Depends. Certain vendors hold sales 4x/yr and discounted box sets are less pricey than interval released DVD at time of series intro into our hot little mits. I like quality production as much as the next person but I will let price be a determiner if series is re-released: original set collector price versus "anime legends" newbie price. I will buy individual DVD when available if multi-dvd series is OOP; though time-consuming sometimes it's less costly to shop the electronic venues (ebay, Amazon, etc) and slowly assemble the set versus capitulate and pay commoditized collector price (which, once opened for viewing, is no longer "worth" what you paid for it).
