That's great to hear now I don't have to pay some scalper on Ebay over 300 dollars for one when the retail was $120.00 or less.
Now I can wait a few months and pick up a copy at a reasonable price.

I was a backer, and have my copy, but it's great to see this available for those that missed out.

Knowing my luck, the retail release will be region locked!

Man, I haven't watched BGC since the VHS era (after it was a cover story in Animag). I should probably get in on this.

Nice, Anemigo tend to get spiked on import tax here so it's nice to see a more affordable edition that can slip under the radar.

Great timing. The other day I was sort of regretting not getting the BD's. I have watched only bits of the show, but I will probably get this standard set.

I was in on the Kick Starter for this.. it's good to see the original BGC back available again for those that weren't in on the kickstarter.

I was curious when this was going to come out. I do want to see this in HQ. Now I'm wondering if I should buy it again. I still have my old set. But glad this still came through.

The Blu Rays are definitely worth upgrading to vs the older DVD release which I have in my collection.
I just kept putting it off and then it went out of print since I was so busy with work.
Was able to watch a episode or two at a friends house who got his during the kickeer starter and it looked amazing.
Not long ago I was bidding on a set on Ebay but the dam thing sold for $375.00 dollars which for me unless it's a must buy at any price, couldn't justifty paying that much when I knew that you could get it for $60.00 or $120.00 dollars direct before it went out of print.

I've been meaning to watch this given 2040 is 6th on my list of fav anime.

This is good news for newer fans/those that didn't manage to get the ultimate edition version, as it's still (to me at least) one of the iconic series, and one I still regularly recommend as worth watching.
Lynx Raven Raide, I rate it much higher than 2040 in most areas (it looks better/more gritty and has one of the best opening scenes in any anime).
2040 had a better/more paced story (2032 got cut short I think), but I prefer the looks and characters in '32.
Which reminds me I've still got to back the Gunsmith Cats kickstarter.

I just bought the DVD set last November assuming I couldn't get the Blu-ray anymore. Oh wells, as long as it is not limited edition I guess I can take my time getting it.
