The vast majority of film buffs I know who aren't fans dismiss the series outside of 54 and Shin. The sequels still don't get the recognition they (well, some) deserve, mostly because film-buffs assume everything after 54 spawned the perception the genre has and because most fans just can't be taken seriously. And as far as I know, the sequels are pretty much ignored in Japanese film circles as well, which just makes people say "see, even Japan doesn't care." If anybody is gonna buy a hypothetical box set, it's gonna be hardcore Godzilla fans, Criterion collectors, and film buffs who are nostalgic for the likes of Godzilla vs Megalon.
