I know it's not only Lucky Star that is this expensive but I still don't understand where the costs come from.
I thought about actually rewatching Lucky Star and seeing it in blu-ray would be amazing, but that is way over my budget.
This isn't the first time with english subtitles on a Blu-ray box by the way but it definitely is rare. I hope eventually we'll have all blu-ray releases with english subtitles on them .. There are so many fans of Anime all over the world that it makes no sense to keep all the good stuff to japanese only. |
This is the market value in Japan (where enough customers will cough up this amount for their favorite series). If it sells well - after the sales tale off I wouldn't be surprised if a second edition was repriced without the swag and marketed in the US.
