Hey does anyone know what the Ronin Warriors complete collection from Bandai goes for these days? I see a lot of bootleg versions all over the place, but I'm talking about the official version -- which I don't seem to be able to find any action on.

Is that a NA release or import? Wasn't even aware a Ronin Warriors Collection existed.

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?
I only got a couple of the Best Buy stickers covered with the blue TRSI stickers.

At the moment it looks like DVDPacific has the cheapest price on Le Chevalier d'Eon.

If it's the 10-disc R1 version it should fetch you somewhere between $50 to $100+. This series is OOP and Bandai Entertainment no longer has the license to this series.

I'm surprised anyone actually has this. My boyfriend has been trying to find the collection forever, but every time we look on eBay, it's loaded with bootlegs. I gave up looking for a legitimate copy a while back.

I got them off of CL awhile back. All 10 sealed for a buck each. Still have them sealed. I didn't realize they were sought after...

One trick for searching ebay is to include the word bootleg in the search terms. Bootleggers never use the word in their auctions. Legit sellers often include "not a bootleg" or similar.

Its not foolproof, but it really helps.

Actually a pretty good idea, but I rarely eBay these days. Thanks, though!

There was a small ADV restock and some items came back in.
Cromartie High 1 + Box - Counter 1
Magical Shopping Arcade 4 - Counter 1

Figure if anyone was looking to grab these, here's your chance...

I checked out RightStuf this morning, and there were 2 of these in stock:
Elfen Lied DVD 1 (Hyb): Vector One + Artbox

I picked up one that I missed last time around, so there's one left for whoever gets there first.

According to db27, all coupon codes are taken down due to the GC fiasco.

I don't believe they are part of a sale. I believe FYE.com is applying pre-order discount for quite a few anime titles. You mentioned Death Note, Vol.4 LE a while back and SBJ mentioned a couple more a few days ago. I finally compiled a bigger list earlier today. In my opinion, these discounted price may end anytime like what happened to Cowboy Bebop: Remix Collection (Anime Legends).

ie- Once it gets closer to the the title's release date they'll stupidly cancel your orders and then blame "their system." I seriously doubt I'll ever buy anything from those idiots again.

Apparently, they accidentally canceled all pre-orders (not just the CB: R Collection). Some kind of glitch in the system. I don't remember. One CS rep told a poster here that he could order it, and then once it shipped, he could call CS again and have the difference refunded, but to me, it sounded like too much of a pain and too risky.

It's a misprint.

This special edition includes the Psalms of Planets Eureka Seven Complete Best CD, a t-shirt, and the Eureka Seven video game manga volume 2! I'm not sure about the CD soundtrack, since the cover art does not show it.
