   Occasionally, Anime Depot will have a random boxset in stock.  The same   
   for Amazon (not stores, but actually Amazon.com itself).  At least for   
   awhile, Anime Depot and Anime Nation both had the singles available,   
   which is how I ended up getting mine because I missed a boxset of S by   
   one week each way at Anime Depot. :p  Now to figure out a way to make my   
   own pretty boxset.  This can only end in tears...   
      
   There's also eBay.  Sometimes, you can still find the new items, but of   
   course you have to slosh through a hundred pages of bootlegs to find the   
   one legit copy. ^^;   
      
   And yes, the rights to all of Sailor Moon are currently expired in the   
   US.  Toei decided not to relicense, and part of the reason was they were   
   holding onto a few titles because they were trying to start doing their   
   own distribution in North America.  Their attempt (I can't remember   
   which shows they released...need to scan ANN again) was miserable, and   
   they're apparently licking their wounds.  Whether or not they'll license   
   out the show, what Takeuchi's part is in all of this, and whether anyone   
   actually wants it remain to be seen.  However, Tokyopop did report that   
   they would like to find a way to get the manga back over here.  I can't   
   remember if that was at AX or AnimeNext, but it can be found on ANN   
   (Anime News Network).
