Ultraman...should I...?

[GVman@Guts]

So, I should put a rattlesnake in Chaiyo's mailbox, then?

If by that you mean the whole legal case, then try this article from Sci-Fi Japan:

Wait, so no more Ultraman period in Thailand?
Either that I misread the article....

I think you did.

Pro-Link, who are the official licensing agent for Ultraman in Thailand, demanded that all unofficial Ultraman items created by Chaiyo had to be removed from stores. Pro-Link work with Tsuburaya Productions and all future Ultraman releases in Thailand will go through them, as they should have done from the beginning.

Who gives a **** about this?

I'm happy that I own the box set! I'm glad I saw the whole 39 episodes and loved it.

I agree with foreverred. I'm glad to atleast own it. when they first came out they were treated like Offical Releases. it wasn't until the 2008 case that people started bashing and bitching.

Move the **** on. Chaiyo can't touch Ultraman, The volumes are still worth it.

JB and FR. Typical reactions from a fandom that has grown complacent about things like this. I bet you guys also don't care when people bootleg or download V3 or the other licensed toku. And you can NOT use the excuse that UM is licensed, because as proven here, that is false.

That's not true at all, Jedi. I was one of the MANY people decrying the initial release before it even hit shelves a few years back. A lot of people were upset, it's just flaired up again because of this new Mill Creek release.

 

[CaptainB_Money]

ugh. Why does the Ultra Series always get treated like such **** outside of its homeland.

On a more important note, I'm super debating on a DX Ultra Eye..... hmmmmmm
