Simitar factory sealed Godzilla DVD; is this a good deal?


I kinda already know the answer to this already, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't getting shortchanged or anything. I just won an ebay auction for a mint condition, factory sealed Simitar DVD copy of Godzilla Vs Monster Zero for $12, and when including $3 S&H, comes to a grand total of $15. Would this be a good deal? Also, for those who own this DVD, I've read and heard differentiating reviews on the video and audio quality. Could someone please tell me what they think from their own copy?

@GodzFire:

I agree with James' review. The DVD is not really that good, but at the moment it's the best you can get outside of Japan.

I was fortunate enough to get it for roughly the same price. I can't add much to what has already been said, it's not horrible quality or anything, but, it's not pristine, either. The trivia quiz thing does some amusing things when you answer the questions.

I'm glad to hear that I did find a deal then and yes you have to love Astronaut Glen. Maybe it's because he's American, but he totally went with this movie.

I suppose you're right, but since I am not a native English speaker it ... uhm, how shall I explain? ... well, it does not sound to me as it does to you ... though I can understand it, I am probably missing lots of nuances ... which is somewhat sad, because I understand that many American fans love these old dubs and I very much sympathize with that, because I also love the old German dubs of the 1960's and 1970's. They're something special.
