O.O 115 DOLARS?! WTF?! Pour un truc mal animé avec un doublage bancale qui efface les effets sonores?!
Who the heck is releasing it? Criterion?!
Unless it comes with Super Robot Chogokin Grendizer that's totally not worth 115$!

No wait... that's just Kreo. 
Sorry, bud... I know it really sucks, but I just couldn't resist making that joke.

I don't care about Kreo, I care about Transformers that are complete
I'm going to Zellers tomorrow for an exchange, I'm hoping for the best...

No kidding! The wholesale rate direct from the distributor is even $130... so the big stores must be getting a bulk discount. There are probably like, a million episodes, but that's still oldschool anime DVD price-gouging right there. It's like it's 2004 all over again!
Of course part of that is no doubt due to the very specialized market. Region 1 Grendizer episodes en francais? I think there's only one relatively tiny market for that in the whole world.

Good luck, bud. You didn't get the product you paid for, so stick to your guns!
(but don't take guns... that could get ugly)

Looks like some kids are getting pasta for Christmas. They don't call him Saint Nick for nothing.

Well, I would mix it up...you know...whole wheat, tri-coloured, gluten free. Maybe even some Mac & cheese! I love the holidays.

Bon, bon, encore un chiâleux... T'as l'air d'avoir oublié le prix que se vendaient les coffrets originaux des Transformers dans le temps! Genre 100$ CHACUN pour genre 25 épisodes! Pis on s'en tape tu que ça soit mal animé, c'est Goldorak cibole! Les Transformers étaient pas tellement mieux côté animation et ça a été fait genre 10 ans plus tard...
C'est Imavision qui sort ça. Ça sera pas la version bootleg poche du tawouin qui vendait sa version en DVD gravés Ã* genre 100$ juste Ã* côté des films de cul de Paris Hilton au Comicon lÃ*... Les 74 épisodes vont être lÃ*, plus 3 épisodes en Japonais. Y'a déjÃ* des coffrets (5?) en France, mais ils étaient codés région 2 je pense et ils coûtaient de quoi comme 300-400$ ensemble.

Grendizer is only 74 episodes, that's 2,09$ an episode! Compare to Imavision's Albator 78 which is only 39,99 for 42 episodes. That's 95 cents an episode!
I'd be willing to pay somewhere between 50$ and 70$ before taxes but 115 is ridiculous.
