I would LOVE this but that price makes it unavailable for me much like the Middle Earth set.

The package is initially awesome. I like this a lot more than horror busts. Speed's face is a bit weird, and I haven't watched this since I was a kid. I think I am already tired of looking at the bust though. I'm just not a bust guy. The continuation art on the 5 spines inside the bust are the best part of this, it looks like Speed, and I'd love to have that in digipack paper packaging, not jumbo plastic eco-packs or jumbo steelbooks.

That's the price I'd expect if this was Japanese, considered the best edition in terms of picture quality and sound, and out of print ebay pricing.

That's an awful lot of discs for 34 25-minute episodes on blu-ray. I know I'm not counting the movie or restart, whatever space that takes up.

Want but do not have room, if it was the matrix ship on the other hand.

It's too saturated nowadays. Too many collectors trying to sell their kidneys. I'd say about ~$150 for one. So you'd have to sell 2 in order to raise the funds
