Hey, y'all-
I was wondering if Bandia has a Collector's Edition in the works for Banners I & II, as they developed one for Crest of the Stars. Does anyone have any word?

And, are the novels carried readily in the U.S.?

Thanks

When asked recently, Bandai said no. It may change someday, but if you want to pick up the series, it's probably best to go for it now. I don't think you'll see a discounted collection anytime soon.

Sadly, the novels aren't available in the US right now. May happen eventually, but like the Banner collections, there's nothing even close to official confirmation.

Thanks much, though that is disappointing.

hee hee I fixed it ^^ For some reason every time I clicked the URL button it gave me [/spoilers].

I already own copies of the novels, so Loa wants me to try and get a picture of me with the novels so that I can just get the translations. Problem is I don't have a digital camera or a scanner so...guess I'll just have to wait until something comes up.

I asked this question once, and I will ask it again, now that Bandai has covered it's bases with the series - will they perhaps, release another collector's edition for the series? It appears that the series is popular.

Thanks,
Erin

Not that I've heard. I already own it, so don't really care, but it would be really nice for those people who don't have it. I know my brother is thinking of picking it up, and would be much more likely to purchase a set than the discs individually.


Banner II wraps up this month, so it's definitely early to speculate on that one....

The final disc of Crest came out in December 2001. The collection came in June 2003, 1 1/2 years later. In short - don't hold your breath.

It has a number of passionate fans, but I never got the impression that it was a big seller.
