It's possible they got the set from another trader who said it was every ep, and never really watched the discs or compared the eps on the discs to an ep guide - just started selling it through their site. *shrug* I let them know, anyways. I also informed them that when they said every episode was in English and that every disc was a DVD that was wrong too - the last 2 discs are VCDs (I think?) with Japanese and English tracks playing simultaneously (Japanese on one speaker and English on the other). I have to play them on the computer in a media player so I can disable one speaker.

Thing is, I wasn't "ripped off" financially - the price was decent for the number of discs, and as far as I know this is the biggest set available for that show anyways. I just don't think it's right to state "every episode and special" when you're missing 100 eps and half the specials.

In fact when we were down at the Con GM bought a 2-disc set from someone who said it was every ep of that particular 13-ep show, but it was as if it was missing a disc. There was about 1/3 of the eps missing. That one as I recall was not worth the money. At least that show came out officially earlier this month so now we do have them all.

I now have the urge to double-check that high-priced Sailor Moon collection I picked up. The only problem I've had was with one episode that had the audio track coming out of just one speaker; now I'm wondering if there's anything else amiss.

But, if none of this applies to a story, it's probably not a badfic. =P

People who stand in doorways and have conversations with the people inside the room, thus blocking anyone from entering and exiting the room. Which you know, defeats the basic purpose of the door.

Bleh, yeah, that is annoying, that and people who block the hallways doing the same thing. We get that a lot here. Move to the side, people.

It's also an annoyance on public transit where in people will sometimes stand there all slack jawed in "front" of the doorways as opposed to moving to the side and give the people getting off, their space.
