Thanks, Kaoru!

And also on this site are pictures of the discs (who can easily
escapes one's notice because the link is in Japanese, therefore I
thought I'll send this link, too):

So what features does this box actually have...can anyone translate the text?
Beyond the box, and nice graphics on the discs, do the features really stand
out? I'd assume that the transfers are the same ones we have here in the
States from A&E. The Thunderbirds boxes are really nice, too, but cost even more
than the UFO sets. ($275 US).

thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,

I am ready to translate the Japanese text one by one.
This is the first one...

Kaoru,
Thanks for all of your help....

The sets look good, but I don't know if it's worthwhile to buy them for the
added features listed. Who are the people interviewed? Do you know them?
Are the discs listed ast region two only...?

all the best,
Ken

into Japanese.
Michio Hazama is another voice articst who did Michael Billington.
