Toei has decided to release Kamen Rider V3 again on DVD. The original box set containing all 52 episodes was released in 2002 and retailed for a whopping 54,600 yen ($465). There will be 9 volumes in total with roughly 6 episodes per disc and will set you back $40 per volume - ouch! The reasons for re-releasing are probably for media publicity to tie in with THE NEXT release this month (10/27) and to let people buy only the episodes that they really want. I personally would have made the jump to HD and released a HD-DVD/Blu-Ray version, but one can only hope.
For those wanting to catch some V3 action should check out the Region 1 box set from JN Productions, which even includes English subtitles and only costs $170 in comparison. For $10 more you can get an autographed copy by Miyauchi Hiroshi (Kazami Shiro) and for a limited time each order comes with a free T-shirt.
