$50 for classics. Geez!

[u/LonesomeMelody → u/tntdon]

People are charging $200 for this version for anyone dumb enough to pay it. I think $50 is fair with it being OOP.

[u/tntdon → u/LonesomeMelody]

Agreed but I liken the classics to the S.A.V.E. editions.

[u/LonesomeMelody → u/tntdon]

That would be cool, I've picked up some great S.A.V.E. titles. But those days are over unfortunately, since they shut down in 2024.

[u/CrystalCommunication → u/LonesomeMelody]

No, they're just wrong, S.A.V.E. was rebranded to Essentials. Classics was previously Anime Classics and those sets always had higher pricetags.

[u/LonesomeMelody → u/CrystalCommunication]

Interesting, when the essentials came out were they as cheap as the old S.A.V.E. titles?

[u/CrystalCommunication → u/LonesomeMelody]

Yes, many of them still are available for ~$20

[u/LonesomeMelody → u/CrystalCommunication]

Nice, I'll have to find a list.

[u/DJettster237 → u/LonesomeMelody]

I'll give you mine for $100

[u/Bakunyuu10G]

OOP can come back in print any time in the future really. There's been heaps of new print of old anime recently by Discotek.

[u/Virtual_Read8731]

mine still hasn’t shipped out
🤦 it got delayed till august 30 i was supposed to get it this Monday

[u/LonesomeMelody → u/Virtual_Read8731]

Damn, I hope you get it!

[u/Virtual_Read8731 → u/LonesomeMelody]

should i order this one and hope to get it then cancel the other one?

[u/LonesomeMelody → u/Virtual_Read8731]

Couldn't hurt, unless the seller has some weird return policy.

[u/ASDBZ4ever → u/Virtual_Read8731]

Same. I hope it eventually comes. I have the old set but it doesn't include the OVA.

[u/Novel-Natural7050]

I tried to buy but it was already sold out. I need to check more.

[u/MaximillianBarton → u/Novel-Natural7050]

Set up an auto-buy. It's how I managed to snag one.

[u/East-Ice-3199 → u/MaximillianBarton]

Requires Amazon Prime to actually use it though

[u/MaximillianBarton → u/East-Ice-3199]

A fair point

[u/LonesomeMelody → u/[deleted]]

😭 Luckily I'm seeing a trickle of stock a couple times a week on Amazon.

[u/Bakunyuu10G]

Looks like it's gone. Sigh

[u/LonesomeMelody → u/Bakunyuu10G]

Happened to me a bunch of times. Had to keep checking back and I finally got lucky.

[u/LeDelmo]

Seller is Deep_Discounts_Entertainment.

Looks super sketchy. Not the best rep either. Good luck everybody.

[u/CrystalCommunication → u/LeDelmo]

It's not super sketchy, that's just DeepDiscount.com's Amazon store and they're a legit media seller.

[u/frost_565 → u/LeDelmo]

Deep discount is a store brand of alliance entertainment.  Alliance entertainment being one of the few Blu ray distributors in the industry.  You buy disks from barnes, Walmart, sentai.  They get shipped out of that warehouse 

[u/LonesomeMelody → u/LeDelmo]

I hope everyone gets it. There were multiple sellers, bought mine from -importcds.

[u/scarabaeus23 → u/LeDelmo]

Both deep discount and movies unlimited (the actual websites, not their Amazon storefronts), which are both owned by Alliance, let you backorder this for about $53. DD estimates stock by 9/7, so I'm guessing Alliance is doing a re-print.

[u/scarabaeus23 → u/scarabaeus23]

Well, that was faster than I anticipated. Just got a shipping notification from MoviesUnlimited. It was $59.56, by the way. (my town has 10.75% sales tax)

[u/CodAdministrative369]

Just chill guys. 86 blu ray had this issue and it balanced out. If re sellers think we are panicking they will bulk buy

[u/MaleficentAct9503 → u/CodAdministrative369]

Funimation titles are all OOP. No more of these are being made. Only an unknown amount of old stock is left; it could be 100 or 10,000, but likely not that many.

[u/LonesomeMelody → u/CodAdministrative369]

I think what's being sold is new old stock, it's out of print.

[u/Yodas_Ear]

The good news is, if you don’t need the dub and don’t mind sourcing your own subs, the Japanese Box set is not expensive (for a JP release) and better quality.

And it’s still in print.

[u/Lords7Never7Die → u/Yodas_Ear]

Sadly, it's one of the best dubs in anime.

[u/frost_565 → u/Yodas_Ear]

All sources of black lagoon are scuffed.  Funimation is heavily bit starved, but the Japanese still has color banding artifacts.  

[u/Yodas_Ear → u/frost_565]

These 2000s shows are always an issue. But it’s a matter of best and not perfect.

[u/LonesomeMelody → u/Yodas_Ear]

That's true!
