Then actually pay those prices just to sub them for free. Unfortunately it isn't entirely cost effective in most cases :(

About as much as any Super Sentai pre-Gao. IE: not all of it.

Wow and I thought boxset prices were crazy in my country! (that makes me sound like I'm from the third world or something, haha).

How come DVDs are so expensive in Japan?

People in Japan don't tend to buy DVD's of sentai very often. So when they are released they're usually pretty limited. Which means less people get them, it's like a cycle that feeds on itself unfortunately. Check out Mandarake some time and see the crazy prices sentai DVD's go for. Here's a great example. Shinkenger DVD set for 60,000 yen! That's $627!

And that is a recent iteration as well, so I'm guessing those missing ones from the 90s and early 00s are probably going at....well those prices are already insane, so I don't know, deranged prices? Haha.

At least I can understand why so much is missing now.
