Just don't blame Godzilla

Sometimes the littlest things set me off.  Today one of those little things set me off.
For those of you who may not know I'm kind of a Godzilla fan.  Not the greatest in the world, but fan enough.  I've been buying these DVD's released by Classic Media.  Really cool with original Japanese and dubbed english versions.  A few weeks ago they announced a box set being released 11-20 containing seven movies.
Wait...they've only released five.  What's up?
Finally tonight (or at least in the last 2-3 days) they've updated their official Godzilla site to say that the two that haven't been released yet will only be available in this box.
I did the only 2 things I could do:
1.  Bitched about it to my wife.  That solved nothing since she said, and I quote, "I don't care."
2.  Fired off e-mails to everyone whose addresses I could find at Classic Media.  It was ten.  But someone's auto responder said he had quit and gave me someone else's name.
Now I'm just waiting to find out what the official story is. 
Whilst we wait, you and I, enjoy the following...a copy of the e-mail I sent:

Hello:
When it was announced that Classic Media was releasing the original
Gojira on DVD I was ecstatic.  Finally someone smart enough and willing
to do what should have been done years ago.
Then Classic Media announced that all the Godzilla films in their
library would get the same treatment.  I was elated.
Today Classic Media officially bitch-slapped me by letting me know (via GodzillaonDVD.com)
that the last two movies I have been waiting for
them to release are available only in the box set coming out Tuesday.
WHAT THE FUCK!?
Is this the way you thank those of us who have been buying your product
all along?  By telling us to stick whatever we already bought up our
collective asses since the only way to complete our collection is to
re-purchase what we already have?
Who is the marketing genius who advised you to completely alienate
those of us who have been faithfully buying your product?  His ass
needs to get kicked and then fired.
Please can someone give me some answers?  I eagerly await your
response.  So does my blog.
