Nice! Love this series, but other than the original I've only ever picked up bootleg versions.

But God I hate the "Ringu" transliteration.

Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

Now, if we could just get a boxed set of The Ring and The Ring 2, that'd be great! We'd have both the Japanese and the American versions!

Nevertheless, I'd like to buy this series too, just to see what it's like. From what I've heard about it, I'm sure that I won't be disappointed.

After all, I've got the Japanese film Pulse and the American Pulse trilogy and I liked both of them. So why not this one?

I just may not buy this set after all.

I mean, the price is a little over $99.00! I couldn't afford that if I tried to get it on my own. The way I figure it, that set's worth at least a little over $50.00!

C'mon, Arrow Video U.S., give me a break, will you? Not everyone can get that kind of money in a matter of days, nor do they have the ability to do so. The only way that I could possibly get that set in a first pressing is as a birthday or Christmas present, and none of my friends or relatives are going to do it, nor would I even think of asking them to do so myself - the rules are they have to ask me if I want anything; I can't ask them myself, because my parents think, for whatever reason, that that's rude.

Barnes and Noble is having a 50% off sale, and I believe this set is only $49.99 there.
GODZILLA BOX

Thanks for the info! When did the sale start and how long will it run for?
