but most Sentai and Funi items are priced virtually no different than they would be at normal sale prices during the year.

For FUNi titles, at least, the limited sales are a good improvement over the normal sales. Take Karneval BD/DVD LE. Currently at $41.99, which is less than it's normal sale, which is, IIRC, $52-55ish (I know, I was eyeing it for a while). But while it was on limited sale, it was $31.99. Which sucks, because I bought it on daily special at the $41.99. Only $10, and I still saved over $10 from the normal sale, but it would've been nice to get it for even less.

Finally, some light novels! Time to burn up some credit card space!

From my "maybe pile", which would you most recommend out of:
Gatchaman Crowds or Madlax?

I liked Crowds a lot, personally. If you haven't seen it at all, you might try an episode or two on CR before buying to see what you think.

Oh, I forgot I had one more!
So, Crowds, Madlax, OR Humanity has Declined?

The new site is still a little glitchy in many ways for me (using Chrome); signing in still brings up no new screen, alphabetizing my wish list does NOT alphabetize it, clicking 'quick view' and/or trying to add an item to a list sometimes brings me to my empty shopping cart, etc.

I have the same issues in firefox. Shawnee has mentioned that they are aware of some of the issues, but they may not be high on the priority list to take care of immediately. You should post this in the New RightStufAnime.com thread, to help keep them reminded.

But other than that, the sale this year is severely disappointing in layout, prices, and selection. There have been a few really great bargains on a couple of older DVD and Blu Ray titles, but most Sentai and Funi items are priced virtually no different than they would be at normal sale prices during the year.

Prices have been sneaking up little by little unfortunately. Lots of factors could be at work: the price war going on in licensing, companies trying to exert more control over prices and stock, some companies opening up their own storefronts, the cost of doing business going up, a lot of older stock from the bubble years finally drying up (so those cheap singles are disappearing), and finally some people would argue that anime has been undervalued for awhile and prices are finally moving up to where they should be. It will be impacting my future purchases without a doubt (even though I'll be breaking my budget this year).

Also, BRING BACK THE ITEM COUNTER! I got such joy out of knowing I purchased the last of something left in stock Very Happy

Also put this in the New RightStufAnime.com thread. Shawnee said he was genuinely perplexed why people found this important. A few of us posted answers, but not sure if he saw them. You may want to add to the chorus of why we found this useful.

Though I haven't seen anything I want in the last few waves, it raises my hopes to see manga listed that isn't Tokyopop.

locodol shows in stock but the official release date is january
how accurate is the new store website?
the old store had a delay and was not always accurate

According to the email I just got, that's the final day of new items for the holiday sale- excluding Mega Deals (although- they have those every day regardless).

Among the remaining offerings, I'm tempted to snag up some Media Blasters stuff (Phoenix, Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan and Magical Witch Punie-chan), maybe Raideen's 2007 adaptation and Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere. Should be able to get a couple more batches before the Holiday Sale wraps up.

Personally my vote goes to Madlax.

I once again went overboard with Funi's annual sale. I spent a LOT like last year. Though like the year before I didn't buy much physical anime during the rest of the year. I pretty much waited for the big holiday sale for most things. Here's my haul from this year. Everything is on BluRay.

Purchases
Date A Live Limited Edition
Ghost in the Shell Arise Set 1
Haganai season 1
Ladies vs Butlers
Maken-Ki Limited Edition
Mardock Scramble (all 3)
Muv Luv Total Eclipse sets 1 & 2
Redline
Say I Love You
Spice and Wolf Complete Series
Tiger and Bunny Set 1

Pre-orders
Akame Ga Kill set 1
Date A Live II
Terror in Resonance

I also bought these 2 for my gf as X-mas gifts.
Gingitsune
Watamote

And I also bought these 4 over at RACS during their sale.

Eden of the East movies 1 & 2
Ghost in the Shell Arise set 2
Beyond the Boundary

I wanted to get Tiger and Bunny set 2 but it went off the holiday sale. I'll use that money for my secret santa instead. Lucky them lol. I know my gf bought me some anime as well so I'll wait to see what she got me. I'm hoping from my list she got me Noragami. Fingers crossed.

12/17 only

Angelic Layer DVD Sentai Selects TODAY'S MEGA DEAL! Your Price: $24.99

Ok, did I miss something on the Date A Live LE that was added back on 12/11/15 I think it was? I usually wait until near the end to make a purchase and now it looks like it is no longer showing up for the sale price I saw on the day it was added?

It may have been a limited time offer, like a lot of the FUNi titles have been. I'd contact TSRI's Customer Service and ask, they're really great.

She's probably right. The same thing happened to me. I wanted to order Tiger and Bunny and get both sets but I waited a few days to see what else would go on sale. By the time I made my first big purchase set 2 was back to not being on sale. Bummer.
