5.0 out of 5 stars Read before making the investment.
Fullmetal Alchemist is arguably one of the most well developed stories since the beginning of time. Everything about the series is perfect. This box set, though nice, is not.The boxing is perfect. It's colorful, durable, and just looks and feels awesome. It has a handle to let you pick up and carry its heavy self around. It also has a velcro cover that you can open to reveal all the books hidden inside, and seal em back in once you're done. The box is just awesome overall. The only bad side to it, is that the velcrow that holds the flap comes off fairly easy, and you'll probably have to hot glue it to the box to keep it from coming off. Now to the manga.This is the point where I became slightly disappointed in the package. The mangas are new edition prints for the most part, but Viz did not fix the few translation/other errors from previous issues. By translation issues, I mean translating some of the character names wrong (In one manga it's spelled Dr. Knox, in another other it's Dr. Knocks ect...) The prints decided to use Ishbal as the translation for Ishval too (I was hoping they'd fix this translation in the boxset because Ishval is the correct translation). Besides name inconsistencies, some names are butchered. Xerxes in the manga is a mess of a word that's something like Cselcesse now. There are a decent amount of typos in the manga too, which I can't understand how they still exist in the newest prints. Randomly words will be missing, and blank space will take their place. The words are for the most part easy to predict, so you basically know what should be there, but that's not very professional. Also, there's a time where Edward calls Alphonse Ed. Don't they read the translations before they ship em haha?Note that the more serious vocal profanities are censored. Those words are replaced with random assortments of symbols like $%&#! "Because I'm #%$&ing Greed!" is an example of when it was used. It kind of ruins the professionalism of the series, but it's in no way a deal-breaker. I must commend Viz on realizing that this boxset is solely for hardcore fans though; They no longer censored the greed on a crucifix scene. Besides an assortment of various typos/translation messups, the actual set is pretty good. The manga itself is so good, that you'll probably ignore Viz's somewhat inconsistent job.Overall, I think the boxset is worth it. Though, Viz didn't put enough time into fixing previous mistakes (I say they should have contacted Ms. Arakawa for the correct English translations like Mel Bay did with Fairy Tail), new fans won't notice much, but may get confused by some name inconsistencies in the manga. The physical quality of the set is great! Looks awesome in my room, and it's super easy to grab and put away the chapters without dust getting in!At a much cheaper price then other sites, get it at Bolo!
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazon broke the Law of Equivalent Exchange... in a GOOD way!
I titled my review this because the box set is completely awesome, and it's at least $60 cheaper than the other sites I browsed (at the time of release). It's certainly cheaper than buying all 27 volumes individually!What you get, and comments about each:(If I seem to nitpick, then sorry, but I like to be extremely specific and thorough, letting you know precisely what I received.)I. All 27 Volumes of the Fullmetal Alchemist Manga in Paperback--1. These aren't new editions or anything, they're the same versions you can already purchase individually from VizMedia, but all in one set for one heck of a price! The set also includes Volume 27, which has yet to be relased by itself. (UPDATE 1/8/12: IN THE COMMENTS, SOMEONE HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSLATIONS AND IMAGES ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN SOME PLACES COMPARED TO THE INDIVIDUAL COPIES YOU CAN PURCHASE FROM THE SAME PUBLISHER. I HAD NO IDEA, AND I APOLOGIZE IF THIS MISLED ANYONE!)--2. Three or four of my books had EXTREMELY tiny, extra pieces of the cover hanging off of the corners on the spines of the books. It's kind of annoying just knowing they're there, but I'm guessing it's normal for paperbacks. But believe me, it's probably not even worth mentioning.--3. The first 3 books have holographic covers, and the rest do not.--4. They're right-to-left style, to preserve the orientation of Arakawa's original artwork. I'm an American and have been reading left-to-right my entire life, but I, personally, haven't had an issue with this. I THOUGHT I would, but I simply haven't.II. A 2-Sided Poster--1. Both sides can be viewed on this product's homepage in the photo section.--2. It's folded in fourths, so there's creases. I have mine hung up though and it looks good to me. I barely-to-don't recognize the creases.--3. Approximately 10"w x 15"h.III. The Light Novel "The Ties that Bind"--1. I'm honestly not sure what this is. I did a little research and I guess it's a novelization of some of the manga chapters?... I really don't know. It IS a novel though, meaning pages full of paragraphs of words. There's only like 3 pages with actual pictures.IV. The Box Itself--1. Approximately the size of the poster, and 5 inches deep.--2. Has 2 shelves (one above the other) that house the books quite snugly. It's kinda hard to get them out sometimes.--3. Has a hinged "door" that protects the books from dust when closed, stays shut with small velcro circles on the right side, and has a handle on top making it much easier to carry around.--4. You can see the outside design of the box on this product's home page. The inside of the box is basically the same design as the back of the box.--5. My box arrived with a few small creases and dents in it, but I suppose this is practically unavoidable when shipping across country.--6. I'd have preferred a horizontally-orientated version of the box and its contents, but it's a very nice box nonetheless, I must say.Overall, this product is definitely well worth its price and worthy of being passed down the Armstrong line for generations!!!

Geniales Preis-Leistung Verhältnis
Ich habe vor über einem Jahr diese Box für den unschlagbaren Preis von 129€ erhalten. Sie enthält alle 27 Bänder, eine Novel und ein kleines Poster.Zu dem Manga an sich, brauche ich glaube ich nicht viel zu sagen. Es geht um zwei Brüder, die ihre, durch ein missglücktes Experiment entstellten Körper, wieder herstellen wollen. Ein spannender Manga, und trotz der länge von 27 Bänder ist kein einziges Kapitel Füllmaterial. Alles steht in einen Gesamtzusammenhang. Dies macht den Manga wirklich genial und spannend.Für den damaligen Preis lohnt sich die Box wirklich, weil man im Gegensatz zu den Deutschen bzw. Englischen Einzelbändern eine Menge Geld spart.Bei dem Wikipedia Artikel steht, das im englischen eine Stelle mit einer Kreuzigung zensiert wurde. Dies ist bei den Bänden in dieser Box nicht der Fall.Das einzige negative an der Box ist, ist dass sie mit zwei Klettverschlüssen zugehalten werde. Der Klettverschluss ist einfach auf die Pappe geklebt und bei mir mittlerweile abgefallen und selbst mit Sekundenkleber hält das bei mir nicht mehr. Aber das ist eher ein kleines Manko.Der Preis schwankt bei Bolo stark, momentan ist die Box bei 190€. Also lohnt es sich abzuwarten, ob der Preis noch einmal fällt. (die Box wird in den USA für den halben Preis angeboten, da kann man auf einen Preisfall hoffen)
