My 12 year old daughter will be very happy about the news
She's been watching Spiral recently, though, so she's been otherwise occupied. |

I find it funny (actually I don't) ADV would rather release thinpaks than just lower the price on unpopular dvds. If it is true that ADV overestimated how popular supergals and kaleidostar would be, I assume a lot of stores and probably ADV itself has a lot of dead stock that has to either be sold or destroyed. Shouldn't the thinpaks be used to sell popular series at lower price without penalizing the people who bought the full versions? |

The thinpaks will have the lower price, but I'm pretty sure that ADV will also remove the extras out of all or most of these cheap collections. This is so that the people who bought the series earlier on at a more expensive price might not feel cheated or penalized as you say. |

See, that's where I disagree with the concept. Those of us who pay the higher prices are paying the higher prices because we get to see it first. We have the opportunity and LE boxes and can own it first. We get it right away and don't want to wait to see it. Our reward is getting it before the holdouts do. That's the price of doing business. Besides, stripping extras means having to go back to the authoring company and re-author the discs. In my mind, it means creating an extra cost where it's not needed. Personally, I think stripping extras is a bad move since those who didn't pick up the first go round may think twice about buying it at all if the extras are gone. |

I guess the last paragraph of my previous post could have been written a little bit better. I meant for the post as a whole to state that the idea of creating thinpaks to sell less popular series is less than ideal because it does little to clear out the existing stock. I'm not completely against the idea of thinpaks, I just think that ADV and Geneon need to work on their estimates. |

ADV is selling Vols. 1,2,4, and 5 right now for $7. The Vol.1 boxset is $9, so there you go 
Of course if you already own these, it's too late... |

That's only for the 4th of July weekend. Once the holiday is over, ADV will sell them at their regular prices until their next clearance sale, which will be on Labor Day weekend assuming they continue to use the American holidays for their clearance sales. FYI: I already own all 6 volumes of Kaleido Star so it's definitely too late for me!
