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..

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

One order for me as well...

Gilgamesh Vol. 1-7 w/ Art Box
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.

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.

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.

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 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)

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!
