You'd probably could ask TRSI's great Customer Service Representatives to add it to one of your other orders. They are fast and friendly whether through e-mail or the live chat. Doing it that way, you do not have to make another order and have to find stuff to reach free shipping.

Probably so, but I'm looking for an excuse to spend more money Razz, so I ended up getting TWGOK 2 which I apparently didn't pre-order earlier.

$42 for Steins;gate isn't terrible, I think I'm going to hold off on pre-ordering it in case there's a sale within the next month or so.

Well, keep in mind that's $42 for "Part 1" implying there is a "Part 2" although honestly $42 is not high for 13 episodes.

Similar to how you can ask them to add items to your orders, you can also ask Right Stuf's customer service representatives to adjust the prices of your current orders to reflect sales. I've done it before, and it's really handy.

It's more of a I've been able to get 12/13 ep sets for under $38 waiting for things to go on sale. (I got both seasons of TWGOK for $38 each, and IS for $38)

Even if it's just a few bucks it's still a bit cheaper to wait.

I freakin' knew it! I should've written my guess down somewhere, but I freakin' knew it would be a Future Gadget Lab pin! It's in the show and pretty easy to reproduce after all.

AAA Anime wrote:
Cat Planet Cuties: Complete Collection (Blu-ray / DVD Combo) (Alternate) [Street Date: 9/30/2012] $64.98

It looks like this series is the first to get the regular edition (alt SKU) since January 2012. I wouldn't put too much attention to the street date (a Sunday) listed by AAA Anime. What it probably means is that, it will probably be released toward end of September. FUNimation started to solicit LE only since February 2012. I guess it's safe to say that this series is performing well for FUNimation.

The list below are LE releases (released before Cat Planet Cuties) that don't have a regular edition (alt SKU) solicited.
  • 02/07 - Sengoku Basara - Samurai Kings: Season 2 [combo LE]
  • 02/28 - Princess Jellyfish: Complete Collection [combo LE]
  • 04/03 - Black Butler II: Complete Collection [combo LE]
  • 04/17 - Heaven's Lost Property Forte: Complete Collection [DVD LE]
  • 04/17 - The Legend of the Legendary Heroes, Part 1 [combo LE]


EDIT: via RACS

Funimation let us know this week that they are now completely sold out of the original release version of Cat Planet Cuties (FN-07870), and that a new iteration (FN-07871) will be available to ship to retailers in a couple of weeks. The new version will carry an MSRP that is $5 lower than the original, and I'm told the only other difference is that FN-07871 will be a plain 4 disc amaray version with an O-card instead of being packaging in the nice rigid box.

EDIT 2: TRSI LE now has a counter of 250 and dropping...
EDIT 3: and the alt SKU is listed @ TRSI.
