Got SE Vol. 4. Yep, three figures (go CEO Jameson!) but no soundtrack CD. Someone at Amazon's not earning their keep...

yea mine came with the 3 figures,

i haven't seen or heard of anyone getting the supposidly soundtrack..

my guess is its the OST3? maybe

since it is the only one that hasn't come out yet with an LE DVD box set ..

OST1, Be Human, OST2 are the 3 sound tracks i've received with teh DVDs so far.

I recieved a vauge reply from Amazon telling me they were going to correct this problem, though I could not tell from what they said exactly how they were going to correct it.

Me and Amazon are friendly friends again. They made up for their mistake and appologized.
Im glad, cause I buy way to many things from them and would hate to have to stop.

I've watched Anime-Kraze's fansub of 1st GIG Episode 14: Y€$ and it started by showing four screens with text describing the background of the Y€$ currency (feel free to tell me the ASCII code for yen, I only have € and $ on my keyboard :wink:). I figured that nifty extra stuff like this comes with the DVDs, but now that I got the boxed set of the 1st GIG from Amazon.co.uk, I didn't get any extra information about Y€$ on the pertinent DVD, only four character profiles (the girl kidnapped by terrorists, the rich guy, tachikoma and the boxer), two interviews and trailers.

So now I wonder what else I might have been missing out of. Is it a difference between region 1 and 2 DVDs, or did that extra information about Y€$ come with a special DVD of some sort? Or did Anime-Kraze read it somewhere else and decided to create their own info screens?

Aside from that it was nice to finally understand some of the more strangely translated (by fansubbers) dialogue.

The only differences between the Region 1 DVDs and the Region 2 DVDs that come out in Britain are the extras, the British region 2 DVDs come with quizzes, episode summaries and character profiles.

I didn't get any quizzes on my DVDs (that I noticed anyway), though I did get episode summaries. And on the last DVD they had exchanged the character profiles for info about cyberbrain sclerosis, micro-machines and the Murai vaccine (or something like that, one theme for each episode, unlike the character profiles which showed all profiles on every episode on that disk).

I have read in multiple places that SAC 2nd Gig Volume 5 LE will come with three figures, Togusa, the Major and a Tachikoma, I am sure that the Togusa figure is definitely going to come with this release and the Major figure could also come with this release, the alternate Major figure is of her on her knees with wires wrapping around her and binary code that is imprinted on the mold.

I am hoping that in SAC 2nd Gig Volume 5 LE, the alternate Major figure that is shown by clicking on the link in my last post is included in the set and for the Tachikoma figure, it could be a Tachikoma with a different color.

any one seen any confirmation pictures about the figures in hte LE?

i agree that they are the above but you never know..

with only 3 weeks until release i'm suprised nothing has surfaced (many sites still dont' even have the cover art)..

seems like Ep4 LE stuff was out about 6 weeks before it was released..
