Gundam Wing

can anyone tell me what comes with the gundam wing box set ? and does he box come with all the dvds in a box or dvds in one box? and what are the special features

The Gundam Wing box wasn't released in 1999. The show didn't even air until March 2000. The first DVD came out shortly after the initial run ended in May, and from then on, a new DVD came out every other month (except for volumes 8 and 9, which came out at the same time) until the entire series was out by November 2001. The box set wasn't released until September 2002, ten months after the individual release of the tenth DVD.

If that sounds nitpicky, it's because it kind of is. But you say there are no extras worth mentioning, and then give a false release date as the reason why. Actually, the Gundam Wing DVDs came with some extras that, while they aren't as good as the extras on more recent releases, weren't all that bad. Off the top of my head, I recall mecha info, character bios, image galleries, textless openings and endings... and there was probably more, but I haven't put a Gundam Wing disc into my DVD player in at least three years, so my memory is somewhat hazy. Sure, those things don't stack up terribly well against the director's commentary on the FLCL DVDs or the NASA interviews on the upcoming Planetes DVDs or any DVD with interviews with cast or crew, but they weren't bad extras, and were better than the extras on a lot of other DVDs that were coming out at the same time.

The box itself, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't come with anymore extras, though. I don't have it because I got the individual discs, but I think it's just a box with the ten DVDs in it. So you still obviously get all the extras that came with the DVDs, but you don't get a booklet or pencil sharpeners or any of the other crap that came with the Zeta box, for instance. The only extra you get with the box is...the box.

dude...you don't have to all fiery about this. My memory was fuzzy....sorry (thats what the back of the DVDs say... bandai 1999.) If someone makes a mistake in a forum, big whoop, somebody just step up and make a correction, and not write some long ol email telling that person off. And the extras are really not worth mentioning. That was my state of opinion. A page of mech techs that are on the back of the box, a still shot of a character and a sentence with an age, and textless openings...does anyone find those worthwhile extras?
