Concerning Macross Zero,
Apparently there are at least 4 different Bootleg versions out there:
1. MACROSS ZERO - Perfect Collection Episodes (1-5) (2-DISC EDITION)

Now I’m very confused!
Which one should I get?
As for Macross DYRL "Perfect Edition", I was told at Macross World forums that there are two versions, the "Perfect Edition by FX" which is supposed to have excellent video/audio quality & perfectly translated English subtitles and the standard Edition not marked by "FX", which is supposed to be of poorer video/audio quality and subs titles.
I download the fan-sub version of Macross DYRL & Zero from torrent and they have excellent Video/Audio & sub quality, but the sub fonts are rather small and not viewable when projected on my 21” TV via TV-Out.
I was after the Perfect Edition by FX, but now I really don’t know which one I should get?
I was also looking for RahXephon CD soundtrack 1 & 2.
Are these two Japanese import CDs or domestic US made CDs?
The reason I ask is because here, they’re labelled as US CDs:

Where as here, they're mentioned as import Japanese:

The price is also quite low ($8.50)
So, how reliable is this place?

I ordered Macross II soundtrack from here for 15$, as well as Ninja Scroll OST CD for 15$

But I really don't know if they're bootlegs or not?
Really, how could you distinguish if a soundtrack CD is bootleg, I only know of some basic rules / tips of spotting a bootleg DVD, but I was not aware of bootleg CDs!
Macross II CD, Ninja Scroll CD & RahXephon CD 1-2 are all sold under 30$ at
http://www.rightstuf.com for 15$ so they could also pass for bootlegs based on the “low price” criteria.
This entire bootleg thing is getting rather tiresome!
Thanks in advance.
