^^^

also:
Patlabor the Mobile Police Ultimate Collection $39.99 (from $129.99)
I forget what the chatter about this was- I'm not likely to get it though- got the singles on a previous blow out sale.

Both Shirobako sets: $8.99
This might be the first time those fell below $10.

The K-ON! Premium Box Set is $108.99 (from $279.99 - although others that have it, sell around $145-$180) with a "low-stock" marker... I was hoping it would get a bit lower before going out of stock- not like it's a necessity but it would be nice to have.

In case you hadn't noticed. Rightstuff has not only brought back all Mega Sales for the last day of their birthday sale (as usual) but all regular expired sales too.

The day after "bonus stage" sale is just bizarre.

Did you miss our sale? Well, here's a fraction of those same titles- AT MUCH WORSE PRICES!

It's the "you should have been here yesterday, fool" Sale.

Barnes & Nobles has buy 2 get 1 on Kodansha and Vertical manga. I'm awaiting an inevitable additional discount code that will likely stack. And free shipping at $35 online

*edit and there's a code now for $5 off $30-$59.99 or $10 off $60+, and it does stack

IF you like buying digital (I pretty much think "what are you getting?")
This Microsoft sale may be to your liking:

RightStuf's first week seems...really underwhelming. Which is honestly great news for my wallet, but I'm kind of surprised. Most of the FUNi titles aren't even 50% off, the Sentai stuff is predictably cheaper via their own sale...there are are only a handful of things that seem worth it.

That wasn't their first week though. That was the Black Friday Sale. Today is a Cyber Monday WEEK Sale... THEN the usual 3-4 week holiday sale, Maybe Thursday? That's when they usually start the weekly sales. I assume better deals in that.

But hey, "Up to 98% off"
Because I know you want the single vols. 1,2,4&5 of A Little Snow Fairy Sugar Rolling Eyes

No, it's definitely all part of the same sale. RightStuf's holiday sales always start the week of Black Friday and continue on into December. If you select "Everything on sale" in the filter options, you'll see the number continuously increase by about a thousand items every week.

Come to think of it, they have switched it around in years past. And you're probably right about this time, I guess their BF items are part of their long sale. But the naming conventions are different. They've recently just clearly called it one "holiday sale".

I just looked up this old thread from 2015, a year in which they listed a couple hundred new items every day from 11/12-12/16 with Mega Deals through 12/27

For years before that I distinctly remember Right Stuff completely skipping Black Friday (and the talk of this forum was Deep Discount's insane BF anime sales...and failure to deliver many ordered items).

About them being underwhelming- that's not exactly new either. People were even complaining about that 2015 sale.

[edit- 12/8]
Well, dang it. Didn't want to have a told-ya-so moment there. I guess my first guess was correct.
