And just after we got a 'sample' set of about 30 episodes in stores here recently, the full 95 episode series boxset is now available in America, with heaps of bonus stuff (like the recent TFs boxset from the same people - Shout! Factory).

17 DVD set is US$145, while the TFs set is 16 DVDs for US$140.

The site seems to be very America-centric, in that it doesn't even appear to acknowledge the outside world when it comes to international ordering - it lists Nth American shipping options, but doesn't seem to say anywhere that it accepts international orders (and I don't want to waste time registering just to find out that I probably can't order directly from them).

At least those who were interested, can keep an eye out for it on secondary sources.
