Both of those items have the same UPC number. I highly doubt that this will go through, but it can't hurt to order since this is a legit site.

It won't go through, or I get something different, but what is life without gambles

FYI, DVD Planet is running the same B1G1 sale as well!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I PLACED 2 ORDERS @ DDD:

GHOST IN THE SHELL 2ND SEASON V.6 (LE): $29.99
NEON GENESIS EVANGELION MOVIES (2-DISC): $0.00

ASTRO BOY COLLECTION BOX SET (8-DISC): $23.99
MACROSS PLUS (2-DISC): $0.00

I HAD TO DO SEPARATE ORDERS OTHERWISE THEY WOULD HAVE CHARGED ME $59.98.
2 ORDERS: $53.98 ($29.99 + $23.99); A DIFFERENCE OF $6.00 IF I PLACED THEM ALL IN ONE ORDER!

Is the Astri Boy set the one with the extra episode? I remember there was 2 box sets and one was better than the other. But i dont know which was which.

Also is Virus Buster any good? I've been wanting to get it for some time. Cause the guy that worked one this also worked on Fatal Fury. But never really read anything if it was any good.

I ordered the Gundam Wing Set. I spent the extra three dollars for next day delivery. Hopefully that'll mean if they actually have any I'll get mine shipped ASAP before they sell out.

I did get in on the Saniako set when they sold that for twenty-ish and it listed for $80.

Excellent. I was able to round out my GitS:2nd Gig collection and pick up Dawn of the Dead. Thanks, OP!

The Astro Boy set (1980) is 8-Disc and contains 51 episodes.
- DVD Features: Storyboard Sequences, Original Art and Manga Galleries, Deleted Scenes, Character Profiles, 24-page Collector's Booklet.
- Spoken Languages: English, Japanese, English subtitles

There is another older Astro Boy series originated from 1963; there are 2 boxset releses for this series however it's English dubbed only.


As for Virus Buster, I have never seen it, but the reviews are rather below average: AOD Review & ANN Review.

Thanks for the info.

I'll get Astro Boy and maybe Virus Buster.

Thanks for reminding me about DVD Planet(I always seem to forget that they are connected with DDD). DVD Planet actually has cheaper prices than DDD on some items(Evil Dead 2 is $19.99 at DVD Planet, it's $23.99 at DDD). DVD Planet also has coupons to sweeten the deal-

AUGUST2006 $5 off of $60
BTS2006 $7 off of $80
PREAUG2006 $10 off of $125.


EDIT: DVD Planet is also higher than DDD on some items. For example, the Hunter sets are $23.95 at DVD Planet whereas they are $17.99 at DDD. You just have to compare the two sites to see what works out to be the best deal.

Glad I held off on GIS 2nd Gig during the 20% sale. At $7.50 a disc, it can't be beat.

For the time being. I would imagine that we'll see a box set of all 7 DVDs from the second season in the near future. DDD has the box set of season 1 up for preorder. The price is $60, which means that it will be $48 during the next sale. I would imagine a box set for season 2 would be similarly priced. Even though it's tough to pass on a good, current deal, I'm going to hold off for the eventual box set(hopefully it'll be out for the June '07 sale).

Wow, thanks for posting that, SBJ. I was considering buying all the LEs, but it's just not monetarily feasible at this point. I wouldn't mind just buying both of the box sets in the future, even if they are bricks or something. That makes me happy. Okay, time for bed!

Well, the box set will be cheaper. Personally, I can't pass up on the bad ass tin vol 7 is coming with.

Saw this over at CAG. Overstock.com has a coupon error where it give $15 off any order (even though it say "$15 off $150 purchase"). Follow this link. Thanks to pammyspyce over at CAG for the deal.

Great find toogood! I can't believe that the coupon worked for me!

I picked up .hack//Sign Complete Collection (6-Disc) - Anime Legends.
$29.64 - $15.00 Coupon + $1.40 S/H = $16.04.

I hope this actually goes through!

I also tested the coupon just to see if it will work the second time, but it didn't work.
The coupon is perhaps a one-time use/per account only or they have corrected the error already!

I can't get it to work. I can't even get it to work when I have $125 worth of stuff in my cart. I was screwing around with my cookies, and now I can't even get anything in my cart. Ugh. Man, I really wanted a $5 coupon!

You're toogreat, toogood! I got Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi Volumes 1 and 2(I have two different Overstock accounts) for $6.26 each. I just got Volume 3 from the BB kiosk(thank you very much WTK) for $12.48 shipped. If this deal goes through, I'll have the 12 episode series for just $25 even. If they cancel(which is likely since this deal is now on FW), hopefully they'll give out $5 apology coupons.

The $15 discount won't show until the final checkout page after you sign in.

This deal has been posted on FW & SD. All I can say is, there goes a deal! I'll be shocked if they actually honor my order now! Now let's hope they will send out those $5 apology coupons!
