Amazon UK now Stock Gundam Unicorn Blu-Rays

Online retail giant Amazon UK are now listing, stocking & selling Gundam Unicorn Blu-rays. Previously the only way of getting a Gundam Unicorn Blu-ray was by ordering it direct from BEEZ's UK Store, which previously only had Volume 1 in stock or by importing it from USA & Japan's Amazon stores.

Even though this is "good news" there is always a small catch, the Gundam Unicorn Blu-rays that are available to order from Amazon UK are rather expensive at over £40 per disc, as shown below:

Gundam Unicorn - Volume 1 (Blu-ray) £40.49
Gundam Unicorn - Volume 2 (Blu-ray) £47.20

Even though the prices are "relatively" high its still cheaper than importing from Amazon USA or Amazon JAP, as the disc's ive seen so far are around the £40 mark which is 1) without postage and 2) subject to customs charge of an additional £15.

Ordering from Amazon UK would just the be the price listed (unless you wanted a faster postage service).

The good news doesn't stop their either as a new Gundam Unicorn - Volume 3 trailer has appeared on youtube, but this time its in English and features a pritty awesome theme song called "Merry-go-round" from CHEMISTRY, who have previously appeared in other anime tv shows.
