I don't think there is a 4-7 pack, Rightstuf just bundled them together (they actually just put volumes 4-6 in the box that 7 came in).

I meant to mention this yesterday, but new lowest price on Revolutionary Girl Utena: Black Rose Saga Collection as a result of a price drop. One more set to go (I think?), and getting the entire set at a decent price wouldn't be too difficult, especially if you wait for the DDD 20% off sale.

The $5.99 was a 1 day sale. It was the usual $11.99 with a 1 day sale of an extra 50% off of all clearance. The new every day price is $8.39 and if they have another 50% off of all clearance, then it would be $4.20.

How is the Utena Black Rose Collection compared to the first collection? I generally liked the first one, but I hated how they blatantly reused long segments of animation in a lot of the episodes (and I also hated that little rat with big ears).

Had my ADV order arrive today -- everything was in great shape: no floaters as far as I can tell and the holes are much smaller than I'd expected (more like someone pricked the plastic over the UPC rather than drilling a hole in it).

Dunno what the prob is. I just e-mailed you, and I checked my blocked addresses to make sure yours wasn't on there, and it wasn't, so maybe it's something on your end again? Anyway, try hitting me back. Hopefully it'll work this time!

I don't know if my local Hot Topic is just weird or what, but they've been having the "50% Off All Clearance" sale almost every other Saturday it seems, including today...checked on the Samurai Champloo tin...was marked at $11.00 or so here, making it $5.50 with the 50% off...I passed on it, because I have yet to see most of the series, and didn't want to start at Vol. 6 or whatev.
Did pick up a Trigun Maximum figure and Street Fighter: Balrog figure for $3.50 a pop. Sweetness. Now my high-quality Sota brand Balrog can fight my low-quality Jazwares brand Ryu.

Astro Boy (2003 series) $20.74 @Overstock
If this is a repost, I apologize.
I was looking for deal of the 1980 Astro Boy series but bumped into this awesome deal of Astro Boy 2003 series.
Overstock Link
It's more than $15 lower than other online prices.
I've never seen this series and I appreciate someone give a comparism to the 1980 series.

Also, since Hot Topic seems to be YMMV, I'm just going to leave the Samurai Champloo Vol. 6 (LE tin) at what it currently is, but that might be a good tip for people to look into.

I don't know if it's dead at the Best Buy B&M, but the prices have gone back up online for the recent Best Buy deals. Damn, I really wanted to get the FMP-Fumoffu Volume 1 with box for $11.99.

Spotted the new 2-Disc DVD Ranma OAVs Boxset at BestBuy today (notorious for always breaking the release date). Price marked at $36.99, or about $26 with the 30% off coupon. Very nice episodes, highly recommended. Cheap snap-case design, but the set includes some collectible postcards.
Bestbuy.com linky (Not 4 discs, and still priced $44.99 online)

Of the 3 Best Buys that i frequent, none of them had the Animerica book with the coupon out until today. Brilliant strategy from BB, wait to make the coupon avaiable until the day after it expires!
