Went ahead and place the order at Buy.com too. After budget shipping, total came out to $19.75.

Buy.com also has another Bandai title, Jin-Roh , for just $16.87. I don't know if it's the movie only version or the deluxe version, but the box cover art is for the deluxe version. Someone might want to take a shot on this title along with the Escaflowne title so that the order will meet the requirement of $25 to qualify for free shipping.

Does anyone know if the upcoming Escaflowne boxset contains the ultimate edition or not?

Ahhhhh!!! Now why couldn't you have posted that before I placed my order. I spent a good half hour looking for a filler item to take me over that $25 threshold.

I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that it is the single disc movie only version. Amazon has it listed as a 9 disc set which would mean the 8 discs from the series and the 1 disc for the movie. I also believe that it is going to be released as a brick instead of a box set.

It's definitely the 1-disc version. The description says "keepcase" (SE is a digipack with a plastic slipcover) and it doesn't mention about the soundtrack CD that comes with the SE.

Still, not a bad deal for a good movie + free shipping if you wanted to get something else with the Esca UE.

Gasaraki is different. I liked it but I'd rate it a C/C- on a letter grade scale. I fell asleep during several episodes since it gets really slow at points. There is one really cool part throughout the whole series and sadly, it doesn't happen again. /sigh

You can't beat that price though, I picked it up over college last year for that price.

Gamestop 2 for 3 deal. Stopped by my local Software Etc today and noticed they priced their dvds UP to go with this 'sale'. Twelve Kingdoms used to be $15.99 and now it's $24.99. That seemed to happen to quite a few titles, so it isn't as nice as it sounds since you can just grab 3 titles from DDD for the same price.

Checked another K-mart last night, they had 4 different Vols os Gasaraki, but I figured if i decide to get it a rightstuf special for the whole set would be better. THe only Rahxephon they had was vol 2 so it loosk like the odds of finding any other volume of that series, or any other series for that matter are pretty slim.

I'm not sure if this is a good or a bad sign. Buy.com has shipped the manga I ordered to make my order eligable for free shipping. The Escaflowne movie is listed as processing. Atleast it hasn't been canceled yet.

Deepdiscountdvd now has the Last Exile 3 pack(volumes 1, 2 and 3) for just $37.43 shipped. Unfortunately, it is currently out of stock. Great deal for a great series.

The 3-pack of Last Exile is definitely not a bad deal at $12.67/ea. shipped since I doubt we'll ever see a price as low as the Best Buy misprice a few months back.

At $23/ea. for the new volume releases, I think I'll wait and see if Geneon/Pioneer releases another 3-pack for volumes 4,5, and 6 at the discounted price.

Updated with new bargain madness & weekly specials. Hopefully the links are right. I didn't get any sleep last night, and I've been at school all day. Add the unbearable TX heat to that, and you can imagine how disoriented I am right now.

FWIW, BCG 2040 is being re-released in a cheap "Essential Anime" version for a lot less than this Perfect Collection price.

Not surprising, although I'm kinda picky. I hate the way the essential anime covers look. Anyway, thanks for the heads up.

I'm almost pretty content with my anime collection!

Went to Suncoast today and saw a special they're having on Geneon Signature Series dvds. It's a buy one get one free deal and each dvd is priced at $19.99. Not too shabby in my opinion.

I think I saw that it has a remastered 5.1 soundtrack too.
It didn't say if it was for the Japanese or the dub.
I wonder what else is different?

Just checked my Esca. order at Buy.com again, and now it's showing as "On Order." I guess that's better than canceled, but I've had Buy.com forget about a previous DVD order that was backordered for 6 months, until I remembered and emailed them about it.
