How long does it usually take before a show is re-released as a complete collection?

It seems that many shows are released in parts, and then subsequently re-released as a package (complete collection). I'm wondering if this usually happens within some general time period, or if it just happens "eventually"?

The reason I'm asking is because I'm considering purchasing Penguindrum, and wondering if I should wait for a complete collection release. Thanks!

i was thinking about pickin that up too but i think was 60 bucks for part 1? and part 2 is probaly gona be around the same price. ur better off waiting for a complete collection release. and does happen "eventually" there really is no timetable for it

42 days, weeks, months or years, which one depends on the series.

I suggest getting it now. I think it usually takes about a year before they do that. But if you're desperate to save 30 or 40 bucks then I guess it's worth the wait.

If it's around or less than a year, I'm willing to wait. Thanks for the info, guyz.

They're released as soon as you buy the parts. Had that happen WAY too many times. -_-

I swear my friend just picked up Penguindrum the collection a week ago, in fact, he's lending it to me.

I can't decide if I should delete this thread, or leave it in case someone uses the search function properly sometime in the future. Decisions, decisions...

It's probably just the first half.
