    Are you getting it on DVD or VHS for 120.00. If its on DVD thats a pretty good price. I saw something else that was only 1 season for 50 bucks. Thats a good price (im pretty sure anyway).

    Sounds almost too good to be true, but then I realize we're talking VHS and USD, and likely in used condition. Do you mind me asking where you're looking at this set? Is it an ebay dealio?

    Are you certain it's all seasons, then? That would quite a number of cassettes, there...

    Ah, a DVD boxed set with about 8 discs in there... That'd be the complete collection of one of the many seasons. About average price, methinks.

    Just because a break-down of the boxed set DVDS looks like:
    Digital Dojo (Season 1) - 5 Discs
    Anything Goes (Season 2) - 5 Discs
    Hard Battle (Season 3) - 5 Discs
    Outta Control (Season 4) - 6 Discs
    Martial Mayhem (Season 5) - ? Discs
    Random Rhapsody (Season 6) - ? Discs (box-set releases later this year)
    Ranma Forever (Season 7) - unreleased in DVD-boxset (individual dvds are available)
    Season 8 - unreleased in DVD
    OVA Series - 3 Discs

    for all the seasons 120.00 is a good deal but be sure it's all the seasons.

    There must be some sort of confusion here. At BestBuy the average Ranma boxset (per season) averages to $90 each. I do recall seeing it in ebay auction on HK Ranma entire collection for $200 before but that's lot of dvd's.

    That I would believe, as HK sets go for big price cuts. Of course, they vary in quality, and are more often than not illegal. A business like Best Buy would definately not carry a HK release, though.

    One Boxset at $90 plus One DVD of Ranma Forever $20+ would likely range around $120.00 ...About average price, like I said.

    Funny thing is when I was watching HK dvd's that I borrowed from a friend of mine; during the intermission the subtitle showed "Sub titled for fans..." :rolleyes:

    $120 is a good deal for the DVD set, that's what I got mine for off of ebay.
    It's the 7 series set:
    S1 - 2 discs
    S2-7 - 3 discs ea.
    Dubbed in either Jap or Eng and optional subs in both languages. Comes in 4 boxes, 20 discs.

    Was there a season 8 or is OVA considered season 8?

    BTW, Where can I find OVA for d/l (other than Kazaa)? I jus spent enough on the S1-7, I kinda want to save my money for jus 12 more episodes.
