So, it's coming with a tin to hold all 7 volumes? And, oh my gosh, it comes with a Laughing Man t-shirt! Now, this thing will probably be XL, and, considering I wear a S, I'm not too excited about that, but this means they might market a Laughing Man t-shirt! Hooray!

"Get this man an editor!"

Stand Alone Complex volume 7 LE will of the first season of Stand Alone Complex, in addition to the DTS disc that has been standard for all 7 LE volumes.

Maybe what you meant to write was something like...

"Stand Alone Complex Volume 7 LE, the last release for the first season of Stand Alone Complex, will include a collector's tin to hold all 7 LE volumes as well as a Laughing Man t-shirt."

Or something like that. Though I'm not sure about using "LE" since it's jargon, but that's being overpicky.

And isn't it suppose to be "Special Edition" (SE)?

Ah, you're right; I didn't do a closer examination of the release name either. Limited Edition implies there will be a limited supply, but these releases might not be like that...

A bug in the script ate a portion of the article. It's been re-posted with the full sentence.

Perhaps shrinking the shirt in the washer should do it.

More and more cotton shirts come preshrunk. I'm quite bitter about this, but, then again, there's almost no chance I could get an XL down to a small M (I could deal with that). Maybe I could take it and cut it up and put shoelaces or something down the side.

Will this boxset fit the first 2 mini boxsets that hold the cd soundtracks and the wider vol. 3 with the shirt?

Hopefully something like this comes for Requiem, that the last DVD comes with an optional boxset to hold all of the first volumes.

While I can understand the soundtracks (yet not completely, as they're an easier media to carry around and such) being in there, the thought of having space for a Tshirt (or a tshirts box) in there, which takes up the room of atleast 3 DVDs, is just plain old silly (considering another similar release to vol 3 is coming in vol. 6). So no, i don't think either will be going in.

Well since the DTS is kept in the same DVD case as the regular disc, you aren't exactly missing out here.

Yes. This is how the GitS: Sac SE DVDs are. Each volume has the regular edition disc, and another disc with the two DTS tracks. Both are in a 2-disc set (similar to hollywood films etc), and take the same ammount of space as a regular DVD case.

ah, thanks for clearing up the confusion. think its worth looking for the price on this nearer the time then. would be nice to have a tin for all those discs. they should do more like this, rather than the box / tin at the start of the series...

thanks.

I thought most one-size-only shirts were given out/sold at size L.
