I didn't buy them.
Looking it up, the original retail price was $70 for the first 23 episodes of Classic on Bluray. I was looking at the limited edition that retailed at $80, so I stand corrected there. Granted, places like Amazon and RightStuff had them cheaper than that, but given all the controversy about them, I was kind of put off buying them.
Well I should've said moreso "where are you looking?" I never get anime at MSRP, due to prices like Rightstuf etc. with their ability to buy large amounts of bulk and charge a way cheaper price. Plus they came with pre-order goodies.
