Speed Grapher LE Release Questions

[Smith]

In noticing that Speed Grapher DVD#2 has a regular edition and a LE edition, I'm curious if the artbox that comes with LE#1 requires that I buy LE's of all subsequent volumes of Speed Grapher to fit in the artbox? Also, from looking at AN's listing of SG LE #2, it seems the LE is a special slipcover with a very different DVD cover than the regular edition. Are there any other special LE extras other than the slipcover??
Many thanks.

The artbox WILL hold 6 regular size dvd cases as far as width and depth is concerned, but a regular dvd case's height is sleightly taller than the LE packaging. When you put 6 regular dvd's in the artbox, the top half does not close flushly against the bottom half, there will be about an 8th of an inch space between the two halves (not very noticable though, so I wouldn't think it a big deal). I should be picking up my LE v2 today, so I'll get back to you on the packaging and extras if someone else hasn't by than.

I'm buying rest of the regular volumes and it's just like Sonryu said. You don't even notice the difference when you close the box anyways. Unless you go up real close and inspect the thing.

Ok, got my LE v2. It comes with more picture cards and another character designs booklet, like the first volume. The outer slipcase has the same images as the regular edition, but as with the first volume, the foldout case within features different artwork throughout. FUNi is probably trying to use all of the R2 artwork, since they had 12 volumes to our 6.

I'm gettin the LEs, but I really don't understand what makes them so special. All they have is card board packing instead of an Amaray case.

^You forgot the art cards.

I got three art cards with mine, and they sucked. I wanted to get Kagura and Saiga. But instead, I got the mother, some weird dude and some idiotic alien-like sculpture pic....weird.

It also comes with a 12-page booklet that doesn't come with the regular edition. All together, the special edition has:

Art cards
a unique box that contains more of the R2 artwork
a 12 page booklet.

Kagura and Saiga will surely be in one of the other volumes.

I didn't get a 12 page booklet with Vol 2...

I didn't get a 12 page booklet with Vol 2...Then I guess yours was mispackaged... might want to contact FUNi about that.

I got my 12 page booklet. ^_^
