I would also advise LazyGuy to keep checking back. Someone might have it saved in their cart. Once their cart empties, the DVD will once again be available to order.

On a side note, I received my first 25 disc order today and everythong was in perfect shape. Shawne even included a $5 rebate offer for Kamichu Volume 1. Fortunately for me, I have this title(so this order worked out to be $95).

Well, I've been tracking this item on eBay for the last couple of days, and I know most have their wallets destroyed (I know I do or I'd try to be all over this).

Kenshin Premium Boxes x3 and Samurai X OVAs. This collection is easily worth $200+ and is only at $50 right now. I'd normally not tell anyone about eBay deals because once posted the "deal" is pretty much dead, but thought somebody might want to check it out.

Oh, really? Perhaps I should tell them to not cancel my order. I got an email saying that it's still backordered a few days ago and if I don't respond within 30 days they'll just cancel it. Meh, why not, I'll go tell them not to cancel.

Same here. I had pretty much given up hope at this point.

Was at Bestbuy today and saw Samurai 7 vol 1 - 6 limited editon for $19.99 each. Not sure if this is local or not, so YMMV for now.

It's confirmed at my local store for volumes 2 - 6 (LE). I didn't see Vol.1 (LE) on the shelf and it's no longer available for order on the kiosk as well! Vol.7 (LE) is also $19.99 as well!

Samurai 7 Vol.2 - 7 (Limited Edition) @ $19.99 each in the store (B&M / YMMV).
Samurai 7 Vol.2 - 7 (Limited Edition) is also $19.99 each @ the kiosk.

So, Vol. 7 is included as well? Your post is a tad bit confusing to me.

I'd grab these, but I already own all 7 volumes. Oh well.

Yes, I saw Vol.7 (LE) on the shelf with $19.99 sticker marked and it's the same price on the kiosk as well!

Oh neat! I picked up Vol 7 with the artbox but I wanted the LE as well since I have the other volumes as LE. Just didn't want to pay full price for it.

Time to go to Best Buy!

Also a couple of the titles also had some neat extra stuff:
- Captain Herlock: Vol.2, 3, 4 with Pencil Boards
- Koi Kaze: Vol.2, 3 with Bonus Stickers
- NieA Under 7: Vol. 2, 4 with Cutout Stand-Ups
- Texhnolyze: Vol.1, 4, 6 with Lenticular Onserts
- X: Vol.3, 6, 8 with Limited Edition DVD Slip Cases
Hi. For Captain Herlock and NieA Under 7, was there a sticker indicating it? Or they were there when you opened them?
Thanks

I didn't pay that close attention to the stickers. But I'm pretty sure that Captain Herlock volumes have stickers indicating the extra stuff. I dont' believe that NieaA Under 7 volumes have them.

FYI, if you order anything of these titles it doesn't mean that you get these extra stuff! These titles that I received are likely the inital releases and I just happened to be lucky on getting them! And I'm sure that there are other titles in the sale that may have extra stuff as well!

Here's my limited experience with stuff like this...
I bought Soultaker #4 at a Big Lots for $3.99 a few months ago. Other than an extra rattle when you shook it, there was no indication of anything special, but it contained a glow in the dark sticker. I also bought Sakura Wars The Movie at the time & it had a set of 10 pencil boards in a separate numbered cardboard box stuck to the back of the dvd case.

Received my first shipment today! 28/60 dvds. It was so much fun unwrapping them from the paper wrapping and looking at them all. The rest haven't shipped yet because I changed some items in an order.

The Tokyo Underground DVDs had pencil boards inside (except Vol 3). There was a sticker indicating it on the outside.

For a limited time, Best Buy has the Trinity Blood Volume 1 Starter Set on sale for $24.99. Funimation has really been pumping out beautiful boxes as of late(Basilisk, Negima, etc) and this might just be their best one ever.

Placed another 25 disk order, picked up Gungrave, Last Exile, Heat Guy J and Herlock.

Wish Chobits would have come back in stock I'm not holding out for it this late in the game. I kept waiting and waiting, but was worried one of my other picks would have gone out of stock in the meantime.

Anyway 50 dvds is a ton. Half will probably go on ebay cause I wont like the show (or maybe someone will want to trade?), but this is a cheap way to try things. Thanks trsi and ganeon...

Put in my 3rd order:

Hajime no Ippo 1-8
Gungrave 1-7
Last Exile 2-7 (they have a DVD/CD combo of Disc 1 for $9.99 in the Weekly sales bin.)
Requiem from the Darkness 1-4

Good luck at the last few days of the sale. Who knows I might put in a 4th

My husband grabbed me one today at a B&M since it was removed from TRSI's site. It was $29.99 for him as well. So, what does PM mean? A way to get our $5 back or something else?

Not that it matters. This thing is gorgeous - so worth it IMO. Heck I would have paid more than $30 for it in a heartbeat. I just hope I enjoy the show ^_~

PM = Pricematch

FYI, for those who don't have BB close by, DDD has the LE for $27.21!
