So Alan45, did you sashay up to the cash and ask, "Say, is That Wolf Boy is Mine volume 2 in yet? I absolutely adore that series!"*

As if!! Barnes & Noble is mostly self service. In any case, I know where their manga is located. They offer a rather large selection fortunately. Mind you, I would have asked if necessary. When it comes to my hobby I have very little shame. Not that it would have helped to ask. I've noted in the past that just because their computer shows they have a title, it doesn't mean it is still in the store.

Back when Best Buy still had a reasonable selection of anime, I would go in every Wednesday after work. I bought most of my anime there. It got to the point that one of the cashiers (female) would greet me by name. Given the titles and covers of some anime, if I was likely to be embarrassed it would have happened then. Cool

Thought I'd use Right Stuff's free $5 Blind Box/ $5 Gift Certificate promo and ordered something I shoould have gotten during Sentais own BF sale... and a couple waiting for an excuse of an order.

Strawberry Marshmallow TV Collection DVD
Strawberry Marshmallow OVA DVD
(I decided to save a few bucks and just go DVD... because I simply could not conceive that this show benefits much from a BD treatment)
Daily Lives of High School Boys Standard Edition Blu-ray
The Troubled Life of Miss Kotoura Premium Edition Blu-ray
Tenchi Muyo Movie Collection Limited Edition Blu-ray/DVD
I don't know why it took me so long to pick this up again. I think at times I was waiting for a standard edition... but somewhere along the way i looks like Funimation lost the meaning of "limited" when it came to this set.

Well, TRSI Holiday Sale order has been placed:

Anime:
Ladies Versus Butlers Blu-ray
When They Cry Rei (Season 3) DVD
Yuki Yuni is a Hero CEs 1, 2 & 3

Manga:
Flowers of Evil Manga (1-5) bundle

Books/Misc.:
TMoHS light novels 7,8,9 & 10
Time of Eve Another Act
Time of Eve Art Cards

That comes to $256.90 before taxes (only $6.90 over budget!) and $283.99 with taxes. Sadly, that is before the exchange rate is calculated. Crying or Very sad

The Haruhi novels were not part of the sale, but I wanted to complete the collection and I thought I might as well get them while I have free shipping. Novel 9 is out of stock which is a bit of a drag. Not sure how long it will take to get more in. I was not amused at having to pay MORE to get the soft cover version of Novel 7 than it would have cost me to get the hard cover version, but all the others I have are soft, so I had no choice.

I don't officially have them in my hot little hands yet, but later today I'll be meeting with a seller and buying Flowers of Evil Blu-ray and Penguin Drum Blu-ray sets 1 & 2 for $50 CAD. These items are on sale at TRSI but when you add in taxes and the currency exchange, I'm getting a better deal doing it this way. I've dealt with this seller before so I know the items have only been watched once.

Bought myself my yearly Crunchyroll "gift" premium subscription. I always buy the gift version just so I don't have to bother with an automatic renewal. Crunchyroll being Crunchyroll, it's still a giant pain. I tried doing this last night but you can't buy a 12 month subscription until your previous subscription is completely over, and your subscription is not over until a couple days after your profile says it expired.

And how I long for the days of the Black Friday sale.

Just bought Captain Earth (DVD sets) and Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt off the Rightstuf Holiday Sale. Very likely to be the last snag I make from the Holiday Sale.
