Hey justbarelymovin, great thread! I've visited it often.

I was wondering if you could e-mail me, I wanted to discuss something with you, and your e-mail is blocked.

Thanks,

-John

Of course! I guess it's pretty silly for me to have that blocked since I have tons of STL requests posted in the Share the Love subforum. My e-mail address is [email protected], so feel free to drop me a line.

Oh, and thanks for the kind words! I'm glad some people actually use this thread as a resource.

Someone posted this deal in the bn.com thread:

RahXephon Vol. 1 Collector's Box with T-Shirt $17.99

And here's a link to the thread with coupon codes.

I'm sure JustBarelyMovin (who I agree is doing a spectacular job) will post this later, but here's the new Rightstuf sale:

It's a frighteningly cold winter this year - lots of snow and ice. The good thing is that you won't be bored if you find yourself locked-up inside your warm home or apartment! Why? Because Bandai's breaking the winter blues with a big blast of savings! Bandai's got some really hot titles right now like Galaxy Angel, Gundam SEED, Scrapped Princess and Wolf's Rain! Plus, you may have missed out on wonderful titles like Love Hina, Please Teacher, and Witch Hunter Robin!

From now until 1/31, get 40% OFF Retail price on all Bandai DVDs and CDs!*

How? Just use the following reusable coupon code when you check out through our online store:

Coupon Code: blast
Expires: 1/31/05

Plus, if you're a Got Anime Member, you can use your membership throw on a warm, extra layer of savings!

Not sure what products are from Bandai? Use our Advanced Search Option to find everything they produce! Just check the box next to 'Publisher' and select 'Bandai' from the drop down menu.


Also new weekly specials, including Heat Guy J volumes 4 - 7 (without box) on sale for less than 40 bucks! Great deal, especially if you pick up volumes 1-3 at Bestbuy. Unfortunately, I picked up volume 7 with box and volume 4-6 separately. Even with Geneon coupon the volumes 4-6 came out to 50 bucks, and it just shipped yesterday! Urgh!

Well, with the Bandai deal, the Zeta box comes out to:

199 x .6 = 119.40!!!
With the 10% Got Anime Membership, it's down to 107.46! Even if you hate that they replaced the opening and ending themes with an instrumental for licensing reasons (which is a HUGE deal to some people), this is a must buy for old-school anime fans...

Gundam Seed comes out to 17.99 a volume (16.19 after GA discount) and you can preorder up to the end...

And the first volume of Scrapped Princess is also eligible, for those of you who want to be roped in to yet another volume 1 plus box that'll compel you to complete the whole series...

Even with the copious amounts of Geneon orders I've made in the last few months, I was still roped into ordering the remainder of Gundam Seed, Kikaider collection, and Banner of the Stars II collection. And I'm eyeing the dirt-cheap Gundam Wing (I need the last few volumes), both Big O collections, Scrapped Princess v. 1, Scryed complete collection, and others. Make it stop!!!

The only problem is that they are extremely slow in replacing the disc.
Hey, I e-mailed ADV right after I saw your post on this a while back, and I received a brand new disc (free of error, I'm assuming) today. So, I guess I don't even have to mail them my faulty disc? I'm thinking the reason they got it to me so quickly is because I live in Houston, where they're based, but who knows! Maybe you guys should e-mail them again and inquire about your missing discs.

Also, I've updated with all the latest deals, including some that weren't posted by you all. Thanks for keeping me posted. You guys are just as much a part of this collaboration as I am. I really appreciate all your hard work! Thanks!

Because of your post I just called my local FYE. They were able to get everything in my order except Gunsmith Cats. I'll eventually receive the Comic Party box set and Kino's Journey 1 through 4 DVD's with box.

This was posted in last month's bargain thread. But I'll add it to this month's just in case.

It's $14.99 at DDD with free shipping, so I think DDD is still overall a better deal.

As Jah-Wren Ryel stated, this is cheaper at DDD.

Also $14.99 at DDD with free shipping.

$24.00 at DDD with free shipping.

This does appear to be the best deal, so I'll go ahead and add this to the update.

This is $41.98 at DDD with free shipping, so definitely a better deal there.

After Bandai/Manga botched up all three previous LE volumes of GITS, I'd be hesitant about preordering the fourth...

In other news the New Astro Boy Collection has been announced for March 29th at a price of $50. However you can pre-order it from Amazon for $35.

Astro Boy Collection - $35

The collection contains fifty episodes. Half have been aired and the oher half haven't. That's seventy cents an episode!

Hey, Fujishig, what errors are you referring to? After blowing ALL my money on anime, I've been keeping a pretty low profile, so I wasn't aware of any of these errors you mentioned. As I definitely plan on getting these, any help would be appreciated.

Best,

-B

It should also be noted that this probably wont include the japanese language track for those that care about that.
