The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Blu-ray Full & Lenticular Slipboxes) (The Blu Collection) [Korea]
- Thread starter tridon
- Start date
May be the title is more famous than we thought. In which case, many of us who are waiting for it to come back in stock are screwed. I'm not gonna pay $100+ for this though. I'm also not settling for second "plain" edition 
I suppose you just have to consider the fact that the director Mamoru Hosoda certainly has a huge following and is considered by some (if not many) to be a kind of successor to Hayao Miyazaki. Personally I don't really see the connection as strong in their styles but of course people are always keen to perpetuate this kind of status when one mythic figure steps down.
Plus anime fans are rabid when it comes to collecting.
Hope you guys can get one without that price tag though.

The primary factor for this release's popularity (beyond the nice packaging and the fact that it's a good movie by a prominent director) is that it's the only Region-A release with English subtitles for this movie currently available, as the US release from Bandai Entertainment has been OOP for a couple years now and goes for $125+ on eBay. The only other currently available English-language releases (UK/AU) are locked to Region-B, and not everybody Stateside has a region-free player.
But if you don't want to pay $100+ for the LE or "settle" for a regular edition, then I wish you good hunting...
I know. I had no idea about the popularity when the pre-order went live.
It printed on the disc that its region A only, but it plays just fine on my UK PAL blu ray player.
@harry Thanks for the tag buddy! I torn back and forth because I wanted the Lenti 
Thanks for the tag @severo. All sold out now, but I wanted the lenti so I might have not bought it at that price. It is quite expensive if you're not in the USA.
huh? somebody deleted my yesterday's post? (between #128 and #129)... why??

well, if this here is not the correct thread to give this kind of back in stock update, then the "steelbook price drop thread" is not either (for a slipcover).

I was contemplating about that too. But the thing is, this is a Scanavo case full slip. GotF was a Digipack. Only the front art would match. One will be thicker and other will be thinner on the spine.Imo, the full slip is way better and it also fits in the theme design of The Blu Animated Collection, matches with their first release: grave of the fireflies
Super nice release! The title and the character is embossed + holographic effect. Also some embossing on the back too. The finish of the slipcase has a velvet silky touch to it. It's amazing in hands! So lucky to be able to get this, all thanks to a buddy of mine
