Man, I'd totally buy this if it was region free.

Or if Shout Factory has this in the pipeline.

Hopefully it's region free w/english subs. If it is, I'll be all over it. Are we sure the price is accurate though? Seems a little high...

PLEASE LET THIS BE LEGIT!!!!
:PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY: :PRAY:

This show, and Beast Wars Neo, has NEVER, NEVER recieved any official DVD release even in Japan! Only its movie got released on DVD, but not the show.

Both Second and Neo were given full complete release on VHS, but none on DVD.

This had me wondering for ages if there even existed digital copies of the Toei masters of these two series. And if none did exist, then there would be little to no hope for a DVD release of any kind for these two.

And since I've been dying to see these two shows (beyond episode 4 of Second), I really, REALLY, REALLY want this news to be legitimate.

I don't care how bad people have descibed these two shows being. Any and all talk by those who have seen them, be it postive comments or negative criticism, just makes me want to see them even more so I can judge them for myself. I am well aware of them being for younger audiences, so in no way am I expecting these to be "awesome" or "epic", but rather more like "funny" and "friendly".

I thought the price seemed awfully high as well, that converts to like 384.00 USD. That is what it is listed for on Rakuten though.

Well Rakuten is definitely a legit retailer, but beyond that who knows.

It does also say that it's 43 episodes on 8 discs.

Thinking about it, Beast Wars Second and Neo are, I'm pretty sure, the only TF series' that I've never seen.

This definitely gives me hope for a US release sometime, hopefully before the world ends. But holy crap :ic$:

I peed a little.

Oddly, the Netherlads and Japan have the same regional code, so no problems for me (yay). Now for some subs and the correct price and I'll be over the Moon (GET IT? GET IT?).

Even so, the general price for most 4-disc sets of TV shows and the like is around $35 to $40. I'd gladly pay $70-$75 max for this set, but I'm certain the price is definitely inaccurate.
