X/1999 vol. 12-14. Got all three volumes for less than $15 total. I'm still grinning like a mad woman. Very Happy

Small order today from TRSI:

Lucky Star Wall Scroll

I would like to get some stuff from the Yen Press sale, but with the pre-orders that I have interests in would be released after my card expires, so I will wait until next year.

EDIT:

I lied:

Pre-order

High School of the Dead GN 1

I order some things from the Bandai sale on RightStuf before it ended. I got:

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 DVD Part 3 Limited Edition
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 DVD Part 4 Limited Edition

I also bought a Got Anime? Membership to replace my expiring one.

Used a 40% off coupon at Borders to get Cardcaptor Sakura omnibus one. Paid about the same price as Amazon. Trying to help out the dying B&M (lol). Color pages FTW~! Smile

EDIT: Acutally, after looking at my receipt it was cheaper than Amazon even with free shipping. $13.11 total. I'll definitely be going there with coupon for the next omnibus.

Just placed a largish order with TRSI to take advantage of their Yen Press sale. Nice thing about this is that some of the items I ordered won't be available until the end of April 2011, which means the charge won't show up on my card for many, many months. This truly is an "order'n'forgetaboutit" situation. Anyway, I'm getting:

Black God 10 thru 12
High School of the Dead 1 & 2 (oh yeah, baybee!)
Higurashi: When They Cry 1 thru 12
TMoHS 7 & 8
TMoHS 1 thru 4 (the novels)
Yotsuba&! 9
Zombie-Loan 10

With the anticipation of a handful of figure/doll preorders coming due in the next few months (not to mention a lot of manga I want coming out in January) I've been quite good about avoid the impulse purchases... so far. This week all I got was my preorder of June's re-release of Finder: Target in the Finder v02. This is very exciting because although I have the old BeBeautiful version this means we're just that much closer to the release of v03+ which I do not have and that makes me quite happy. I also love the inclusion of the color insert pages in the June re-releases. *cheers*

Also, in non-anime land, while waiting for Sherlock to air on Masterpiece Theatre I caught a great documentary about Native Americans in film (Independent Lens - Reel Injun) which led me to buy Smoke Signals-- and it was good.

TRSI Dark Horse sale

Cardcaptor Sakura Omnibus 2
Chobits Omnibus 1
Chobits Omnibus 2
Clover Omnibus
Neon Genesis Evangelion: Shinji Ikari Raising Project GN 7
Neon Genesis Evangelion: Shinji Ikari Raising Project GN 8

I went on a CLAMP craze this time with the Dark Horse sale. I also double-dipped for Chobits despite having all of the Tokyopop GNs. It took me a look at the product's high quality at a bookstore which led me to double-dip.

eBay

Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Box 2 (of 4)

I was so happy to see this in the mailbox after spending a long time looking for this. It was listed as "Like New" condition but I was not going to be choosy since it was a steal at the "Buy It Now" price.

With this addition, I now have all of the original G Gundam box sets.

Amazon Prelude to Black Friday Video Game Deal

Demon's Souls - Greatest Hits with Art Book and Soundtrack CD (PlayStation 3 and Amazon exclusive)
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Limited Edition, PlayStation 3

I double-dipped Demon's Souls for the art book and soundtrack.

Hurray for Yen Press sales at Right Stuf. I ordered:

Bunny Drop v. 1-2
Higurashi v. 6
Haruhi v. 6-7
The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
Yotsuba&! v. 9

One of these days I'll actually start reading the Haruhi novels. For now, they're like 12 Kingdoms: I order the hardcovers ASAP, and then just continue to let them accumulate without ever touching them.

Wait, wait, wait! So because the bag apparently belongs to someone who I think is 4chan famous (clicked the first link in Google since I don't know who that is), their bag is worth a million dollars?

Humanity. I have lost faith in it.

Haha I'm for certain the bids were overtaken by trolls.
