- Are you sure it was _Perfect_ Collection? I haven't seen it ANYWHERE.
- Personally, I think that Macek has underestimated the time and effort it takes
- to subtitle something. Did he really expect to subtitle 6 total episodes
- a month? He wasn't even able to make the regular editions on schedule.
- If we DO eventually see the first perfect collections coming out, they will
- surely be interrupted later on. Actually, I don't think Macek has EVER
- subtitled anything. Which makes it all the harder for him to
- make them on time.
-
- Macek bashing ON
-
- If there was EVER any proof that Macek doesn't give a flying fig about
- the fans, it's the way he's marketing the Robotech collections. I was happy
- to hear that he was subbing the episod for a special release, but
- then was quickly unhappy to hear that they were to be released as 2
- dubbed + 2 subbed as opposed to 4 subbed per tape. Idiocy. I can't even
- see how he could BEGIN to defend this type of marketing. To compare the
- episodes? Hey, if I wanted to compare the episodes, I'd only have to
- buy the dubbed tape along with the subbed (if he were to release it as
- 4 subbed per tape). It would cost the same amount for the same number
- of episodes and on the same number of tapes. But no, if I want to
- have the complete subbed Macross, I have to buy 18 tapes as opposed to
- 9. Plus, if I want to watch the shows in order in a sitting, I have
- to fast forward to the subbed episodes every time I switch tapes.
- He's a certified jerk, plain and simple. I refuse to support this. I'd
- like to see the subs very much, but I will not spend any of my money on
- it. It's an inferior product. I hope one person buys it and it gets
- sold over and over and over on the net so everybody who wants to can see it
- but Macek gets one sale. Heh, that'd be funny.
- Here's a what if situation:
- WHAT IF STREAMLINE HAD MARKETED THE BGC LASERDISKS?
- BGC collection disk 1: English dubbed versionof episode 1 on side one.
- Spanish dubbed version side 2.
- BGC perfect disk 1: English subbed episode 1 side one
- Spanish dubbed episode 1 side two
- BGC Mr. Rogers collection disk 1 : Mr. Rogers episode side one
- BGC subbed and in stereo side two
- and so it goes...
