Though this must be disappointing to those who bought all the other LE DVD volumes, at least this hasn't been abandoned completely.

So what extras would people be missing with the loss of the last LE?

I've been buying the LEs and very much enjoying the character CDs but at least the sixth volume will come out. I'd like to hear Bandai say "we're doing a reversible cover so at least LE buyers can have that last crazy crayon cover" but I'm not expecting that. I think Bandai wasted a lot of money with those shirts and should have left them out and charged a little less for the LEs. If that had happned, I think the LEs would have sold better.

Stupid Lucky Star otakus making the LEs even more expensive for the rest of us!
(Hmmm... where did I hear that argument before? )

I much prefer that Bandai have the regular edition covers available as a download as I prefer them over the crayon covers.

Well, they did release all of the Haruhi character CDs so hopefully they'll do the same for Lucky Star.

I think Bandai shouldn't have bothered with the LEs beyond V.1 and released the character CDs separately for those that would care to have them.

Well, they are going to finish the series, just the last disk isn't going to get a LE release.
That does really suck for all the people who were buying the show LE, as well, usually people who buy LE disks are kind of fanatical about their collections.
But a person can't really blame Bandai for this. There's no point in them releasing another LE set for a series that isn't selling as well as they hoped. It does suck for the fans, but at the same time, it would be worse for Bandai to get themselves into the red over this. --So says the person patiently waiting and hoping for the last disk for Welcome to the NHK!
Myself, I was just planning on getting the first disk LE just for the art box and then buying the rest normal, as I really have no need for T-shirts with Japanese schoolgirl bathing suits printed on them.

So who here that actually bought any of the LEs downloaded the songs first and has them anyway?
And who here has actually worn the shirts?
Translation: who is being a self-righteous "BUY AMERICAN DVDS OR ANIME WILL DIE punk, who is suffering from "I DLED AND MUST MAKE MY WORSHIPFUL KONATAXKAGAMI PAIRING PROFITABLE," and who is thinking that Kadokawa got it right by putting out English subs for Haruhi-chan?
I think it's worth note that since they did that, there are absolutely zero fansubs of those super-popular shows/subcultural bits/whatever the hell Churuya is.
(Note: I love Lucky Star and Haruhi, watched them on fansubs, and have no plans to buy them until boxsets happen for cheap. Deal with it.)

Damn, this sucks for me. As I have all of the LE DVD's and I was waiting for the final one. At least now it has been confirmed so I won't have to wait forever to get the last DVD, even if I've already seen the whole series even the OVA. However, with Lucky Star I'm most likey going to triple dip this one and get the Japanese DVD's too...

Then when no one buys them they won't release them at all

On one hand, dammit, now my LS collection is going to be all lopsided.
On the other hand, shelf space! Sweet precious shelf space!

That sucks if you were buying the LE's. I was just waiting for the complete set so I hope they still choose to do that. The prices were pretty high and I couldn't really find any sale good enough to justify buying them all when I could buy the merchandise I wanted separately for cheaper and save a lot of space by buying the complete set.
Maybe they should do premium half sets or something. You know half the series with some of the merchandise.

UGH. I am so pissed. I never liked Bandai in the first place, but I really liked Haruhi and Lucky Star so I was planning on buying all the LE. But now, I'm really angry.
The next time I buy a Bandai series probably will be very far off.
