Didn't they release a full set in japan I could import or something?
I think that Funimation will eventually get a FMA boxset in the future. And it won't suprise me if they break the boxset up into two or three different releases. I also heard a while ago from a Funimation forum that any sort of boxset will take at least a year or longer after all 13 volumes + the movie is released.

I'm not too sure that they released a boxset in Japan. The only non-bootleg boxsets (Region 2) that I know are available for purchase @ YesAsia.com. The least expensive boxet that I see over there is for $110.49. But the boxset is pretty much useless unless you understand Japanese, Cantonese, or Traditional Chinese; there're no English subtitles!

Yeah, I got my order in late last night. Was sitting there reloading the page and then the "cart empty" glitch hit me. Had to spend another hour re-adding all my stuff. Took me about 3 hours, but it's all worth it. Now if I can only find the space to store them.

I went for 10 as I already have a few of the series in there. I would do another offer for 10, but I can't find another 4 titles. I ordered the following:

geneonsale10 Geneon Special Promo: 10 for $50 offer (*) 1 $50.00
pd12126 Last Exile DVD 3 (Hyb): Discovered Attack 1 $0.00
pd12127 Last Exile DVD 4 (Hyb): Breakthrough 1 $0.00
pd12128 Last Exile DVD 5 (Hyb): Grand Stream 1 $0.00
pd12129 Last Exile DVD 6 (Hyb): Queen Delphine 1 $0.00
pd12130 Last Exile DVD 7 (Hyb): Sealed Move 1 $0.00
pd11948 Lupin the 3rd TV DVD 4 (Hyb): Thieves' Paradise 1 $0.00
pd11949 Lupin the 3rd TV DVD 5 (Hyb): Mission: Irresistible 1 $0.00
pd11950 Lupin the 3rd TV DVD 6 (Hyb): Lupin the Target 1 $0.00
pd11951 Lupin the 3rd TV DVD 7 (Hyb): Royal Scramble 1 $0.00
pd11952 Lupin the 3rd TV DVD 8 (Hyb): Sweet Betrayals 1 $0.00
Item Subtotal: $50.00

Shipping: Economy - Free

Tax: No Additional (Outside Iowa)

Grand Total: $50.00

I was considering putting in another order. For some reason, Lupin the 3rd, Volume 10 is NOT included in this sale, but all the other volumes up to 14 are, just not that one. Any ideas why?

No, they don't COUNT towards the coupon, but you can add one to your order so that it also qualifies for free shipping. The only items that count towards the coupon are the ones in the Bountiful Items link...

Highly, highly doubtful. Only items on the Bountiful Items list should count. The point of letting other sale items be added to orders, I believe, is so that we can take advantage of the free shipping.

Hey, don't let TRSI get all the credit for this sale. Geneon's teamed up with at least one other retailer, namely The Anime Corner Store. They don't have the same kind of selection but they do have some discs that TRSI doesn't have in their sale yet and you're not forced into getting 10 to get the deal. They're $4.98 ea, must buy 3+, multiple purchases of the same title allowed: Geneon Bargain Basement Sale!

Here it is, we've got nearly 150 DVD's from Geneon on sale for only $4.98 per disk for our fall sales event! This is special stock we've taken from Geneon, and is only available at these prices while supplies last!

Here are some other details:

* All Fall Sales DVD's are Non-Returnable.
* Inventory will be allocated first come first served.
* Limited to Stock on Hand. Some volumes are already sold out.
* These are NOT signature series, but original version DVD's with the cover artwork!
* Minimum Order is 3 DVD's in any combination.


Buy 20 DVD's and US Customers can combine this offer with our Free Super Saver Shipping option for even more savings!
PS: Order today or tomorrow for $100+ and that 5% off coupon should work too

Why don't I see an edit button? =/

Anyway, I ended up using the 10for50 coupon at TRSI since I'm pretty much broke and TRSI gave a slightly better deal than The Anime Corner Store (free shipping). I could've gone in for two or three full $100 orders at TRSI though if I had the cash.

Order 1 of 1:
Last Exile 1-7
Ah! My Goddess: The Movie (DTS Version)
Haibane Renmei 1-2

I really would've liked to pick up all of Haibane Renmei along with Last Exile but that would've put me at 11.

Ah well, I do love these sales!

I'm planning on making one more 25 for $100 order in the next day or two. If it turns out that I'm a couple of titles short, I could get Haibane 3 & 4 for you. I would rather help a fellow DVD Talker out than to get a couple of filler items. I'll let you know if I end up short and you can decide if you want those two titles.

Huh. That other site has all the Tenchi OVAs. It also has some of the titles in box sets (X, Heat Guy J, El Hazard, etc). It scared me when they said it had Ai Yori Aoshi, but it turned out to just be Enishi. They have R.O.D., but only the first two volumes. They also have Stellvia vol 1 + box for $5. Not sure how much they charge for shipping, but I'm happy with my TRSI purchases.

Wow, thanks for the consideration, especially to a newbie here. I appreciate it.

They hit me up for 6.00 priority mail shipping on 3 titles. It's a great price on the metal box but the stock is so limited on the other titles. Any other websites doing this promotion?

Ended up doing a 3rd and final order:
Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi 1-3
Hellsing 1-4
Koi Kaze 1-3
Requiem for the Darkness 1-4
Sakura Wars
Texhnolyze 1-6
Tsukihime Lunar 1-3
Appleseed

And I officially wash my hands of this sale. Can't wait for everything to start rolling in...

I decided to grab what I could before anything else goes out of stock and picked up ten titles:

Azumanga Daioh CD
Daphne in the Brilliant Blue 5-7
Stellvia 1-6

It's still a pretty good deal, but I really wanted to get more. Maybe I'll make a second order if things go back into stock, but it doesn't seem likely.

EDIT: I didn't see anything on the first page about this, but it looks like select Genenon titles are on sale up to 37% over at Deep Discount DVD:

http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/studi...&title=Pioneer

I know, big whoop. Sale ends 9/30/06.

Yea I got hit with $6 in freight as well (Tenchi In Tokyo 2 & 4, Sakura Wars movie LE). Still, for those discs I gladly pay ~$7/ea. Too bad they didn't have TiT 1 & 3 as well....

And I like ACS - I just wish they were able to do more sales like Right Stuf......
