Wake me up when they eventually get Super Sentai DVD's
Now this is some good news!
Nothing official has been announced by Arrow so I'm not exactly going to take this at face value.
We know they have Gamera but the exact contents of the box set are unknown. It seems to me like the authors of this article in NEO are speculating more than anything.

I was trying to find out who wrote the article but it doesn’t say specifically. They have a fair few people who write for them who do academic work on Japanese film so they could easily be in the know about it.
Guess we’ll find out soon enough!
EDIT: Confirmed on Twitter
I hope the US will get this set. Arrow does release things in the states unless the license holders tell them otherwise.
