Made a quick order. I had a hard time doublechecking my list and hopefully didn't order a double I got before.. Does anyone know if TRSI will make substitutions? I thought I remember in previous adbundance sales, it wasn't possible becausse of the volume..

Wow, 3 pages of items gone already.. I think I might need to make 2 more orders. Hopefully it won't be pulled early like the last ADV one..

Later

I would not wait on this sale. A lot of the titles are shrinking down in numbers.

I end up with one order. I probably won't place another order unless they add a bunch of more new titles to the sale.

Area 88 OVA Series
Burn Up W - Essential Anime
Gilgamesh, Vol.1 - 7 w/artbox
Madlax, Vol.1 - 7 w/artbox
Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok, Vol.1 - 7 w/artbox
Nadesico: Prince of Darkness Movie
You're Under Arrest The Motion Picture

This Ugly Yet Beautiful World Vol. 1-3 w/ Art Box

Damn, wasn't able to get in with Mezzo vol 1 with artbox.

I still went ahead and made a 10 item order

Area 88 OVA Series
Legend of Crystania Theatrical Movie DVD (Hyb) - Essential Anime
Legend of Crystania: The Chaos Ring DVD (Hyb) - Essential Anime
Mezzo DVD 1 - 3
Parasite Dolls DVD
Yumeria DVD 1 - 3

Sucks I missed out on the Mezzo artbox, it was in my cart and everything but when I went to check out, poof, gone. Then my cart was cleared out so I had to scramble and put everything back in. Ugh, I like RightStuf, don't get me wrong, but their cart system, can't say I care for it very much. >_

As a consolation, I ordered the Mezzo art box during the last sale (even though I already owned Vol. 1 on its own), and it arrived crushed, so it was pretty worthless. I didn't bother trying to get it replaced.

i know this is the anime BARGAINS thread...but can anyone recommend any other anime that would be excellent enough to add to my cart that's included in this sale?

Sweet, I checked back few minutes ago and the artbox was back in stock! So I quickly put in the same order except of Mezzo vol. 1 I bought vol 1 with Artbox. I already put in a cancellation request to RightStuf for the previous order, I know they're busy now but they only charge cards when the order ships so I should be okay.

justbarelymovin, that sucks about the artbox! If I had read that before placing the other order I probably would not have bothered. >_< Like you I doubt I would have tried to get a replacement, too much of a hassle.

This is tempting. My problem is ADV does such a great job with their thinpack collections, I'm thinking I'd rather wait for a studio sale and save the shelf space. Decisions, decisions...

my question is this site safe to buy?
I placed an order with them the other day for Paprika, Hellboy, a drums DVD, and a CD. 3 shipped the next day (still waiting for Hellboy to ship) but I couldn't help but laugh when I got 3 separate e-mails telling me each individual item shipped.

Your item, Somewhere In The Between [11/13] * / Streetlight Manifesto,
has just shipped from our distribution center and is on its way to you
RIGHT NOW!
At least their canned e-mails have enthusiasm .

If you're at all worried, you should give them a call. They have great CS and are always willing to help out. Any time I've placed an order and either want to cancel or have something replaced, I just make a quick call.

I hope your box gets to you okay!

That's a great idea, I went ahead and did that but after awhile I got an automated voice telling me that all customer service reps are busy with other customers right now. I think I'll try later though.

lol but I do love the enthusiasm the guy reading the number instructions at the beginning has.

And thanks, I hope I'm able to get it and it's not mangled!

EDIT\ Called back again and got someone, he cancelled it for me, no problems whatsoever. You're right it wasn't a problem at all. ^_^

I dunno, I'm a little disappointed this time. There's really nothing new thatw asn't available in the last sale. UB World seems new, and they finished out a couple series like Loki and Moby. But I was hoping to see the opening to a couple new series. And some are actually an increase. Steam Detectives was going for $3 in the bargin bin at one point.

Most of the thinpak releases in the past few years for ADV series have little or nothing in the way of extras, so if you like the extras, you may want to take that under consideration.

I'm probably going to make 3 orders myself, getting titles I missed when the last one ended prematurely and getting the stuff not on sale last time should fill that out pretty quickly.

I'm with you. I was initially very excited until I looked through and realized I got everything I wanted in the last sale. Has Right Stuf ever done this sale outside of ADV and Geneon?

No. I would be thrilled if they ever did a Bandai or Funi abundance sale.

I chuckled when I saw Gasaraki in there, kind of weird to buy the 8 discs at $5 a piece instead of just the Box set at $35 (which is back in stock I see, need to get it this time). Though I guess if you do the 25 disc deal it's good. (Plus for the few that have an odd volume here or there)

Ended up with a 25 order.
Birth

Macross 3-7 (already have vol.1 with box and vol.2
Madlax 1-7 w/artbox
Neo Tokyo
Shadow Skill TV 1-6

Spent the money I have been saving for a new shelf that I really kind of need but, was able to finish up the Slayers Movie's and Macross on top of getting a few other things I've been wanting plus save according to checkout $634.00.
Saw some other things I would have not minded getting ,but Anime and Video Game budget for this month has already gone over as is.

I made a list of what FYE (or any other transworld owned store) is paying for the most valuable dvds from the sale (all prices after 45% bonus).

Worth $10.15 each
Angelic Layer, Vol. 1: Divine Inspiration [With Collector's Box]
Aura Battler Dunbine, Vol. 1: Tales of Byston Well [With Memorial Box]
Get Backers DVD 1 (Hyb): G & B On the Case + Artbox
Gravion DVD 1 (Hyb): Divine Steel + Artbox (Limited)
Kaleido Star DVD 1 (Hyb): Welcome to the Kaleido Stage! + Artbox
Kino's Journey DVD 1 (Hyb): Idle Adventurer + Artbox
Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi DVD 1 (Hyb) + Artbox
Pretear DVD 1 (Hyb) + Artbox
Saiyuki DVD 7 (Hyb): The Gods of War + Artbox



Worth $11.60 each
Gilgamesh DVD 1 (Hyb) + Artbox
Gravion Zwei DVD 1 (Hyb): Eye of the Storm + Artbox (Limited)
Madlax DVD 1 (Hyb): Connections + Artbox
RahXephon DVD 1 (Hyb): Threshold + Artbox + Tshirt

Not enough to make a full 25 order, but it should definately pad it pretty well. All above dvds add up to $137.75 in value, so consider the other 12 dvds you pick, a very nice bonus.

Well, I couldn't find anything in this sale to buy. I bought 35 titles in the last sale, and haven't watched more than a couple of them. My girlfriend didn't like Vermillion Pleasure Night, and it sank in that maybe buying random "interesting-sounding" Japanese DVDs isn't worth the shelf space.

With insane sales like this, what are you guys doing for storage space? I've been buying steel DVD cabinets.. I have about 2,400 DVD capacity now, and even that is filling up

edit: Btw, Super Milk Chan 1-4, and Elfen Lied 1-4 are highly recommended from me!
