That set you linked to appears to be the 2003 "Renewal" box set without its outer cardboard shipping box. Editorially speaking it's the same in terms of core content as the Japanese Blu-ray set regarding its cuts and alterations. It contains the following:

* 8 TV DVDs (Episodes 1-26 + 21'-24' [DC])
* 2 Movie DVDs (Death[True]² + EoE)
* 1 Bonus DVD (AR Rush videos, Genesis 0:0, Genesis 0:0', etc.)

Jesus, only 500 copies for Australia and New Zealand? I'd say those are gonna fly fast, but I just compared the price to the US set, and after conversion it's almost 100$ more

The title cards were also changed from "The End of Evangelion" to "Neon Genesis Evangelion", and one scene is altered in that Asuka goes from saying "iya" (TL: "no") to the word being displayed on-screen instead.

Less then 250 copies left of the UK version that in a miracle turned out to be the "cheapest" option even for US buyers. The pricing for the AUS/NZ version is beyond ridiculous, grab the UK set imho if you want one.

[PissedOffPeoN]

Or wait 6 days like me for standard cheaper version =-).

[Traveller]

Kinda garbage, but hopefully we see what the other options are before Madman goes live with this edition.

Yep and over $100AU the price of the UK release too.

[Traveller]

The FAQ on the UK site says they won't ship internationally, but it lets you and people have. So will those orders just be cancelled eventually? I guess its tempting to order and see what happens.

If a lesser edition comes with all the disks, I'd be happy with that though.

Bruhhhh ��
Glad I ordered mine from ATA, gotdamn $520???������
Even WITH international shipping, UK version only cost me like $380(aud)
Guess Australia doesn't get a special pre-order price, or if we do, hasn't been announced yet

Just hope my order doesn't get cancelled
I've ordered from ATA before, and it let me order this, but said on the site this was UK and Ireland only.. .

Man I really hope they don't cancel mine ��

[Rilenz]

Also how is everyone seeing how many are left in the UK? Where does it say that on their site?

The Aussie set probably costs more to produce because they have to invert the disc pressing machines from their usual orientation so that they can stamp the 1s and 0s in a format that accounts for playback in the Southern Hemisphere. The fault would lie with the spherical geometry of Earth's surface in this instance.

Hmmm... I think it's best if I get some concrete answers from All The Anime regarding international purchases for their Evangelion Ultimate Edition.

I'm gonna shoot them an email right now. I'll post/update everyone when they email back.

That I did. The pricing of the AU version is ridiculous

Protip: they can't because those are sold under the table for additional ££. The only official statement they could give is the one stating that international orders are cancelled. Anything different would be a breach to their contract with khara.

They have fixed the checkout now, can't be shipped internationally. Was working a few hours ago, but I didn't pull the trigger. :S

I wonder if they'll honor the orders that people (me included) did prior to that?

[Jr7936]

I think if they charged your card for the international shipping you should be good to go. At least I hope so

Shipping is still working for the USA, so maybe they just fixed it for AU and NZ
