>That will be $90 plus tip>Noone is buying it? See we told you there is no demand for gundam physical copies!
>>23674654I preordered it though
>>23674654>Free acrylic panel Do people really go for this cheap shit?
>>23674694it's the most common type of anime merchandise. It's such a normal thing in Japan, and outside japan, anime cons are covered with them from both official vendors and also artist alley.
>>23674694very popular with the girls, which I know is a foreign concept for you anon, has been keeping the mecha industry afloat whenever they flock to it
I'm thinking about collecting Gundam blu rays, did anything else get a 4k release?
>>23674775>I'm thinking about collecting Gundam blu rays,LOL. good fucking luck. They're all OOP with second hand prices being in the hundreds
>>23674775The original movie trilogy, hathaway, and doan's island i think
>>23674775Never a better time to jump in, dear collector! Many bargains to be had~!
>>23674789I only had maybe 2-3 series left to grab before I was done with my Gundam collection forever, since the last decade has shown there will never be anything buy-worthy again in my lifetime. But then somehow the worst of all the western anime companies murdered almost all the others. Oh well, that's what I get for buying shit on a whim once every few years
>>23674694Cheaper than a full 3D figure or model kit, but more expensive than buying a printed image on high-quality paper.
>>23674654I bought it. Fuck off, fake fan.
>>23674654Blame the fat orange gopher in the white house for bankrupting America with his useless tariffs.
>>23675004fuck off its normal price for a 4k BD show
>>23675014Except it's not
>>23674945I really don't get how it came to this. I know streaming services want to push their service but fuck me sideways, there's a demand for one of the most mainstream series to have a physical release, this isn't some random ass obscure ova.
>>23674654Is this an actual 4K scan of the original 35mm film? Or did Bandai cheap out and do something like a 2K scan and then upscale it?>>23675073Unfortunately the reality is that sales of physical discs have been on the decline the last 10 to 15 years. The decline started in the early to mid 2010s when Netflix got popular. The average consumers "movie budget" (the money they used to spend on buying physical discs) just went to paying for streaming subscriptions now. Because of that, production runs of physical discs have gotten smaller and smaller. Consequently, the price has gone up. Some stores don't even sell Blu-ray anymore (like Best Buy), or drastically shrunk down their movie sections (Target and Walmart) to make room for other electronics that we'll better.
>>23674789>>23674880I'm not American, the price ranges are humane in my country>>23674842thanks
this is interesting, it's just the JP release. CR didn't want to spend money creating a different release to include the English audio dub.
>>23674654>ImportThis is just the set up to get people to double dip a domestic release with the English dub next year.>>23674775Most movies, besides the 0083 and G Reco recaps, have 4k releases. Also the Thunderbolt OVAs.>>23674880I feel like I'm losing money not archiving gundam dubs after seeing this.>>23675045If you imported media, you'd know blurays have a 0% duty rate. It's expensive because Bandai knows collectors will buy it, period.
>>23675475Truth be told, I scanned all of the case artwork, disk artworks and made copies of the disks contents to have the means to clone my collection if I ever want a mass payout from selling my collection. Considering how much is being asked for Re:Rise there, you can just get the Japanese Compact version for about 150$ for the whole series. It is almost 1 for 1 with the English release.
>>23674789You can just get the older series via UC libraries, and newer series aren't even that expensive. They all come with eng, jp, cn, etc subs. Your argument is moot
>>23675475
>>23675475Wrong. You're still paying duty rates on Blu-ray, sorry.
