Beetleborgs Metallix Vol. 2 – Shout Factory Needs Our Help

Shout factory, the awesome company responsible for bringing classics like Power Rangers, Ultra Q, VR Troopers, Ultra Seven, Beetleborgs, and even the Japanese Transformers Trilogy to DVD needs our help! Right now they're one volume away from finishing off all of our Big Bad Beetleborgs collections!

Season 1 volume 1 & 2 as well as Metallix Volume 1 have been released already. However the release of Metallix Part 2 is in jeopardy! Mr. Yellow has let us know that sales numbers need to climb for the previously released Beetleborgs sets before the final installment can actually happen. So Shout Factory is asking the collective tokusatsu community to help this final volume see the light of day!

If you haven't picked up the previous releases yet, then head on over to the Shout website and get a dose of pure 90's!

Let's make that last volume happen!

Thanks for posting this! It'd be a shame for that one volume to not get released...

No problem! This community will do whatever it can to help in this situation. One volume short just won't cut it

I do hope the remainder gets released.

This will bode well for other tokusatsu releases too.

Be sure to buy Ultra Q and Q: The Winged Serpent.

As much as I'd love to support these releases, I can't justify buying a physical copy when these are available through the Netflix subscription I'm already paying for. This just seems like a sales ploy to me..."we've already released 3/4ths of the episodes, but we're not going to make the last set unless you guys go out and buy lots of DVDs."

That's how DVD sets are released, though...
You don't release the 3rd set if the 2nd set didn't sell and the 1st set underperformed.
It's not a sales ploy. It's just...Accounting.

This isn't the 3rd set though, this is the fourth and final one. That means they've got customers who've purchased nearly an entire series and now Shout Factory is suddenly thinking "Hey, ummm, these Beetleborgs DVDs aren't really selling. Maybe we shouldn't release the last one." That's something you should evaluate at the first release, second tops...but 3/4ths of the way through with only one volume left? They should be fairly committed at this point or else they're going to have a lot of angry customers, which will affect the sales of their other products as well if people lose faith in their ability to deliver a product.

Why. I have them on Netflix

Because the disagreement between Viacom and Netflix that caused the majority of Nick owned shows to be removed for US Netflix streams will never happen again with other companies.
Not to mention Netflix has already announced that it intends on downsizing some of it's available streaming programs.
