I was going to buy the entire scrapped princess series for $30 from toysnjoys.net when I realized it was a bootleg(I saw in a thread how to recognize a bootleg and realized my inuyasha box set is one.... oops)! Stupid me for not realizing it sooner! I was really sad because I knew it would take me months to save up for each individual dvd, and then i went to amazon to see how much each one was and I found this!
http://www.amazon.com/Scrapped-Princess-Legends-Complete-Collection/dp/B000M5KA0I/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-2705621-4293730?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1173841201&sr=8-1
I am sooooo getting this when i can afford it! I wonder what extras it has.
Now if only they would make one for Full Metal Alchemist...(also realized the 70 dollar boxset from TNJ was a bootleg >_<)

Hey wow I'm getting that too. (Actually it's been shipped to me as I type this.) That's also the exacpt same price I payed at a different place (go Amazon!).
I'm gonna guess though that there aren't any extras/bonus features. Usually when they make box sets they rip out all the extras other then trailers. :\ Although this is Anime Legends we are talking about not ADV so who knows? I'll let you know once I have it though for sure.

You can still find good non-Bootlegged boxsets under $30 if you look in the right places.My Shrine of the Morning Mist boxset only cost me a total of $29.96 and yes it is legit as I got it from Rightstuf.

Hey, only 37 plus shipping from Amazon? If I ever have money again, I'm definitely looking into that. XD The best way to watch anime is through buying the entire series in thinpak, I've found. XD Thanks for pointing that out!

Awesome! I wanted to see this. I'll probably get this when I have the moolah. (Of course, I'm also looking at the Outlaw Star and Full Metal Panic box sets.)
Too bad about the bootleg. I've been fooled by those before. I'm more careful now, though. Thankfully, the real anime companies have been coming out with better deals such as this.

Hey everyone! Just thought I would let you know that there are pretty much NO bonus features on this thing. (Well it's a thinpak so that's to be expected.) I just got mine in the mail today, and well I haven't had a chance to watch it, according to the back the "DVD extras" are textless openings and endings. So don't buy this if you are expecting to get all kinds of extra bonus stuff.
Oh and for some random info according to the box it's for ages 13 and up.

XD Fine by me. Extras generally tend to bore me, and buying anime with the full extra features is too expensive anyways. XD Now, all I need is to come up with the money to pay for the bare-bones version. XD

Don't worry, the individual discs didn't have anything either! If I woulda known I would've of waited. But yeah, Scrapped Princess, good bang for your buck. Scores pretty decent marks across the bored, and its a great one to watch with friends as its chock full of cool of stuff but nothing to make anyone squeam.

With an amazing dub, too -- for those so inclined.

Yeah, the dub was pretty good. The core three of Shannon, Winnia and Rachel were really great, especially Rachel I think, though anything with Crispin Freeman in it is bound to have something good.

Humm... donno. XD I got it from Animenation though and I think the big anime stores release stuff before the normal stores like Amazon.com.
In terms of extras, now that I think about it Bandai is not like ADV where they pile on the extras for the normal discs and then take them all off for the thinpak. That is kind of wierd though that they didn't have ANY extras on the normal DVDs. Well they did have those character models you could get with them though...
Actually personally I wasn't a fan of the dub. Pacifica sounded way to old while Raquel sounded way too young. The voice acting in terms of acting ability was excellent. In term of being the right voices for the characters though I didn't like it that much. But then again I have watch the sub more then once and I did a fandub of part of the first episode so I'm probably biased.

Really? I'm pretty critical of dubs so I usually don't watch them unless I get a feel its gonna be good. I find it funny you thought of Pacifica as too old cause I figured you were gonna say to young and whiny. While Raquel I thought sounded sorta've like a young mother, which worked for me cause she was taking care of Pacifica. Different strokes I guess..........
