Gundam Wing on UK video
=======================

A UK video release for Gundam Wing is now being listed as forthcoming by
various on-line video retailers. According to the listings, two volumes
of 75 minutes each will be release on 10th December priced at £11.99 each.

I have been unable to uncover any other details about the release. It is
not even known which company is releasing the tapes, although it seems
most likely that Bandai is organising it themselves.
