The wait is nearly over as part 2 of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam arrives on Blu-ray next week, Monday 8th May to be exact. Today we’re delighted to be able to bring you a quick unboxing of what it will look like and show you how it will next to Part 1 inside the lovely collector’s box that came with too!
Before getting the juicy details, a quick reminder that you can order this now from Amazon UK, Anime-on-Line and even our own web shop.
A quick reminder as well that to date we have released the original Mobile Suit Gundam series, Gundam Reconguista in G, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Part 1 and the Mobile Suit Gundam Movie Trilogy* all on Blu-ray! So if you’re looking to start you’re Gundam Collection, now is a great time!

WHAT’S INSIDE WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
Continuing on the theme of our release of Zeta Gundam Part 1, Part 2 includes the second half of the series, episode 26-50, with both English audio and original Japanese with subtitles. The three discs comes packed inside an amaray case, and also included with the first print-run of Zeta Gundam Part 2 is a Collector’s Edition Art Book that will also fit inside the lovely looking box that came with Part 1.
NOTE: As was the case with Part 1, this Limited Edition version of Part 2 that comes with the book is not exclusive to any one retailer. It’s the only version that’s available on day of release (8th May 2017) so there is no way to purchase it without the book included. Once stock is nearing is run, we’ll make it known on our channels. Once stock with the book has sold out there it will be the amaray case with discs only.
WHAT DOES THE FINAL PRODUCT LOOK LIKE?
Below you will find photos that you can click to enlarge if you want.
Worth noting to everyone that we have NOT used glue dots to keep the book against the amaray case, It’s held together with a thin plastic belly band (aka a plastic strip running around the box.)
