VHS doesn't count, it's a defunct format, and in addition VHS fansubs are too scarce to find. Dismissing a request for a modern fansub of this is like dismissing someone's request for an mp3 of 70's era funk because "there are still some 8 tracks of that floating around".
Additionally, it's almost a decade since 1996... cars a decade old or more are considered classics if theyre in good condition.
Finally: revolution is probably the tie-in OVA which makes the Gall Force saga a truly "eternal" series. Adjectives such as "boring" are subjective. There are die-hard fans of the saga who'd like to see it subbed (like me), and considering it's only 4 eps I honestly didn't think the L-E team would consider it too much trouble.
Of course if it's a matter of financing I have no trouble financing the R2 purchase.
