This year just got a little more expensive for Gundam fans as Bandai Visual has set a release date for two box sets to bring out the full fifty one episode series Mobile Suit Gundam Victory. The plan is for the first set to arrive on July 24th, 2015 and then the second on September 25th, 2015, both of which are priced at 34,000 yen. The initial solicitation has not provided any visuals for it, but there will be four new audio commentaries recorded for select episodes and it’ll also include the clean opening and closing. A newly illustrated box is being designed for the set and there are some booklet pieces in the works for it as well for the first set. The second set looks to have another four episodes with commentary, the clean opening and closing, and eye-catch collection and a scenes collection as well as promotional spots and commercial spots in a collection.
The series originally aired in 1993 and 1994 and has not been released in North America previously.
Plot concept: It is Universal Century 0153. On the space colonies located at Side 2, the Zanscare Empire has come to power and it holds onto that power through liberal use of the guillotine. With its forces invading the Earth and its space fleets preparing to subjugate the other Sides, the Zanscare Empire has nothing to fear from the weakening Earth Federation. It is opposed only by the League Militaire, whose state of the art mobile suits and young pilots comprise the only real resistance movement. Now, thirteen-year-old Uso Evin has been dragged into the war by a battle near his home in Eastern Europe. As the Newtype pilot of the Victory Gundam, he fights not only to defeat the Zanscare Empire but also to find out what has become of his parents, who left him behind when they went into space.
