Amazon was one of the better prices for this when they were taking preorders. Now they are the highest that I've found. Try Circuit City, Best Buy or Robert's Anime corner.

First of all, I have to warn potential buyers of the new and used sales for this product. Those that state that the collection has different cover art or a different case are selling you a bootleg. Your bootleg could be either a very poor quality foreign sub (tend to have horrible grammar, poor image resolution, and no extras) or what is called an American Rerelease. "American Rereleases" are just bootlegged copies of the real release that have been packaged in bulk quality cases with zeroxed inserts for the cover art. While they are cheaper their sales do not benefit anyone but the bootlegger. The studio that produced and marketed the series is losing out, and buying from bootleggers taxes the legit studios by taking their profits. Profits that would later get put into bringing you new series.
So please, think about it before buying from a reseller and make sure you're getting what you're paying for. Buying from bootleggers will not get you a quality product.
With that being said, Outlaw star is the quintessential post apocalyptic space anime. Seriously. In this series you'll find an amazing cast of characters, a solid story line, and very nice animation that can still hold its own even when compared to more modern anime.
What is so wonderful about these older shows is that they were being produced when the broad audience still loved the extreme anime style and was willing to accept rather far fetched concepts without needing to be told in careful layman's terms what it all meant. The result? A series with good pace, surprises, and lots of action. Not to mention a lovable cast that, while still staying true to their extreme natures and rather stereotypical character types, are full of human emotion and still suffer from some faults.
This series does not disappoint. It's a lovely mix of actions, romance (and not that cheesy, gooey kind), and even surprises you with a few hilarious gags.
Oddly enough, the DVD case for this set reads that it comes with three disks.... But Amazon is correct in listing that it has six. I'm not sure why the official, legit release would have such a strange error on the case but don't panic if you receive yours and notice the mistake.
This release also includes the textless opening and ending, one huge plus for fans who like to watch things in their entirety.
