I think I’ve now seen proof of a rounded-slipped copy of Cyber City Oedo 808 in a blurry photo on a Japanese auction site (and of course I forgot to save it before the page went down)

This almost certainly means another stealth re-release is out there. If you stumble across a copy, post pictures!

It appears that Discotek did stealth updates to the non-Steelbook release of Angel Cop (and maybe Cyber City Oedo 808). It now ships with the Remastered disc out of the Steelbook. Far as I can tell, only way to tell it apart is a rounded slipcover and not saying "Enhanced from SD" on the back

The specific itemis this guy. I already have two of em. I got em used off Facebook marketplace a few years ago for even cheaper than this one... but they were light on shelves. I'd LOVE to get more shelves just to make them a little denser.

I... don't think my older ones are Prepac brand, though.

That leaves me with MORE questions to ask.
1) does the shuttered factory in British Columbia have leftover stock?
2) They're owned by a private equity firm. That firm has an email address, so maybe I can ask THEM for shelves.
3) does anyone else actually make this stuff to the same spec/dimensions

I also asked if Prepact had external suppliers that I could buy from. I think that's a fair question, since we're on a global supply chain.

But I also googled, and Prepact is a victim of the trump tariff wars. They recently moved manufacturing from BC to NC. www.furnituretoday.com/tariffs/furn...

Canadian furniture supplier Prepac has reportedly shut down its manufacturing operations in British Columbia, shifting all production to its facility in North Carolina instead.

1) fair enough, I got it off facebook marketplace. But can I get a list of authorized resellers? There isn't one on the website! Maybe they have some dead stock they can sell to me.

2) Why no replacement sales? Is it a question of scale? Or does the company only do manufacture-on-demand? -->

The manufacturer, Prepact (prepactmfg.com) won't issue me replacements, either. It's a third party sale, so my item isn't covered under their warranty since I didn't buy via an authorized reseller. Also, they won't sell me replacements either.

This leads me to more questions. Such as -->

Okay, this is getting interesting.

First of all, the seller hasn't found the lost shelves yet. The frame that they sold me is in great shape, and I am pretty sure I can just cut shelves for it (I am nervous about this, I'm a lousy craftsman) if I need to. Caveat emptor, and all that. But...

i get it home, and the only thing missing... are the 34 shelves. ahahaha, sasuga facebook marketplace.

I think I'll be made whole one way or another, but sheeeeeesh 😆

Mike Toole @miketoole.com · Sep 5

i'm at the point where I'm trying to rearrange my home video shelves to squeeze out a little more capacity. what if I just need MORE shelves for my existing cabinets? the holes in the sides are drilled, I have pegs to rest on... do I just have them milled somewhere...??
