Best Places to Get Zatoichi and Hanzo the Razor

[Flashlegstan2009]

Well i recently picked up the Blu Ray edition of the Lone Wolf and Cub series aswell as Shogun assassin and i have been looking at to pick up these for a while but whenever i see them they are in the likes of £40-£50 ?

Do anyone know where the best place is to find the movies/series of Zatoichi the cheapest on dvd not blu-ray ?

Any help appreciated

The earliest Zatoichi (Janus) you can find on Hulu for free. However, the DVDs are OOP and getting more and more expensive. The later ones are owned by Animego and you can find them on Animego's site and NOW is a good time to get them since they are on sale NOW.

Note when getting the HVE/Janus Zatoichi films used, check to make sure there is an insert essay as well as an insert mini-poster (not sure if all of them had it). The Hanzo Janus set is also OOP.

I'm hoping Criterion would put out a Zatoichi set, but I've heard nothing about it.
