however that's just one order and it's for a single item that's essentially paper. So it really doesn't say much about them one way or another.


As for the release in question, I will likely be passing on it. It was a decent movie, but I don't feel like owning it. I have more important things to get. I just need to decide what order to get them in, when to get them, and how.
