This one-of-a-kind release will include:

• The complete 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist TV series (51 episodes) on Blu-ray with both the English dub and original Japanese audio with subtitles.

• It will come in unique packaging that is an impressive replica of “The Gate” from Fullmetal Alchemist. It will be made from Resin and limited to 1,000 in the world!

• There will also be a 280-page large sized artwork artbook (26cm x 26cm) that will be shipped along with ‘The Gate’ in a custom mailing box.

• There will also be two Rigid Cases and digipacks to store the entire series. In addition to this each case will 7 art cards making it a total of 14 art cards that are included.

• On-disc extras:
  • Episode Commentaries
  • The Transmutation of a Phenomenon: An Inside Look
  • Japanese Commercial
  • L’Arc~en~Ciel ”Ready Steady Go” Video
  • Ura Hagane: Comedic Previews
  • Textless Songs

• PRE-ORDER EXCLUSIVE BONUS: Each pre-order for the Fullmetal Alchemist Ultimate Edition Blu-ray set will come with a personalised certificate of their enrolment into the Amestris Army as a State Alchemist with their name and alchemist title, as assigned by King Bradley showing their serial number for the release too.

It is expensive yes, but we are the only country in the whole world who are producing a set like this for the series. It’s being made with high quality materials, contains 51 episodes compared to our usual ultimate editions which at most had 27 episodes and 2 movies, hence the higher price.

However, this is only the Suggested Retail Price (SRP). It does reflect what this will actually be sold for as there are retailer discounts to add to this.

Given this is the most ambitious release we have ever planned, we are sparing no expense when it comes to shipping. The entire set will be packed in bespoke packaging to hold everything in place, and then there will be a whole other box around that.

• From AllTheAnime.com shipping will be absolutely free.
• From Zavvi.com shipping to the UK will be free as well.

There are only 1,000 units of these being produced. So ultimately (no pun intended) it will depend on whether all the units were all pre-ordered or not.

Should there be any additional units remaining, these will not be exclusive to AllTheAnime.com and Zavvi.com. They will be available at other retailers who will stock it. The SRP will still be £299.99, minus respective retailer discounts. Obviously until we know how many pre-orders there have been, we can’t answer this question definitively at the time of writing (May 2016).

 Yes there will be a regular Anime Limited Collector’s edition Blu-ray set. It will be available over two parts. You may have noticed earlier on we mentioned there would be two rigid cases and digipacks, that’s because the Ultimate Edition comes with both halves.

More details to follow soon but expect SRP to be at least £69.99, making the pre-order special for the Ultimate Edition not an unattractive offer!
