I'm a little confused. It says Director's Cut, but the original episodes were 18min each I believe which works out to 72min for the whole shebang while RS is listing it at 70min. So where's the extra footage or is it a typo at RightStuf's page?
I'm interested, but getting extras that aren't translated is like getting teased with a desert dish after dinner and then being told you can only look at it not consume it. Does this mean that besides the on disk extras the staff interviews in the 108pg booklet also wont be translated? I'm getting irritated now. I wonder if the regular edition Blu-ray has subs and dub? If it does maybe its worth importing from Japan? |

For the cheaper, standard edition (http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B01EHI4MOK), Google translates some of the disc info as: "Language: Japanese, English Subtitles: Japanese, French, Chinese, English, Korean" |

I'll buy it because I'm a glutton for punishment but Rightstuf really needs to remember that Gundam fans for this type of thing tend to be older or more dedicated so translating that bonus material would be incredibly valuable to many of them.
It doesn't have to be even all that fancy. If they'd be willing to make a pamphlet with everything translated and typed out, that would be just fine. You just send it with every order made through their company. Hell, run a Kickstarter for the cost of translating the bonus materials. I'll drop extra money for that content. |

Yeah, that's annoying. I really wish they would translate the extra content. That's the kind of stuff that's invaluable to me.
It does. It's the same disc. Amazon Japan and the Bandai website list it as such, and WTK confirmed it. |

18min includes the ending. Without it, every episode is 16min long, so for 4 episodes, it would be 64min. Seems like we'll be getting at best 6min of extra footage. |

Damn that's an awful lot of money for very little then again it is Japan and even with an English dub including it's still not enough to get me to buy the limited edition however I might be inclined to get the standard edition as long as I don't have to pay too much on importation.

When Rightstuf releases this in North America in a year or so, it'll probably still MSRP at $50. Which kinda sucks. Japan really wants to push these prices into North America to protect against reverse importing. But its soooooo backasswords. Its a detriment to the product. Which can carry itself, if the price is right.

Woah, that's great.
Damn, that price...I dunno if I can afford it. Also yeah, at that price atleast have the decency to commission subs for the extras too.
Me too, about time we got a new full series dubbed. The couple of revealed cast is really nice too. But yeah, soon we'll be through the whole first half of 2016. |

Yeah, it's steep - but pretty much in line with what you would import a Blu from Japan for. I just picked up the Yamato 2199 discs that voyager didn't release in the states and they were running me just slightly south of that price. |

If you live in the US and get this from Amazon Japan, you will only need to pay 1200 yen for shipping. No importation taxes or anything like that. The total will run you like $55 or so. Not a terrible deal. Mostly equivalent to AoA movie prices. |

Thanks. Mind officially blown. I'm gonna blow so much money on imports.

As much as I appreciate the effort by Rightstuf I think I'll just stick to getting the standard blu ray edition (assuming it has the english dub as well).
Unicorn pushed me to the limit of how much I'm willing to spend on a one hour production and I don't think I can spend much more no matter how many extras they cram in. |

Another insultingly overpriced release without translated extras from Sunrise.
Release the SE BD here and maybe we'll talk. Otherwise, fudge you.

Real shame that Thunderbolt episodes are really only 15 minutes of actual content each, this is literally the best looking Gundam since 0083, and one of the best attempts at high level of detail and shading I've seen in a stupid long time.
