Hey guys, I've found a site selling the DVD's for a great price (http://www.animetoxic.com anyone had any experience with them? They reliable) and I'm trying to keep the cost down as low as I can, especially since I'm importing to Australia. (anyone know how much that'd cost?)

So, what I want to ask is, Which DVD's should I get and why?

Stages 1,2 and 3 are a must, but i'm hung up on the others.

Stage 3, First of all. Should I get the "Special Box" version? or the normal version? Are the extra's on the Special disc worth the extra money?

Extra Stage... is this worth my money? I think i'll get it anyway, just to top of my collection, but I heard there was little racing and just a substandard plot.

Finally Battle Stage... I heard this is simply a compilation of all the car battles in one DVD. If so, why get it if i'm getting all the others? are there any improvements/changes to the battles on the other DVD's?

Thanks for the help
Jayson

Extra stage is worth the extra money just so that it completes the series. Battle stage would be questionable, as its really only a recap with better CG. oh, and the FD LanEvo race.

I might leave it without Battle Stage methinks, and just download it of the net if I want to see the Lan Evo vs FD race so much.

Extra Stage I think i'll grab, just to complete the series...

I still don't know about Special Box though (the extra disc with 3rd Stage) What's on it, and is it worth the extra $10 US?

The extra disc in the special box contains the making of the movie, and some commercials of promotion of the movie. I'd buy it if I were you.

I'd prefer to get them on DVD. The quality is alot better right?

I want to get them from Kazaa, but that would take ages (stupid 3 Gig limit...)

Maybe I will go for the 3rd stage Extra CD... But I'll pass on battle stage.

the dvds on that site are HK dvds too, but different from the ones I have. The deluxe one is good.
