malvin, good day to you! original voltes v dvd will be coming out in japan this year, on december 8. will you be able to bring this in? some online sites are already accepting preorders but only use EMS to ship internationally. i am afraid of EMS coz customs will charge me an arm and a leg. i was wondering if you were going to import these. i am interested. thanks! BTW, it retails for about 42,000 yen, tax included.

whoa! 42,000yen for DVD boxset of Voltes V?
excuse me, but not to be rude or anything... i'm just curious, guys. besides being an 'original' copy, what else is there with this boxset? featurettes? remaster? 5.1 surround? cool box art? slipcase edition? free figures?
can you please post the link so i can see it. thanks. ;D

i was curious about this dvd so i made a search and i found this users.animanga.com/voltesv/faq/index.html#dvd(warning: lots of pictures of other VoltesV stuff) so i guess its not much for 42000 yen.. i would really love to have original japanese DVDs but the thing is they are sooo expensive

i am betting there are some special features. there is cool box art and usually original super robot dvds have a booklet in it with art and info. i have the original of danguard ace and getter robo g and they both came with booklets with art and info.
42,000 yen for 7 DVDS comes out 6,000 yen per DVD, or about $26 apiece. thats the same average retail price for a single layer original region-1 anime DVD. considering the voltes v dvds are dual layer, i would say 42,000 yen is cheap!
ultra optimus, i am also short on cash at the moment, but i should be getting some money soon... will you and your friend be able to help me? then again if malvin can bring a set in for me, then i guess you won't have to...

this may be wishful thinking, but i heard voltes was originally supposed to be 52 episodes long. perhaps some episodes that were decided to be not included could be in this DVD as a bonus feature? the laserdisc had the commercials of the godaikin toy, maybe the soul of chogokin v5 has commercials and maybe it's in this set? again, im just wishing... there was even supposed to be an alternate ending for episode 40...

yup. but that still shaves Y10,000 from the price of cdjapan. if i buy from cdjapan, it's Y42,000 for the dvds themselves and then all the other stuff you mentioned will be added. cdjapan doesnt ship with other ways, they only use EMS and those customs guys charge a lot. what's the best way then? what would you recommend?

are you still going to have him buy for you in may? can you still help me out if i buy both voltes and daimos?
i know someone in japan who says he will keep an eye out for a set in the secondhand stores. he says it is really much cheaper in those stores and the longer you wait, the cheaper it gets, but i am afraid to risk waiting too long coz i am afraid no one will want to get rid of theirs.
