Like I said before, considering Keith from Manga said Macross 7 would require four companies for four episodes, because the music was so expensive, I wonder if FUNimation will be stuck with similar limited options as GKids for licensing more Macross.

My internet was down so I missed out on ordering this massive set. I maybe a little grateful because at $300 ($25 shipping) it was stretching the limits of what I'm normally willing to pay for anime. I'm hoping they announce a regular Limited Edition with the original dub included. I expect it to have the original dub and a standard release without it. If for some crazy reason it doesn't include the original dub, then I'll just stick with my Platinum DVD thinpak, because I'm not listening to that Netflix dub again.

Pre-ordered the NGE collector's edition on RightStuf for $175. I still think its pricey for what you are getting, but I do want the original dub. I haven't decided yet if I should get rid of my Platinum Thinpak DVD set, which contains Fly me to the Moon and the new BDs don't.

Its the Director's Cut version:

I think the original versions are only available on the JPN BD as extras, IIRC.
