I want these so bad... I have too many VHS, LDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays to fit on my shelf right now though... Mostly just want a movie blu-ray box set since I missed out on the R2 DVD set for that.
It's all very tempting, but it would be nice if they had the nice stuff from the laserdiscs... that I would totally buy if I could be sure they didn't have laser rot or deep scratches..
I much prefer, the illustrations drawn by the Japanese. I find that the drawings found on DVD or other (France, Italy, Germany, USA) are too recent and don't reflect the year of production.
Then I don't like draughtsmen who just copy existing drawings.

I love the art for the first box, it looks new. Does anyone know if it's new art by Ikuko Ito? As far as I know she hasn't drawn any Sailor Moon in years. I think she may even be retired
Set 1 uses art from Volumes 1 (Moon), 2 (Chibi Moon & Diana), 6 (Mercury & Mars) & 7 (Jupiter & Venus) while Set 2 uses art from Volumes 3 (Mars & and a NOT upside-down Jupiter), 4 (Mercury & Venus) & 9 (Moon).
As for the boxes, 1 is from the LaserDisc Box while 2 is from Volume 10.
Well no box to put them in this time so Toei won't see me paying full price I'll take mine at 25% off again thanks.
Some of the "bonus" items this time are shockingly cheap - a tote bag and a poster ? That's probably mass produced a few hundred yen at most but adds a few thousand yen as you pay full price instead of deep discounted price.
