You actually managed to find a complete set of Tekkaman Blade? The original 46 episodes or Tekkaman Blade 2?

Tasoth · Post by **Tasoth** » 2004-04-30 03:45pm

Tekkaman Blade Perfect Collection. It's the TV series and Seven Discs long.

EDIT: It's fourty Nine episodes.

How did you get the Wolf's Rain boxset so early? How much did it cost? Is there any chance you could get another one?

It's the japanese version I assume and its the Comicon.

How much did it cost?

Fifty bucks

Is there any chance you could get another one?

Sadly, no. I work close all weekend so my friend can have off and go to the Comicon all weekend. Jobs are grand.

gah. lucky bastard. i don't suppose you happen to know whose releasing that set? or if it's available in the states? i've been wanting to get my hands on one for years.

Are you sure it isn't a bootleg? Japanese DVDs are ungodly expensive, a whole box set would never got for only 50 bucks.

Its a bootleg methinks.

Domestic release isn't till June:

And there is no Japanese box set as far as I can see. www.cdjapan.com lists 10 individual DVD's, but no box.

Does it have subs? If so, then its certainly a booteleg. None of the R2's have them.

Nice haul, you bastard. BAAF's cancelled this year because of the Republican National Convention

Anyway, sounds like you got some good stuff. Enjoy Iria; it's a very cool anime.

Bootleg? FAH! Please. It has the same plastic slip that my brothers Hellsing complete set has, my friends RaXephon complete set and his Witch Hunter Robin. I think it lacks dubs. The discs even have the pretty art on them. Whoooo! As for Tekkaman Blade, I have no clue who released it, but I'll get back to you on it.

I don't know about the Tekkaman Blade set, but the other sets you have mentioned are all bootlegs for certain, except for maybe the Hellsing one. Wolf's Rain, RahXephon, and Witch Hunter Robin all have not yet been released as complete sets with subtitles yet.

Oddly, I have a feeling they're imported. And by box sets, I mean the complete sets, not sure if thats throwing anyone off.

EDIT: My borther has this, only in a flip out version without the box
RahXephon set my friend has and I have sitting at my house.
Witch Hunter Robin Complete set and Wolf's Rain complete set on the same list. Huzzah!

That Hellsing box is the only legit one box. As far as I can see, there was never a box released in Japan, so any other is likely a bootleg.

The Witch Hunter Robin one is a bootleg, so is the Rahxephon one.
