"Gift Certificates, Make Up!"
Pioneer To Delay Dubbed Versions
Pioneer Entertainment has changed the release of the 3 dubbed animated "Sailormoon"
features to the year 2000. (We expect a release early in the year.) Suggested retail prices
have been set at US$14.98 for the VHS releases and $29.98 for the DVD releases. The subtitled
VHS versions are expected to be released as scheduled in August.
We believe that the delay is because of additional commitments made by the parties involved.
This change could impact Pioneer's overall sales as November/December is the number one sales
period for Home Video Releases. The change might increase the sales of other Pioneer releases
for the Holidays with "Sailormoon" left slugging it out in the normally dead (but less
competitive) January/February period.
As with the delayed "Sailor Moon Role-Playing Game and Resource Book," the SOS advocates fans
preorder the releases or makeup their own gift certificates to give as presents for the
Holidays.
Here is the latest cover art proposed for the Subtitled Version of the "Sailormoon-R" feature.
