Do you think they will start to sell in stores the merchandise that was only available in the boxset thingy of WHR, if it becomes popular enough on Adult swim? I really want to see the WHR t-shirt and CD on the shelves along side the rest of the shirts and cd Very Happy

Count on the shirt and CD being released, but not the cell, and probably not the shot glass.

Well, with the LA tv version coming to sci-fi, who knows what will be made avalible from that. Sci-fi has lots of collectible geek catalog stuff.

Only way you can buy the stuff seperately out of the boxset would be off e-bay or something I think. The shirts should be easy to find though.

I'm not so optomistic. Ever since Bandai and Pioneer started doing those really cool 'limited editions' has anyone seen any of the contents for sale seperately?

I am sure that there will be WHR t-shirts, but I doubt it will be the same one. The whole lure of the 'limited edition' is that no one else can get them when they are gone.

But, again, no worries. I'm not in the US right now but I have seen all of WHR and heard very good things from Stateside. I'm sure there will be plenty of Otaku toys to come your way.

I want to know if Bandai plans on another limited edition set with the secont OST. And possibly the single CD that has the full versions of the OP and ED themes.

I've neither seen more than one limited edition for a series nor bundle any extra gear outside of the first dvd of said series. Be nice if the other soundtracks were a bundle option to buy with the subsequent releases though.

Well, Bandai did release Ltd. edition versions of .hack//SIGN DVDs 2-4 with the other soundtracks. I'm hoping they do the same with WHR, or at least release them individually later on.

That's cool - I did not know that. Yeah, I'd like the next soundtrack(s) too. I love Robin's theme from the first one.

for the soundtrack go to :
[This URL is a known Bootlegging website]

they have both soundtracks to the show and they are cheap.

for the shirt try ebay for now or find a pic of the shirt and make your own at cafepress.com or just get some of that iron on paper and make your own shirt .


or wait for them to release it which i bet they will.
Witch hunter robin will be so popular and they will try to make the most money they can make from the series. i think we will see shirts, games, cds, hats, action figures, etc.

The Cel you might want came with the regular version i got one in it and also in the second volume and hopefully in the 3rd on the 17th next month.

Well, I don't suggest buying the bootleg. Bandai, obviously, owns the rights to the WHR soundtrack, and at some point will release a series soundtrack which will probably only be $15 since it IS a domestic release.

It might be a while before that happens though. Possibly after the series has been completely released.
