So, is there anything actually special about Roots V3 SE? The only difference I see is an MP3 case.

Are you able to get this list into an electronic format? If you can, please PM me and I'll forward you my email address. I think it will be a lot easier for me to filter through the anime titles. Thanks again!

I believe the only difference is just the MP3 case. I think the MP3 case is also designed for iPods.

Also at FYE,

Origin - $14.99

Ill try tonight to get one of the two people i know at my local FYE to print out the list. I've got a scanner so I'll just use that method to get it online. A lot of good deals just from the list that WTK posted, makes me wish i saved my credit from the brown bag days.

WTK has the list now, I sent it to him

I have added some stuff with the list that db27 provided. So as of the moment the list on Post #151 should be fairly complete. Unless you can acquire the list from your local store that has tons of anime, you may find some other titles not listed here.

good point WTK, our anime section is only 8 feet (our used section is 16 feet) with 5 shelves so we certainly are missing some titles and the list only prints that which is on-hand. Though, you should be able to get the jist of it based on the series that are on sale.

hope you all find some sweet deals.

Argh, i wish you didn't tell me this. Now I'm tempted to just get the singles, since the cases are so nice, even though I know that Viz will eventually release a boxset

I was at Suncoast today and noticed some of the boxsets not mentioned above were also 50% off. The ones I saw were:

Samurai Champloo $99.99
Texhnolyze $74.99
Black Heaven (50% off of what is marked, can't remember)

I would advise against buying a Geneon box set. FYE/Suncoast has had the box sets at half price plus the Geneon BOGO in the past. There are no guarantees that this will occur the next time that they have the Geneon BOGO promotion, but I think that it's very probable.

Black Heaven should be $49.99 if it's 50% off.

ANIMANIA! - September 2nd @ Suncoast & Saturday Matinee (B&M)

• Anime DVDs: Buy 1 Get 1 HALF OFF
• Manga Books Buy 1 Get 1 HALF OFF
• Naruto Headbands: $15.99 each
• All Anime Scrolls: 2 for $25

• Cosplay Contest
• Trivia
• Give-Aways

What time do these dealios usually start? I went to the last one near closing time in hope of scoring a give-away and there was no trace of any kind of event. Thanks.

This is the first time that another store other than Suncoast was included in the ANIMANIA event. With that said, each store does something different. I would call your store to see when they will hold their contest and trivia. Though it usually happens during the early to mid afternoon.

1st one of 2007 was in January, then June, so next one probably wont be til November. A bit long to wait for something you want to watch right now, but if its just something you want for your collection, you might as well wait; unless it goes OOP and the creator of the anime dies, you probably wont have any trouble finding most Geneon stuff in another 3 months.

Damn, I was hoping Cardcaptor Sakura movie 1 and 2 (LE) would count. :\

School Rumble, Vol.1+Starter Set: $24.99 @ Best Buy

Does Best Buy do in-store price matches to their online price?

They are supposed to, but it may vary from store to store.

I've never had a problem getting them to match themselves but it hasn't been more than 5-10 bucks.

Now if you found one of those 160 dollar Last Exile sets instore and wanted it for 31.99 might have a problem.

I am not sure this is the appropriate place to post this, but I was wondering if anyone's local Big Lots has the five Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam volumes or the Gundam 0080 complete collection. I would be happy to add something in for your trouble.

Thanks!

Animenation has knocked down the prices of their preowned DVD's to $3.99 and preowned manga to $1.99. Dont forget 10% off code Rentanime-RHS.

I have been on a manga hiatus, but i think $1.99 a volume can bring me out of it

http://www.animenation.com/pre-owned.html

man every time i click on a title i want...they say it's no longer available and for me to call to check availability otherwise i would jump on about 4 or 5 of those dvds they have listed :-(
