Does anyone know if Synch-Point every came out with a FLCL package with all three DVDs in one. Because there is one being sold on ebay, it says not bootlegged on the description and it is R1. However, everywhere I look all I can find any bundle package for FLCL. Therefore, I was wondering if it is Bootlegged or not?

I'm guessing it's a bootleg. It should have a picture of the Vol.3 cover with Naota standing on the front with the guitar and white background behind him.

I used to have it... Embarassed.

No they didn't, they did come out with a box that came with Vol 3, but not a box with all discs.

When they say not bootleg, they don't mean those homemade booleg dvd. HK Bootleg are done professionally (nice label, box)that it can fool many people into believe they're not bootleg.

What about the possibility of someone buying all 3 DVDs (with box), and then selling it on ebay as 3 DVDs + Box?

If it was "3 DVDs + Box, factory sealed" then it'd be a bootleg.. but if it was anything else, it'd be hard to tell.

That actually looks like it might be legit. It doesn't say it's a box set, but a set of all three individual discs in their cases factory sealed. Hell, even the covers look legit, at least the thumbnails do.

To me it appears to be legit. Usually on bootleg covers they don't have the little dvd symbol; but they could, considering bootlegs are becoming more identical to legit. Also, its claimed to be a R1 and he states it is not a HK. If it is a HK you can take him to court for not providing what he has stated. I don't know if all that is neccesary but its up to you. But I am pretty sure it is not a bootleg.

Yes, this looks legit -- the individual above is selling all 3 DVDs as a single lot. The important sentence is: "This is the official US Region1 Vol1-3 DVD's released by Synch-Point, in their original cases with inserts." (emphasis added)

Assuming the seller is being honest, then it's perfectly legitimate.

Yup. That's legit. I've bought from that seller before. I got Witch Hunter Robin LE Vol.1 from him/her. Go for it if you have the money Wink.
