Yeah, but the AMAZON listings for the ANIME LEGENDS set for Wolf’s Rain made it seem the same way. MY advice - wait and see what happens to other people AFTER they get them when it’s released.

Or - you could just order the Complete Perfect Collection right now for under $ 30.

According to the Amazon listing, the Anime Legends release is set to be six discs, which would be enough for the complete series. Might be worth not pre-ordering and waiting on a review or something, but $38 for the complete COWBOY BEBOP is an amazing deal. I probably spend $120 - $150 for those discs originally.

Thanks, guys, for the correction. COWBOY BEBOP is pretty much the only anime series I’ve ever seriously gotten into. And my lack of knowledge about the anime DVD world is a bit telling, I’m afraid. If the complete remixed series is coming out for $40 (or even $80 for two), then I’m REALLY glad I didn’t go for the individual discs when they were re-issued in the last year or two.

Before you go out and order those Anime Legend sets - be VERY careful. They did the exact same thing with Wolf’s Rain ( done by the same people as Bebop - and released by Bandai as well ) - and it was called the COMPLETE WOLF’S RAIN, but then you get the DVD set and come to the realization that the COMPLETE set is divided into 2 DVD sets - released MONTHS apart, so COMPLETE with Bandai could mean ANYTHING. Notice, there’s a real lack of information on Bandai’s site as well regarding this.

My guess is the REMIX set is being sold as Part 1 and Part 2.

Saw that they were releasing the set Paul mentioned in this month’s Previews in the video section at the end of the catalog. I bought the original DVD set Amazon specially packaged for $99.99 back a few years ago and now am saddened that the Remix set is coming at less than regular cost of 2 of those DVD’s.

And come February all the REMIX releases are being packaged together into a set costing (at Amazon) $40 (the set’s called Cowboy Bebop: Anime Legends). Which is amusing to me since two of the original Remix releases would have costed more than $40.

The box/link which you have posted - is actually a collection of the ENTIRE series. Not sure if it’s a legal copy, Japanese print readable in region 1 or bootleg - but the copy I have is of excellent quality, so who cares. For $ 27 for the complete series, it’s a steal. I recommend it.

I think what you saw in Borders was the “Cowboy Bebop:Remixed” set.
