Review by Esther

Once again this set has been wonderful. To see the last of the boxes come in the mail and have that last charm AND a music box was amazing. The sound quality for the box is wonderful. It turns on by the light from the room just like the first box did. And like the other box it has a spot that you can replace the batteries when they/it wear out. The charm set is beautiful once completed. I couldn't be more happy with my purchase over the year. Every poster that has come with the pre-order has been in perfect condition. The artwork books are also a treat to look through. The instructions to get the box to hold the box set is rather simple to follow. I can't wait until everything comes together.

I was hesitant at first to purchase the set due to this being my first purchase from CDJapan. Also the price made me hesitant. But I must say it was well worth it! The box set is amazing. I don't speak Japanese and I still think the purchase is worth it. The music box is beautiful and plays wonderfully once in light. The fact that I can change the battery is great. The charm is of excellent quality. Made of metal and not the cheap plastic charms you normally see for sale. The DVD plays wonderfully and the art in the books is wonderful. I can't be more pleased with it. Also the instructions for getting the poster for those who pre-ordered were really simple. The Venus poster I got was much taller then I expected. It does not have anything to hang it up with which is the ONLY downside I see to the set as a whole. I am very happy with the product and will continue to pre-order the rest of the set.

Once again CDJapan is on it! I received my package on time and it was once again well protected for traveling all the way to the U.S.A. The pearl red box has a different design on it just like the other two special edition boxes that I have received. It continues with the raised label on the outside of the box and embossing on it. Once opened you have a beautiful picture of Rei as the cover for the Blu-ray disk. Again the charm is absolutely amazing. Made of metal and well crafted. Inside the booklet you have yet another interview, screen shots of the episodes and character design pages. Well worth the price and continuing to be of high quality. A must have for collectors.
