Dude...I had an extra copy I got for free chillin' in my closet for over a year. Brand new, unopened. How the hell did I not sell it to you? Sorry man, epic fail on my part :/ |

now why would you want to discourage a collector?????? trying to complete a set for a reasonable amount of money, is part of the fun, I have most of maison ikkoku,, but of course I need volume 8, and I believe on more, and if I am patient enough, I will find one sooner of later, for a price I am willing to pay. and as for UY, I was lucky enough to buy it last november from animeigo, for the copplete price of 475.00, and that included eveything, except movie 2, with last year rightstuf still had a couple copies in stock for real cheap, so I bough it, I even have a small DVD shelf rack that holds only that show, just because of how dig it is, I have been thinking of buying some 10 disc case holders, and having some custom slip cases made, just to conserve shelf space, but I will keep the original cases in a box, just in case I ever have to sell them, but I hope that never happens |

Isn't that X box simply amazing? By the way, does your 7th dvd have a slipcover? |

In Liverpool, there's a comic shop called "Worlds Apart" which is famous for its huge-ass manga section and they have a lot of the older titles including Strawberry 100% and Boys Be amongst others... In my case, I'll be buying a lot of cheap manga through RightStuf for my main Xmas present to myself as well as well as selling some duplicates that I have and trying to complete stuff like Stray Little Devil, Imperfect Hero, Junk Force and Strawberry Marshmallow. (Thank God for MCM Expo in London and the stalls that sell cheap manga like 5 for £10 or in the case of Viz Media; 5 of their latest titles for £20 (or £4.00 per volume) |

My personal "dumb luck" story is buying all 12 volumes (in 2 artboxes) of Aura Battler Dunbine in a local used DVD store for $32 total a couple years ago.* At the time I had no clue as to the rarity of certain volumes; I'd actually just noticed the relatively low price (for a shop which often has used boxsets at greater-than RightStuf/Amazon prices) and having vaguely heard of ABD somewhere along the way, I wondered aloud in the forums if it was worth a blind buy. Another forumer basically said something to the effect of, "Yeah, uh, you really should buy that." So there you have it.
[*I'm almost positive that what happened is someone brought in the filled boxsets but when the employees went to price it, they scanned the UPC on the boxset which would be for v01 + artbox; so the entire set was assigned the v01 used price in whatever database they use to price items. I've also heard about this happening to some lucky folks who buy from used DVD websites-- they order what they think is v01 of a series and end up with the whole thing.] My personally coveted rare item at the moment though? It's got to be DVD 4 of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure OVAs. All the other volumes, along with the artbox, was had for cheap courtesy of RightStuf but that volume 4 disc is a glaring hole in my JBA collection. |

That thin Nanoha box set is rare!? I got that for just $17.00 last Christmas! Oh well, it's the only rare thing I own. Hopefully my Eureka Seven singles will be worth more in the coming years.
Well, I should say that's the only rare DVD I own. With manga the only rare books I own (that I know of) are Viz's release of Saint Seiya volumes 10 and 16. I had to pay a pretty penny for the both of 'em, but they're already worth more than when I bought 'em a few months ago. I suppose the things I'm always after are Macross and Aura Battler Dunbine. At least getting Macross is feasible. And on the subject of rare releases, did the Mysterious Cities of Gold box set come with the Japanese dub with English subtitles? |

It is! I love CLAMP and only want the best from them. If they put more of their titles out on Blu-ray, and they get brought over here, I'd scoop them up in an instant. I pray that someone will license Blood-C. And all 8 DVDs have the black Limited Edition slip covers.
There is one copy on eBay going for about $80 and a few on Amazon going between $70 and $150. Nanoha A's is even rarer then the first season. I am having a hell of a time trying to get a copy that doesn't cost $250. T-T |

Haha, you said it. I pretty much just came to the conclusion I wasn't going to get the series... ...That is until some guy on the Fandom Post forums started going through his 6 or 7 footlockers of anime and posting them online to sell. He was quite the collector. I ended up getting first dibs on many things, including:
I haven't actually paid for Nanoha/A and Crest of the Stars yet, he has them on hold for me. He'd update his list every few days he got the chance to open another locker. I was actually online the time he posted the list with Key the Metal Idol and considered purchasing it but ended up backing down due to the amount I already spent. I figured if I was meant to get the series I'd see it online again in the future. His list is still up if anyone wants to make a request. Pretty much a majority, if not all, of the rare items have been picked up, but he's still got a great selection. He's trying to raise money to help pay for his daughter's wedding, so it's for a good cause. Here it is: http://www.fandompost.com/forums/showthread.php?2092-Sale-Items-From-Rev.-Doc And would you believe it, Nanoha and Nanoha A's were on that list for at least an entire week before I requested it from him. No one else on the forum was apparently interested in it or already had it. Um... as for other rare/OOP things I have:

Does anyone have an email address for the guy on the Fandom Post thread that's selling stuff as I've signed up because I'm interested in some stuff of his and also to ask him if he shipped to the UK, but it turns out that the forum is one of those where you have to wait for someone to approve your application! |

Dear fellow collectors that own the full set of Aura Battler Dunbine singles,
Please watch them over and over again. I saw a post in this thread where someone said they haven't even opened their DVDs. Reading that breaks my little heart You are very lucky to own the show, and it really is an amazing story. Thank you. Sincerely, Dunbine fans |

Outside of Aura Battler Dunbine I've been real lucky with my DVDs.
Found both Arcadia of my youth and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure vol 4 for $7 at moviestop. Went to a comic book sale near my home and they had all anime DVDs 3 for $10. Scored vol 5-30 of Urusei Yatsura. Got Armored Trooper VOTOMS tin set for about $50. |

Dammit. Mine came without one and I was told by the guy in the store that they were all like that. When I said that all the others had one, he said that it had to be some production mistake then. Idiot. They probably will license it. I hope so anyway... |
