What's going on?
The counter shows how many possible units TRSI can acquire from Geneon Ent. TRSI basically will have to get these allocated copies from Geneon to their warehouses in order to fulfill these orders. This is not very uncommon with these types of abundance sales for later orders.

I placed one order within about 10 minutes of the sale going up and my second a day later and I have this same issue. But i'm patient so it doesn't bother me I have about 5-10 years of stuff to get through anyways.

Thanks alot for the advice! You too Sweet baby James! Looks like i'll have to check out chobits! I have to say, that dvdtalk is the only forum like this that i really frequent and I can't thank all of you guys enough. Everyone is always friendly and eager to help each other out. Truly a sense of community. This has for some time been the first place i turn whenever i need info on a release, tips on what to buy, and especially when there are great sales. And i want to thank everyone who takes the time to keep this anime thread going. you guys are doing a great job. thanks again!

I do not watch dubs at all. But man everyone was on point for the dub CHOBITS.

Okay, thanks. So will they wait until everything is in-stock before shipping, or will they send out what they have first?

I'm almost certain that the order won't be shipped out to you until all of the titles in the order are ready to go!

Yeah, I don't think that they like to do partials during these liquidation sales. Fortunately for me, my entire order shipped out yesterday.

Thanks!
I liked L/R quite a bit, it has a sort of Lupin-esque feel to it without quite so much wackiness. The music is great and I thought the dub was really pretty good. The story is decent, nothing that will knock your socks off though. Overall, I'd recommend it if you like Lupin or spy type series.

So how long do you think it will take? I was considering a second order if ROD 7 w/box comes back in stock, but if my first order is going to take a couple of weeks to ship, then I don't know if it's worth it.

And do you think I'm screwed on Last Exile vol. 1 LE? It was in-stock when I bought it (I placed my order early because I wanted to make sure I got it), but now it's sold out.

You should be fine, you payed for it, so as I see it they really have no choice but to send it to you. Of course, I haven't had much experience with it before though, I only took part in one other Abundance sale.

Don't sweat it. Shawne is excellent about fulfilling orders, so you should be fine regarding Last Exile. I'm not going to lie to you, it might take a couple of weeks for them to ship out your order. However, once you receive the magical brown box containing 25 DVDs that you only paid $100 for, you'll know that it's worth it! The waiting will be easier in the future once you have amassed a backlog.

Chobits was alright. I read the manga first, which was better written and sequenced, so the anime ended up falling short. Dante is terrible and a waste of time. Not to mention it's edited. I have heard good things about Master Keaton. L/R looked uninteresting to me, but if you like that sort of crime/spy series it may be worth looking at.

I was a little strapped for cash when the righstuf special started.

I picked up:

Heat Guy J Vol. 1-7
Captain Herlock 1,3,4 LE

Got Herlock Vol. 2 from DD with the 20% for $15.00

Not too shabby!

Anyone else notice that ROD 7+box says "In stock and available" but "Quantity: 0"?

Is that normal? Shouldn't that be "Backordered" or something when they don't have any left?

The Gantz sets are a good deal, although RS did sell them for $24.99 at one time. The Noir thinpak for $39.99 is a great deal(I've never seen it any cheaper).

Well, they don't actually charge your card until they're ready to ship. I've had a few cases where my title were cancelled because the allocation number was off. In those cases, they just didn't ship me the item.. But this with sale, I would assume they would contact you to make a switch before shipping your order out..
Later

FYI - since I saw it in the list there - Blood: The Last Vampire is getting an American live-action remake and the star is being played by the Korean hottie who starred in "My Sassy Girl" -- now going by the westernized name of Gianna Jun.

Okay, thanks for the reassurance. I'll have about 2 years of stuff to watch between my DDD orders and this, so I can probably afford to wait a little while.

I supposedly have one reserved for my order. I had it in my cart shortly after the sale started. The first thing that I did when the sale showed up was to sort the items by the price from high to low, then started adding to the cart from there. Since there wasn't much in the way of artboxes last time I figured it was an easy way to get stuff I didn't get before. The inventory was in single digits when I got mine, so there weren't many available.

At least if it shows with 0 stock and isn't removed, they will probably get a few more in sometime before the end of the sale. If that happens and I'm lucky enough to get it, I'll have to make a 10 order to go with the two 25's I've already got!

I am going to be so poor (in a good way)!
