There is one thing that anime and manga companies love about Otaku.  Not that they are reliable consumers of their product, that is a given, no it is the fact that if you include some sort of fairly inexpensive to make trinket and call it a special edition they are all over it.  I am guilty of this just like so many others.  It has an art box that holds all the discs?  Who cares that is five or ten dollars more. forgetting in that moment that the vox probably cost them all of thirty or forty cents to make.  Now that is not always the case of course, the Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex SE's gave you alotfor your money, and ditto the SE's of Haruhi Suzumiya, FULLMETAL Alchemist and Eureka Seven.  It doesn't bother me though, I gave in and accepted it a long time ago.  I am looking forward to the first Bleach DVD box set, and yes I will be getting the special edition with the chain snatch wallet, just like I will be getting the Naruto Shadow Box that comes with the manga volumes 25,26 and 27.  Sometimes it is better to not fight these things and just roll with them.  Pictures of one of those aforementioned trinkets, the mini figure of the Major that came with the GitS SAC 2^nd Gig SE volume seven along with a soundtrack and a tin to hold all the DVD's.
