Cowboy Bebop DVD availability....?

Roorii · 02-05-2012, 12:54 PM

Just a quick-Q, where's the best place to grab Anime Legends' Cowboy Bebop release? I see it going for like... 50 quid on eBay, which is disheartening. I ordered it on Sainsbury's Entertainment website (for an awesome £17.99), only to find the next day it was completely out of stock and was deleted from the system.
I've ordered it from TheHut for 5 pounds more, but I think it's gonna be the same story.
Where did you guys pick this one up, and is there anyone selling it for a decent price... where it's still in stock?

I got mine from amazon, but this is just before Beez stopped releasing anime. Unless someone else puts it out I wouldn't expect it to appear anywhere cheap to be honest.

If you see it at a vaguely reasonable price I wouldn't hesitate. Good luck!

Beez Entertainment did restock Cowboy Bebop to retailers a while back, but it sold like hot cakes once again (although I managed to nab a copy). Hopefully we'll be finding out a bit more about the company's plans going forward over the coming weeks, which might also clear up what's going to happen to stock of titles like this...

If it sold so well.... then surely they'd restock, right? I can't imagine them like wasting such a profitable opportunity. Anywhere I should stay tuned to, to find out more?

Well, given that Beez Entertainment effectively doesn't exist any more, things are effectively in limbo until we get a proper explanation of what their plans are moving forward.

@Roorii If you're planning on going to the London Expo, you may find a copy there!

I think MVM we're selling copies on their stand in Telford...

DustyShinigami · 02-05-2012, 01:46 PM

It looks like zavvi have it for £21.95

It takes an additional 3 days, but that's better than weeks/months!

Thanks for the search! I've ordered from TheHut, as I said, who have the same price, and availability. If I end up getting let down by them, as I was by Sainsburys, I'll give Zavvi a shot!

I dunno if I'll be going this year, depends on whether I get a summer job!

Whoops. Sorry, I didn't notice that...

Well.. Andrew has said that Kaze taking over the Beez library would be nice (or something along those lines) and he's been hinting about Code Geass BDs recently so we never know...

Zavvi and The Hut are owned by the same company, it is possible they have the same stock so it may not matter which one you get it from, I expect either they both have it or neither of them do. Hopefully they have some in a warehouse somewhere!

I nearly bought this to replace my singles but there were so many other Anime Legends boxsets I wanted to buy before they got hard to get that I decided against it - regretting it now!

Ross · 02-05-2012, 07:59 PM

To be honest I'm surprised to see it anywhere outside of ebay at the moment.

ShinAsura · 02-05-2012, 08:42 PM

I had to get my copy from ebay. Everywhere else was sold out. Best of luck getting a copy

Just checked actually. None on ebay either :/ Not unless you get it from the states

Roorii · 06-05-2012, 07:23 PM

Still not heard a thing since, I'm guessing it's the same situation. Ah well, more money for my to buy the missing Dragon Boxes, I suppose.

You could always get a copy of the superior Samurai Champloo instead
