Where can I buy the second box of Kenshin? Kenshin Legend of Kyoto Premium Box. It seems to be back ordered everywhere.

You'll need to find stock out in the field, Media Blasters has indicated that this item will not be reprinted.

Idk, is your heart really set on the premium box? If it were me collecting Kenshin, I'd grab the economy boxes--they're cheaper, and some say that they're better-packaged (something about paper cases in the premium boxes). You might also check the used sections of Amazon, but beware the bootlegs.

The Bento box is easy to break and cardboard isn't the best thing to store DVDs in.

Yeah I know the boxes aren't that great, but I have the first and the third box, so I would like to complete it. Smile

Have you tried eBay? Beware of the bootlegs! They are all over the place!

eBay is where I got my Rurouni Kenshin Legend of Kyoto Premium Box. It was worth for me. Right now they have two auctions with the box you are searching. One item will end in three days and another in four. I am a self-proclaimed expert at spotting bootlegs on eBay. I can immediately tell if an item is a bootleg just without clicking on the title. Always look for a picture when you want to buy anime on eBay. If they have no idea what they are saying, chances are that it is a bootleg.

Do you care if the box is new or used? The two real boxes are used.

Good luck in your search and hope this helps!

OT - Sorry for highjacking thread

Anyway, the cases you´ve seen aren´t blue because this is the ¨old¨ release before Pioneer changed their name to Geneon. After the name change, the exact same Pioneer release was released as a ¨Geneon Signature Series¨ which has different DVD cases and ¨box¨. The blue box, is an actual box while the new ¨box¨ is what is reffered to as a ¨bailey box¨ which is a really thin clear plastic box with a paper inside that makes up the so called box art.

In other words, it´s the exact same release only the old one is an actual box and the cases don´t have those horrid ¨Geneon Signature Series¨ labels at the top of the case.

If you wish to continue this chat, please PM me so we can stop taking over this topic.
