I'm not exactly sure how reliable this is but it looks pretty good to me. I was browsing google about Genshiken DX being delayed and I found my way to funimation's forums talking about Media Blasters. From there I was directed to media blaster's official facebook page (that's the part I dunno how legit it is, I just found it).
Anyway here's an excerpt form it - The official Media Blasters page! The titles listed below will be shipping the week of 11/29. I hope this helps 
Genshiken DX Lite Box Ikki Tousen Volume 3 Flesh Eater Blu-ray combo ...Ultimate Machine Girl Genshiken 2 Litebox Blade of the Immortal Lite Box Armored Fleet Dairugger Collection Three Fleshdance Ichi 1: Origin Fleet of Doom Blu-ray -Note- On the same token we should probably still not get our hopes up  .

Purely because I hate to be predictable, I am not going to be snide in this post. I will merely observe that I really hope this announcement is legit and that the dates are met.

An RACS newsletter a while back mentioned that they likely wouldn't be shipping titles until around the second week of December, if I recall correctly.
Those Genshiken boxes as Christmas presents from me to me would be great under the tree :( Last edited by Polly E. on Wed Dec 01, 2010 7:17 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I'm not interested in these, but I'm glad MB is doing something.

Oh, by the way, the Genshiken DX Lite Box & Genshiken 2 that Media Blasters announced on Facebook would be shipping the week of 11/29/10? Yeah, yesterday they announced on their FB page that March 2011 is the new release date.
In fact, it doesn't look like any of the titles mentioned in the OP got shipped. I cannot even begin to express my utmost shock and surprise at this wholly unforeseen circumstance.

You are getting the releases mixed up. The "March 2011" release is A Genshiken complete collection including S1, S2, and the OVAs. |

@ WTK - Nope. Here's what's on MB's Facebook page:
The complete in that sentence refers to Genshiken 2, not Genshiken DX and Genshiken 2 together as a single collection (although I understand how somebody could make your mistake). The reason I know this is if you read the comments under that post you'll see this exchange:
That seems to indicate that Anthony Balmung made the same mistake as you and MB corrected him. Certainly, TRSI's releases for the week of Nov. 29 don't list any MB products at all, which is why I assume that none of the product listed in the OP made it to market. |

The MB's reply can be ambiguous. I can consider it as a delay to a an unsolicited release of the encompassing complete collection that was intended for earlier. The cover art in the very same entry also indicate that there will be a Genshiken Complete Collection with S1, S2, OVA. 2 items from list have shipped already. Ikki-Tousen Dragon Destiny, Vol.3 has shipped for quite a while now. Ultimate Machine Girl have shipped for a couple weeks now. |

@ WTK - you are right that the cover art certainly seems to indicate that there will be a complete collection of Genshiken S1, S2 & the OVAs. In which case the wording of "No sorry, this was moved to March" is very bizarre. How can something that was never announced in the first place be "moved"?
You are correct about Dragon Destiny vol. 3 and Ultimate Machine Girl, but Genshiken DX and the Genshiken 2 Litebox did not ship the week of Nov. 29. It also seems odd that MB would announce (?) a complete Genshiken collection considering they haven't released Genshiken DX or the Genshiken 2 complete series yet, don't you think? |

Their first release date for Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei was May, just saying. Well, hopefully with their new partner in distribution or whatever then these delays will eventually start to dissipate. I'm waiting on the Genshiken 2 set and hopefully an eventual second release date for SZS.

Are you talking about the Genshiken 2 Litebox? It's funny the premium box even without the tshirt is selling for like $40-60 now . I remember buying it for $18-19 bucks last year. |
