I wonder if it's an error or if they oversold their inventory and decided to pull back!

Well, I did mention on the CAG forums about this "glitch". Looks like someone is doing it...probably shouldn't of said anything...
The way RS's inventory is set-up, there is no restrictions on how much inventory you can have in your cart. So you can put 999 (or whatever) into your inventory.
Eventually your cart will dump as it appears to have a 15-30 minute timeout. This inventory IS NOT placed back into the in-stock counter. It seems to come back a day or so later. Obviously, this is a problem and RS should fix it. It's been like this for years. I discovered it when I was sitting on "1" left in stock of a DVD but I was in class and didn't have my credit card on me, so I kept "wishlisting" to "in cart"ing it to keep it alive, but when my cart died it never came back.

I'm placing one last order of 10. You guys fill in the blanks. I'm getting:
ROD the TV 5
ROD the TV 6
ROD the TV 7
And 7 more. I'm already ordered Last Exile, Paranoia Agent, Lain, Haibane Renmei, ROD 1-4, and Fighting Spirit 1-2. I'm thinking about vol. 3 of FS and maybe trying out something like Gungrave or Licensed by Royalty. Help me out.

I emailed Shawne about the order change to swap ROD 7 into my order and he replied within a few hours with "Done." Really great customer service as always. I have yet to even catch up with my backlog from the last Geneon sale but these deals are just too good to pass on.

I liked Melody of Oblivion enough to spend $4 a disc on it after I watched the entire series one weekend at a friend's house. It's not the most profound show, but it's very filling.
I could not get past the first disk of Star Ocean EX.
I liked the Burn-Up series(es) as a simple girls-with-guns show, it's a good example of the genre and doesn't try to be anything else.
I have not seen either Ultra Maniac or any of the Saiyuki's to have formed an opinion.

Less than 10 R.O.D. the TV 7+box left, so if you haven't made that order yet, hurry~
I haven't watched anything on that list except for Star Ocean EX. I found it to be a mediocre show, mildly reminiscent of Slayers, not bad for a rental, but not quite good enough to actually purchase.

I received my two Geneon Bountiful Bargains REMIX orders yesterday.
The two orders were mixed in two boxes (17.5 x 11.5 x 12.5 & 11 x 9 x 12.5). One bonus pack item to report was Magical Project S Set 2 which included a limited edition mini-pencil board. Unfortunately, I didn't get one for Set 1!

Awesome! Did that show up on your order? When I last purchased from the original Geneon sale, they listed the catalog as a free item. I didn't get it listed this time and my subscription is out for their catalog, so I wonder if I'll actually receive it or not... hmm...
