Bakemonogatari Release Mix Up
MVM have contacted Anime UK News with information surrounding a mix up of discs with its newest release Bakemonogatari. Due to a mistake at the manufacturer, early copies of Bakemonogatari have been shipped containing discs for Shana. In a statement, MVM said:
“Unfortunately our manufacturers packed the wrong discs (Shana) into the Bakemonogatari Pt1 box.
This was spotted a week before release date but some stock had already shipped to major mail order retailers. Although these retailers have been advised of a product recall some units may have shipped to customers. Any customer receiving this product should seek a refund from their retailer.
Bakemononogatari Pt 1 will now be released on 1st July with new barcode and catalogue number (MVD2324). This is the only way to ensure bad stock does not get mixed with new good stock.
This only effects mail order retailers as bad stock was stopped in time before going to high street stores such as HMV.
Apologies for any inconvenience. This has been something of a nightmare for us too.”
Just to reiterate MVM’s statement, some of the recently released Bakemonogatari DVD sets have the wrong discs. The easiest way to spot if you have the right release is to make sure that the spine of the case has the code MVD2324. If you find the wrong code then you should seek a refund from the retailer.
