acbc Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Hi everyone, Need some advice on Macross Mini Set Box collection. Previously, I bought a Mini Box Set 1 (AnimEigo version) and now going to complete the collection. But today while checking in Amazon.com, there is a another version of the Mini Box Set by Koch Vision Entertai. Anyone knows whether this is the same version as the AnimEigo? If not, is it good? I am trying to locate an online DVD store who can ship to Malaysia. Fortunately, Amazon does ship to Malaysia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Payne Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 (edited) Most likely not. AnimEigo would get in serious hot water if they sublicenced the Macross footage to anyone else without Sauron--er, I mean Harmony Gold's permission. AFAIK, any other set other than the Japanese relase and the AnimEigo R1 release is a bootleg. As for DVD stores, there should be some...just keep searching the web. If worst comes to worst, you can even try e-Bay. Edited December 17, 2003 by Pat Payne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 If it doesn't say Animeigo, with their black packaging. It's a boot (or RT). Sauron is too good a term for HG. POFCWHB is the term. I leave it to you to figure out this acronym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewilen Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 AFAIK, any other set other than the Japanese relase and the AnimEigo R1 release is a bootleg. Not necessarily. It could be a different edition entirely. It seems that there is at least one legitimate Korean release, for example, which somehow is licensed directly by Tatsunoko instead of going through HG. But what our friend seems to be looking at is a case of a misleading entry at Amazon. If you go to http://www.kochint.com/ and search on Macross, you'll see that they list the Animeigo set in their catalog. Koch is a distributor, not a production house, but somehow Amazon put their name into the wrong field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Koch is indeed distributing for AnimEigo now (that's why you can actually find some of their stuff in stores now). Exactly the same stuff, just under a wider distribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking Worthless Human Beings for the last three. The rest was accurate. I don't even know if that was a good way to describe HG, I will just stick with Steaming Pile of Crap.
