Normally I would just take them to the register and give it a go, but they're WAY up the wall, like get the ladder out high, and I don't want to be the jerk that makes them get them down only to not buy them :P
If your area still has the Geneon B1G1 promotion going on, it will include all Geneon titles including single volumes, starter sets, and complete collections.

Robotech: Why is there so, so, so, so many different "

Can someone please explain to me about this whole Robotech/Macross saga with respect to all the available DVD sets/individual volumes/collections available?


I found this listmania on amazon.com....
http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Robot...ch_f_1_rsrsrs0

I have the Proculture Set in front of me, is this the ENTIRE thing? Plus, what's the relationship between "Robotech" and "Macross"? If "Macross" is something like Robotech 2, then why not simply call it Robotech 2, or something to that extent?

And what the heck is this "Robotech Masters" thing? What is this Robotech "New Generations" thing? "Macross Saga"?
(NOTE: I have not seen a single episode of either Robotech or Macross)

Robotech is the combination of the three shows, Super Dimensional Fortress Macross, Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, and Genesis Climber Mospeada. They dubbed them, changed enough of the story and used a hammer to fit them together into an 85 episode series to run in syndication.

On the Robotech Front, The Protoculture collection is the the best most complete set you can get currently.

FYI, these pricing are only available in-stores now. They can still be ordered via customer kiosk where available.

Best Buy has the Burst Angel Boxset with OVA ( Viridian ) for pre-order 6/10 for $29.90. Though with tax and shipping this may be a deal killer.

With a street date of June 10, it should be out during the you-know-what.

Devil May Cry ???

Devil May Cry

Has anyone place an order for the coupon/insert/dvd case through rightstuf, and received the product?

(1) I was wondering if the $5.00 coupon is valid for retail stores (i.e. Best Buy, FYE, Suncoast) and valid dates.
(2) Is the insert/dvd artwork the same as the retail volume 1 version?
(3) Whatever happened to ADV simply giving those volume 1 cases out for free (or am I mistaken?)

http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/cat...em/80072/4/0/0

I have the disc that came with the PSP collector's edition video game.

I would probably say that he has too many copies since they don't even have counter yet.

I can't answer your first two questions, but I throught I read somewhere on the offer page, in the instruction manual I believe, a $3.99 S&H charge.. If so, it would have costed the same if ADV themselves where fullfilling the case offer..

Thanks WTK. I bought Vol. 1 of VJ.
I hope they release in Japanese with Subs. The dub is really bad, in my opinion. :/

It looks like Vol. 2 is back in stock now. Thanks for the heads up on these. I went ahead and ordered Vol. 1 + Artbox and each of the other volumes.

A good deal if you don't want the thinpak. I'm going to wait for the(most likely) upcoming sale at DD and scoop up the thinpak. They have it for $24.90, so it should be just under $20 during the sale.
