Help: Expensive but Important

[Forever Knight]

I've come across a guy who is willing to sell me Jiraya, Winspector, Janperson, and Blue Swat for a total of $470.00 U.S.

Now, this is obviously a crazy price for RAW Toku but I need these series to complete my Metal Heroes collection. I'm also dieing to watch them.

I've got the money for it right now too, but If I do go for this I can't buy the DS Lite for another few weeks.

So do you guys think I should grab this? Obviously it's a bit of a rip0ff, but I'm desperate to have these shows.

What should I do?.

 

[KamenRiderZero]

Personally I'd go with the DS, but that's just me.

 

[Kyusaku]

what a ripoff

 

[kyo28]

Definitely DON'T get this: the official DVD's haven't been released for these series, so they're obviously 'home-brewed' stuff. 470 USD is way too much for something like that.
Jiraiya for example is circulating on Winny at pretty decent quality, and you can get it for free!

 

[Mikazuki]

What rip off indeed. If you're going to pay a pretty penny for something then buy official dvds - if available. Why give someone THAT much money for bootlegs? If you're so desperate, post around various communities and ask for trades or someone to make you copies for the cost of dvds and shipping. But NEVER shell out hundreds of dollars on copies/bootlegs.

 

[Black Ranger RX]

FLAMIN HECK!! Yes they are so expensive not even Bill Gates can afford them.

Me? I promised I would never buy any bootlegged Toku ever again, but personally I would buy just the Winspector, coz I so desperately wanna see more of this series. If Winspector was officially released on DVD by Toei then I'd leave the bootleg out and save for the Toei version. But that along with ZyuRanger seems to be easier said than done.

But in the end, your monney, your decisions!! :thumbs:

 

[Forever Knight]

I know it's clearly a ripoff. The quality for all those shows are labelled between 8-10 aswell. But I don't think waiting for Toei to release this stuff is a good idea, I doubt they even will and if they do it probally won't be for years as Sentai & KR are what they are mostly releasing since 2003.

I'm just fully desperate for this shows and I'll feel like a m0r0n if I do pay that much but there is nothing else I can really do. Those shows are rare and like nobody has seen them or even own them.

This guy charges almost $90 a fucking series too. I guess my $40 for 2 this week is a better deal that I thought.

 

[kyo28]

I think you're looking at it the wrong way.

First of all, Toei isn't just concentrating on Kamen Rider and Sentai. They release other, old series as well, including the Metal heroes. The three oldest metal hero series (Uchuu Keiji series) have been released on DVD, so I wouldn't be surprised they continue in this trend, meaning Jiraiya probably won't be too far off.

Secondly, some of these series are easy to find. Here's proof, I'll give you a complete list of Jiraiya hashes for Winny to download those shows in 640x480 Divx 5.01 quality:

If it really means that much to you, I'll even upload some on direct download to get you started. But don't believe anything they say on the Internet. These series aren't as hard to find as they want you to think. I could just as easily post hashes for Spielban, Winspector and more, and I bet they're better quality than what that guy is offering. Besides, like I mentioned, series like Jiraiya have recently aired on BroadBand TV in Japan, meaning lots of people could encode them at high quality.

And finally, with all the series that are already released on official DVD's, would it really be such a pain to wait a few more years until the official DVD's are released? I mean, are you that addicted to it?

At any rate, it's your money and your decision, but I just wanted to give you facts as they are, considering some probably artificially keep the prices high for these bootlegs.

What exacally is Winny? Is it a Torrent? I use edonkey. Could you toss me a link?.

If it really means that much to you, I'll even upload some on direct download to get you started.

Check ur PM.

I mean, are you that addicted to it?.

Sadly enough, yes.

At any rate, it's your money and your decision, but I just wanted to give you facts as they are, considering some probably artificially keep the prices high for these bootlegs.

The facts you gave me make alot of sense. I think I'll attempt that Winny thing and download as much as I can.

Winny is a P2P, much like emule and the likes. Here's an interesting link to get started with it, but be warned that it's a Japanese P2P and as such all files are in Japanese:
In English
