<< So is it worth $250? >>
I think it is. I didn't know too much about Macross, I just knew a bunch of people who said it was a good series so I signed up for the pre-order like almost 2 years ago! I kinda just forgot about it. I'd get a periodic update from Animeigo occasionally saying they were still working.
Then one day I got a message that said "We just billed you $240. happy landings."
Oops.
So I was nervous b/c I just dropped so much on something I knew little about, but I have to say it was money well-spent, having looked at all the stuff and watched most of the series.
