Sorry for the double post...

anyway, to make up for that, I visited target today and found two or three new anime dvds for 28.99. The labels were there and everything. So much for Target deals...

OOoOooOOo... This thread just got "stickied" :up: :up:

:cool: I will update with Right Stuf's new weekly specials after school today. Good thing I'm still awake!

Okay, I updated!

Gamestop is having a 50% off all their new anime DVD's. Their trying to get rid their entire stock of anime DVD's so some chains might not have much left.

Thank you muchly. I updated with your bit of news!

odd; i just called several gamestops and they told me it's buy 2 get 1 free, not 50% off...

The buy 2 get 1 free ended this week and the 50% off started yesterday so maybe the person isn't aware of the sale. I had to tell the guy it was 50% off cause he rung it up at regular price.

Does anyone know if the 50% discount applies to the online stores? I couldn't find anything at the stores I checked out.

Thanks,

Checked out the gamestop around my work today. They're running the 50% off anime deal, but the store was cleaned out. Only had a few vol of Saiyuki, X and a few other.

In-store only. They are trying to clear their anime inventory and stop carrying it.

Do you know when the sale ends? My nearest Gamestop doesn't seem to carry anime anymore. I may have to hit the big town this coming weekend. They would most likely have been cleaned out by then :)

I checked the local GameStop yesterday, but they only have one big used DVD section with all kinds of DVDs, anime mixed in. But there was no indication that the anime DVDs were 50% off. Is it 50% off the used DVD price, or what?

I don't really shop at GameStop, so I don't know if they normally have new DVDs or only used ones, or what :) But the sticker prices on the (used) anime seemed to be in the range of $9.99-$12.99. So I was wondering if it was 50% off that price. I should've asked there, but I was in a hurry. D'oh. :)

I don't really know how long Gamestop will be having the sale. As mentioned they're trying to get rid of the remainder of their stock of anime DVD's at all the stores.

It's only good for new anime DVD's.

I used the DDD's 10% off coupon to pre-order Gundam Zeta LE Box Set for $108 shipped. Best price I can find so far.

Thanks, updated!

The code expired early this morning.

If anyone is considering buying the limited edition Escaflowne box set from Rightstuf, you might want to reconsider. I just received mine and it arrived in perfect shape. However, this set is supposed to be limited to 10,000 units and my set has a serial number of 12,365. I just e-mailed Rightstuf to find out why my set isn't numbered between 1 and 10,000. If this set is not limited, I would rather pick up the Perfect Collection that comes out next week at DDD for less money. I'll update this post after I hear back from Rightstuf.

That sucks...keep up updated. i'm expecting my one in soon, too.

I was wrong about the number. It is 12,345, not 12,365. 12345 seems a little fishy to me. I'll keep you updated.

Ah, you see it was actually a 12,350 copy limited edition!

There's nothing wrong with that. Bandai has made more LE's in the past as was the case with Cowboy Bebop and now with SMJ UC. IIRC the Escaflowne box set first run was increased because demand was high. (to bad retailers still had them instock for a long time)

What's the point of a limited edition if they crank out more copies because of demand? There's even a note on the box that states that once they are gone, they are gone. I know that Anchor Bay has a habit of doing this as well. Even if Bandai produced more copies, Rightstuf claims that it is limited to 10,000 units in their product description. I will be returning this and I'll get the Perfect Collection that comes out next week. Thanks for the replies.:)

I thought Escaflown LE was originally limited to 15,000. Cowboy Bebop LE was initially limited to 10,000 and then 5,000 more were made due to demands. After that, 15,000 seems to be magic number for their LEs.

This was why I asked this earlier.

Initial release was limited to 10,000... I agree with -SPJ-, there's no point of releasing a LE when more is made because of demand. I didn't find any news of Bandai bumping it up to 15,000. All the sites list this product to be limited to 10,000.
