This was discussed in the LDF Facebook group before. Nobody knows exactly how it went but I have a speculation... ![Image](http://www.pustan.com/test/ld_box.jpg) And I am using this picture as an example for my speculation. As you can see this is an Evangelion LD storage box. It can hold 10 LD's (a coincidence?) and retailed for 1,500yen. And no, it is not the same box that came as bonus with the first press LD's. It is a box you could just buy stand alone. The same company might have made more LD storage boxes. Maybe. With different art for different anime series. Probably. Someone has a Cowboy Bebop Artbook that includes item and goodie collection? It might be possible to find out something more this way. From the folks on LDF that have the Bebop box (I think it is 2 or 3 people there) it was said that there is nothing printed on the box itself, i.e. no reference number. Just a speculation though.

Good day everyone, Yes I was aware that of this Japanese box set. I love this series, very unique and stands out as one of my best ANIME purchases. The sound tracks are very well engineered especially during the slow motion scenes...... Gave myself the WOW! factor. I have the Blu-Ray box set and loved every episode. The only reason why I have not purchased the LD Japanese version as yet, is because of the non widescreen element, but you know what...... I think I will just bite the bullet and purchase this from a trusted Japanese Seller.still I have around 10 titles to receive and complete payment of, and will add this to my next shipment. All this writing of Cowboy Beebop........ I may now go ahead and watch this again in the early hours. Thank you for mentioning this fine Title. Kind Regards to everyone ![Thumbup :thumbup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumbup.gif)

It looks like this was retailed by MOVIC (a branch company of ANIMATE) as a custom job done to fill the gap left by 10 Cowboy Bebop LDs without a collector's boxset. Web.archive.org doesn't go back far enough (2006) to find out if this was every offered online while animate.co.jp Cowboy Bebop page was not archived... If you're hardcore set to purchase additional related material for your collection, you're probably not letting it go easily for sale -- hence the few occurrences where these go on sale? Julien

Bandai also did one for Escaflowne which I bought and decided to give to a friend since I ended up getting one with the figure.

rein-o wrote: While these boxes are neat they are just afterthoughts and not really an LD box or part of a box set. Shame as it would have been cool, I think I was and still am out of anime by that time period, the entire eva and bebop are just over my head. Even watching stuff like GTO is starting to wear on me and go the typical series route and not as fun or interesting as an OVA or film.
Lucky for me I'm not interested in either series that much and if I need I'll pickup the DVD of bebop for 10 or 15 now to stick to my KAFBR-Keep Away From Blu-Ray and after watching that eva I never really need to watch that again.
So more of these boxes for the collectors who really need the LDs in their collections.
On another note, funny to see only 2 volumes of evangelion made in the USA, guess it sold poorly since they would have had time to release all in the states, or they just gave up knowing that the series was too bad to finish on LD in the usa. I don’t think it’s children who need the LDs but for children who need a box that never got made and don’t mind having a somewhat fake one. Like when something is mail order only and doesn’t have a decent package. To my sort of collectard then that’s just the way it is...but a lot of 90s kids just *have* to have that box, even if it’s fake. They need MVS clamshell cases or whatever, they don’t really understand real vs fake so they’ll draw the thing up in crayon if they have to. This is for those people, although I have to say it’s about the most tasteful version of that possible.
