The Eva Platinum slipcovers were originally going to be limited, but when ADV decided to release a box to hold the series, they made it so that all copies would have a slipcover. Having a box with non-slipcover DVDs would be annoying; just ask anyone who tried to collect the X TV series.
Hope that makes sense!
Edit: For what it's worth, I ordered all 7 Platinum volumes online, and all of them had slipcovers.

Thank you for the information. I'll go ahead and throw in an order for them along with my missing volume 6 of sister princess. I think that will bring me over the 500.00 mark on money spent at rightstuf the last 30 days. Who needs nutritious food, right?
I guess these will hold me over until the release of the Evangelion 10th anniversary set released next month. For the crazy high price on it that jacket better be nice

I finished updating the Best Buy table, in the process finding out that the Yu-Gi-Oh: Best of Friends, Best of Duelists DVD was another one of the DVDouble Shot discs, so I took that out.

I think that's pretty typical... But I dunno - gp03 - were they significantly different from what nekobi and I are describing, or...?

Btw, my first Geneon order finally shipped a few days ago. Should be getting it any day now (one state away).

Finally got my original order today. The snow fairy sugar limited editions box was smashed all to hell but everything else is perfect. Makes me wish I went for an even 100. Darn!
Edit: After removing 25 shrinkwraps and security labels that don't improve with age I changed my mind. I ordered plenty.

I unwrapped my first 2 orders last night - made me glad I spaced my orders somewhat apart!
I had 1 cracked CD case, which wasn't even that bad (definately not enough to complain about, given the nature of this sale). I haven't received any of the artboxes I order from TRSI though, so I guess we'll see what they look like when they arrive >

I'm up to Disc 6 of Last Exile and am thrilled I got a chance to watch it by means of this Geneon sale. It's an excellent show, and I knew I'd like it after watching Disc 1 which I purchased last year. Seems other people feel the same as it's been consistently in the Weekly Top 10 at TRSI for the last 3 weeks.

Received my first Geneon order today. 5 or 6 of them had covers that were too high, so there's some security tape stuck on them, and one of the cases was slashed on the front, all the way to the cover itself. But it's not a big deal....for the price, I can easily live with it.

Received my first Geneon order (10x) from Right Stuf yesterday. No floaters, no slashes. The security stickers didn't come off the covers so well, but that's really a minor sticking point. They also finally shipped something that I ordered back during their Media Blasters sale.

Shoot, I don't come onto DVDTAlk for a bit and I nearly miss out on the 10% off BB coupon. Running tomorrow after school and picking up a bunch.
Edit: My bad, just a regular 10% off coupon and not one of the great 30% off anime coupons.

Haven't those 30% been around for a long time now? I thought that they were back to school coupons. I've never even seen one of those in my local BB. I just hope the little free booklet that should be out about now has some kind of coupon in it since I missed out the last time...

Should I call TRSI?
My final Geneon order has had all 25 items listed as "Reserved for your Order" for a week now and no shipping.... I know they have delays with the sale, but should I call them anyways?
Edit: nevermind... no shipping e-mail, but I went back into my account, and now it says "Processing", but also that it was shipped on 10/5. Who knows. Either way it's hopefully either on its way to me or will be soon.

^^^ Pretty much the same situation - Mine's been "Reserved" for a week, now says "Processing," and ship date is 10/5. Either way, I'd imagine they'd arrive this week... I don't think you need to call.
