Damn, I really want to get it on this deal, but I have almost every single DVD. All I am interested now is Tetsujin 28, but its missing vol. 6, and there are no other title to add.
Oh why oh why did I buy DVD as they were coming out!!! I could have saved tons of money if I just waited - and the worst of it all, I haven't had the chance to see almost half of my collection yet. damn, I should definitely have waited.
Greatest Deal EVER though

Yeah, the Stelliva box has thinpack for all the DVD.. Though, I don't know what the use of using it.. Are are they going to do with the other DVD cases and covers?
I got the ROD LE vol 1 bookstyle case and was debating getting the ROD bundle from TRSI, but what would I do with the extra cases, inserts and covers?
Also, what does that square silver sticker say on the Gate Keeper DVD on the left?
Thanks

Every package I've gotten from RACS has come well packed. My three DVD's I received today were wrapped in bubblewrap and snug in the box.
In the past, when I've ordered more stuff, it's come packed in peanuts. Nice sized boxes - not too big like some places so things slide around and get banged up inside, but not so small as to result in damage should the outerbox get scrunched (not that it's happened with a RACS order for me, but it's a nice consideration at least ^_^).

It's more a packaging alternative. Individual thinpaks are still too thin to stand out on the shelf, which is why so few individual releases are thinpacked, but I actually liked the Stellvia packaging idea: 4 thinpaks which are able to hold all 8 volumes, with each of the 8 covers represented on either side of the thinpak.

I was at Wal*Mart(Shelton, CT location) today and noticed that they had the Fullmetal Alchemist Movie packaged together with FMA Volume 1. The price was $18.50. I know that most people buying the movie will most likely already have Volume 1. However, you can always sell Volume 1 or maybe give it as a gift and convert another John Q. Public into an otaku.

with rightstuf I am always pleased how they pack everything...for art box orders, large DVD orders, they put a box in a box for me everytime thus there is like a 1-2 inch buffer for damage purposes...then they fill in the rest with crushed paper so nothing gets loose....this all worked well especially in rainy weather where my box got dropped in water obviously...but the 1-2 inch buffer saved my DVD's from water so I didn't get mad

Finally made my first Geneon order the other day. I was a bit hesitant due to space issues. I've already got 4 shelves, which hold around 300 each, and I've still got stacks of dvds on top of them and elsewhere. Damn these sales.....damn them to eternal damnation, damnit.
Anyway, I got...
Gad Guard 2-7
Last Exile 2-7
Cybuster 1-6
Lunar Legend 1-3
Heat Guy J 4-7
I also ordered Gad Guard 1 + Box from Buy Rite, my first order from them, for $9.99. It shipped out today. I also got an email from them, giving me a change on pricing on the site. I thought they only did that for wholesalers but I won't complain. I might have to order some more stuff since the prices are pretty damn low now.

Yay! 17/75 received!
Tenchi Muyo OVA 3
Requiem from the Darkness 2,3,4
Burn-up Scramble 1,2,3
Last Exile 6
Ai Yori Aoshi Enish 1,2,3
Armitage III: Poly-Matrix
Hellsing 1
Haibane Renmei 1,2,3,4
I was wondering why my other orders that had shipped didn't have tracking numbers! They were all in the same box! Silly TRSI! And I thought I was only getting 2 DVDs today.
Everything looks good. Packaged in TRSI's normal fashion; rectangle barriers surrounding the DVDs, box being a little over a foot high. Everything is sealed, no floaters. Now the big question is....where do I put all these singles?! My dream is one day there will be a Geneon BOX SALE.

The sticker on the GateKeepers DVD says that an A.E.G.I.S. AGENT Earth Defense License Card is included. Each volume has one with the info of a cast member on one side in Japanese and the other side in English. It looks like all 5 of the volumes had their respective cards, even the ones that weren't stickered.
Anyone else gotten their orders and noticed this type of stuff?
Thanks
