At first, some people thought they might be getting the equivalent in first-press bonuses to an entire Ringo BoX, as if there wasn't supposed to be any point in buying a Ringo BoX on its own for 3500yen.
Don't you think your expectations might be a little too high for a
first-press? You are judging its 'worth' as if it were priced as same as a "special edition". Electric Mole had a differently-priced you-get-what-you-pay-for edition. Heisei Fuuzoku had differently-priced you-get-what-you-pay-for editions. Were you expecting to end up with something astronomically better than what later buyers are going to get for the same price?
Dynamite Out had the only first-press to feature significantly
more packaging rather than merely
different packaging. Guess what came with it? An outer box that was pretty much empty aside from the fact that a Dynamite Out jewelcase was filling up half of the maximum space. It could unquestionably be said that the first-pressing of Ringo Expo gave you more of a bonus than
that.
If you want a lot more eyecandy and/or information than what first-press gave you, that's what the separate -eye- packages are for. I've kept trying to tell people this, even before anyone found out how 'disappointing' the first-press bonuses were - but the message doesn't seem to be getting through to quite everyone.
