[Dead]

oh so its not complete

 

[Matlock]

They're only counting the Japanese versions. And Raymond Burr is missing!

 

[Dead]

what a sham, a complete box would include everything, including the atrocities. You cant erace the past Toho, Godzilla 1998 will live on and theres nothing you can do to stop it!

 

[Pattergen]

oh so its not complete

:lol

 

[MoxManiac]

The american movie is on there.

Toho announced an amazing DVD box set of every Godzilla film called Godzilla Final Box. The inital set will consist of all 27 Godzilla films with a place for Godzilla Final Wars when released next summer, and 3 bonus DVDs including the American version of Godzilla, King of the Monsters, Legend of Godzilla, and Godzilla Fantasia. Also included is a pictorial booklet covering 50 years of Godzilla, poster repros, and some kind of vinyl Godzilla head sculpted Fuyuki Shinada of GMK fame. The set will cost 95,000 yen or 99,750 with tax. Discs are region 2 and will not likely have Engish subtitles. Pre-order deadline for Godzilla Final Box is on November 3, 2004 with the last deadine on January 11th, 2005 with a sale date of April 22, 2005. Toho's Godzilla website suggests the first deadline to make sure you are able to secure a set. More information on pre-ordering when available, probably by fall.

did you say $1000? This shit isn't even worth $100.. is that a typo?

 

[Dead]

did you say $1000? This shit isn't even worth $100.. is that a typo?

I guess youre unfamiliar with just how much R2 DVDs can cost. 1000 dollars for a set this big seems pretty cheap when you see how much many other Japanese DVDs go for

 

[Semjaza Azazel]

Isn't that usually figuring import prices though? This sounds as if it's the standard price in Japan. 95,000 yen...

There's not even anything cool about the packaging...

 

[sc0la]

I just watched the Raymond Burr godzilla this afternoon, was he only in the US version??

I am so confused now.

 

[Dead]

I just watched the Raymond Burr godzilla this afternoon, was he only in the US version??

yep

 

[sc0la]

Was he simply cut in for the US release (to make it more palatable to a western audience I assume), or was other stuff cut out?

edit: Thanks btw

 

[BlackMage]

I guess youre unfamiliar with just how much R2 DVDs can cost. 1000 dollars for a set this big seems pretty cheap when you see how much many other Japanese DVDs go for

so is it $1000 to import it (waste of fucking money) or $1000 dollars in japan (huge waste of fucking money)?

 

[Dead]

so is it $1000 to import it (waste of fucking money) or $1000 dollars in japan (huge waste of fucking money)?

guessing its both...

Was he simply cut in for the US release (to make it more palatable to a western audience I assume)

dont remember all the details but that sounds about right,

 

[Warm Machine]

This set is raping my childhood!!!

If you're talking about Japanese DVDs, then no, it's not because importing is factored in. A typical DVD costs $30 (budget price) to $60 on Japanese store shelves.

Since this is 27 movies, plus 3 DVDs, $1000 sounds just about right for what the cost would come to on store shelves over there. In fact, that divides out to each DVD having a budget price.

 

[MetatronM]

Since they specifically mention the 5% Japanese consumption tax, this is the price for Japan.

 

[Matlock]

" The Japanese version of the film received an Japanese Academy Award nomination for Best Picture, but lost to Shichinin no samurai (1954). The film did win the award for Best Special Effects. It is the only Godzilla movie to receive a nomination for Best Picture."

It got screwed!

 

[teepo]

oh heaven

!!!!!

not fair

 

[shuri]

I bought Giants Monster all Attack for 9$ the other day, japanese version too. I dont know where you guys buy your asian dvds, but damn.

Oh yeah and the dvd is legit

 

[BlackMage]

Don't take that tone with me, mister!

 

[Manabanana]

*Shakes head*


I'm buying it...I'm so fucking stupid. I could go to Japan for this much. I'm buying it.

Before you buy it, ask youself, "Am I ever going to watch 31 Godzilla movies?"

 

[Greenpanda]

You've got to be kidding me.

(I realize you aren't )

 

[Meier]

Consider that the GITS 2 5-disc boxset will cost 49800 yen... which is about $450.

 

[distantmantra]

You've got to be kidding me.

(I realize you aren't )

Nope, DVDs are obscenely expensive in Japan. Over on the Anime on DVD boards, it's pretty sad/amazing how much people spend on R2 anime ($60 for 2 episodes!).

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

Was he simply cut in for the US release (to make it more palatable to a western audience I assume), or was other stuff cut out?

I believe stuff was removed as well. There was a story at CNN.com a few months back about how a new release of Godzilla with the original footage and subtitles would be more serious and include more subplots.

 

[Blinky]

Jesus. This thing costs more than my car did (800 for an 86 BMW mothas). But, this is probably the coolest set ever. For I love Godzilla...

But no way.

 

[Patrick Klepek]

that'd be awesome to own -- maybe someday.
