The promotional discount should come off automatically. So the individual volumes of Shana it should be around $19.99 after the $10 discount (retail $29.99).

Here is my fairly current anime/animation related collection @ DVD Aficionado. It's not really that big of anime collection. Most of the anime titles were purchased within the last two years. It probably covers 2/3 of my DVD collection.

haha, if that's "not really that big of anime collection", then mine is just plain puny! ^_^ Besides, everyone knows it's not the size that counts, it's how you use it.

I got in my 2 ADV orders today. Both of my Gantz art boxes were tore up (I presume this happened when they belonged to Best Buy, since 6.99 BB stickers were on both of them). My other art boxes were fine.
My Peacemaker v. 5 disc was loose in case, and scratched badly.

One weird thing of note. The art cover to my v. 5 of Rune Soldier was different from the rest. I borrowed my friend's copy of Rune Soldier back in the day and his was the normal one. Mine looks nothing like the rest of the art. Hmmm.

That is too bad. Things like still happen even it's packaged well. Be sure to contact customer service either via email or phone to get those replaced.

I believe all the Rune Soldier vol has reversible covers. The other cover you saw might be inside.

Anybody know if the FYE $10 off sale works on "sale" items? I grabbed Ultimate Hellsing 2 and 3 ($29.99 retail each) and Ragnarok ($29.99 retail, on sale for $22.99). The system didn't give me any discount, so I told them about the sign they had on the anime section. The cashier had to manually take $10 off the items, but she wouldn't do it for Ragnarok. I got the number for corporate, but they're close right now. If it should work, I'll go back and try to get my $10.

The $10 off promotion technically doesn't apply to on "sale" items. The cashier may even say that you can't double stack promotions. And like you said, price override will be required when the cashier rung up your purchase for something like this.

I don't know why, but when going through BuyRiteDVD's checkout process, the NieA_7 box set dropped from $28.99 to $20 flat. Glitch maybe?

After completing the order, I was also offered the opportunity for a $100 coupon with BRDVD if I filled out one of those BizRate surveys. I figured it was worth a shot, but you know how those things are... There's probably some sort of catch. I'll let you know when/if I get the coupon.

When does the price drop to $20 flat on Niea 7. It still shows $32.24 ($28.99 + shipping $3.25) with two choices: (1) submit order (2) change order.

I guess you got lucky.

Yep, I tried it as well, I got the same result. RedTail must have gotten lucky.

Already received my one and only RS order! Everything looked great, though I did have a lot of Best Buy stickers on my DVDs. Ha ha.

10 packages? Holy crap. I don't know, but I'd say about 1/3-1/2 of the DVDs in my order had Best Buy stickers on them.

Got my 25 for a $100 order at noon was surprised think its the fastest I've gotten something from them usually takes to Thursday when something is shipped on Friday night.
3 of mine had Best Buy stickers covered with blue foil Rightstuf stickers.
Spent all day yesterday transferring Geneon and some other series from the Scavano cases to the 60 M-Lock cases I got from Rightstuf had to make another order cause I ran short.

Also was wondering is DVDPacific the cheapest price on Le Chevalier D'Eon 4-6?

Got my second order of 25 from the TRSI ADV abundance sale, with no issues at all, however....I find it odd that my first order shipped the same day, BUT I got the second order (odd thing is, the UPS tracking number I got for the 1st order....isn't showing up at all on the UPS site).

*shrug* Probably show up tomorrow.
