Is Bebop Remix even going to have a box?

Ikari_Shinji · May 28th, 2006, 01:47 AM

I've purchased the first 4 volumes, I'm just wondering if maybe the last volume is going to come with a box, or did i get screwed over?

Does anyone know a site maybe where i can just buy the box seperate?

There is no box for Cowboy Bebop Remix and I don't think the chances of one being released are very big.

well, i'm not sure......but they did release an EVA platinum box. also, the X remix will have a box. so i would guess the chances are good that CB remix will get a box.

You do realize none of these releases are from the same company? Bebop isn't going to have a box. If it was, we'd have heard by now, as it would have been solicited with the last disc. And they never actually said it was going to have one. I think it was mentioned as a possiblity, depending on money, but never as a certainty. Of course, they may surprise us at the last minute, but I wouldn't count on it.

Bandai have stopped doing boxes on all their releases in the US.

Just look at Planetes - many were suprised it didn't get a box.

If you really want a Box then your have to import from Australia

<stops and thinks about it...>

You're right; Planetes didn't get a box. Hmm...

<checks>

It's not even going to GET a box? That's what I've been waiting for, too.

Hmm. I guess Planetes is one absolutely top-notch A-list title that I'm going to seriously reconsider whether I need to own or not. I rented it and have been waiting for a box set to be released, with intent to buy it immediately. It didn't even dawn on me that there might not BE one. Huh. So they've figured out that people won't buy the singles if they can wait for the box set, and thus have stopped announcing box sets to help push the singles? Nope, I don't like that one bit.

DESSLOCK TO INDUSTRY: If you think I'm buying anything at 'singles' price, you're sadly mistaken. Planetes is probably one of the top three series I've ever seen, but if you're not gonna sell it at a 'box set' price point, you can keep it. I rented it, I'm happy, keep your singles. There are plenty of other series upon which I can spend my money, thanks.

On-Topic: Feh, I have no need to upgrade to the Remix edition, and thus no need of a box.

Crawlspace · May 28th, 2006, 03:02 PM

^From what I recall, with only those few exceptions of odd repackagings a few years ago, Bandai's been releasing all of their complete collections in bricks. They're still releasing complete sets. Just not in boxes. That was what the original poster was asking about, I assume, since they already have the first 4 volumes. So, Desslok, you can still get a cheap complete collection. It'll just be in a brick. But it's not going to happen immediately. They want people to buy the singles for awhile, then when those have run dry after a year or two of the last one being released, then they put out the set.

Leader Desslock · May 28th, 2006, 03:21 PM

Yay! Good to hear. I can wait for the brick, just like I did for Big O.

funkatronic · May 28th, 2006, 05:31 PM

Not only has thier main replicator gone bye-bye(which hopefully they've fixed by now) but the company looks like its gone topsy turvy due to the merger with Namco. Most of thier releases have been barebones(save thier current trump card, Eureka seveN). No inserts. No box(for most) and the same trailers since last summer. They are just running on fumes at the moment, imho. Hope things get better

foolyMYcooly · May 28th, 2006, 05:49 PM

I don't think they need a box, the slipcovers look great and add protection, but like previously mentioned get the R4 Vol.1 w/box

Are all R4 dvds the same dimensions as R1 dvds, and do they all contain the same number of episodes as R1s?

Jeikobu · May 29th, 2006, 01:18 PM

Hopefully CB will get a box. I'll keep my hopes up. It would make prefect sense since there are alot of people like me I'm sure who want it boxed, and besides, it's one of the more successful anime in the US, so it could make them more money. I imagine they haven't announced one yet because they hope everyone will buy the barebones, then fork out more money to get the box when it's announced (if it is). What I would really love to see is an "Anime Legends" edition set, because it would make it much cheaper. They've already done it for series like Escaflowne and Wolf's Rain, so why not Bebop too?

Crawlspace · May 29th, 2006, 02:30 PM

^Not to say they won't ever put out a complete collection, but Bebop singles make much more money than Esca and Wolf's Rain. It's easily their most successful title currently. They're going to milk it for all it's worth. They could very well follow the Geneon model and put out a full priced set in a real box first, then hit the Anime Legends brick after. Or I could be completely wrong and the Remix singles are selling too poorly to warrent a box with the last volume. In that case, I'd expect a brick around Christmas time either this year or next.

Wasn't there a limited box set released at one point? I don't know if I'm thinking Bebop or another series.

Jeikobu · May 29th, 2006, 02:33 PM

Well, I figure I'll just be patient and wait for a box, and if nothing else, if I wait a long time and there's still no box and I lose patience, I can always just buy the barebones. ^^

The last DVD comes out in June and the price is $30 so no box and I don't see another entry for V.6 for $40 which is the standard price of DVD with box. If they are planning to release the last volume with the box they are late in announcing it. I don't see them releasing a box for the Remix with the last volume. And Bebop did have limited box set release. It came with a CD soundtrack.
