All from Best Buy

The Vision of Escaflowne Super Legends 33$ - it was one of the first series I bought, except it was bootleg, back when I thought all the super cheap anime on Amazon marketplace were legit, and it took me 4ish years to buy it again.

Shin-Chan season 1 part 2 - 20$ been trying to get all of this when i can

I have bad vacation spending spree syndrome-ish and allot of anime I still haven't watched, but i still buy more.

Moribito Vol. 6 DVD.

BTW why is it so hard to find the Lucky Star OVA? I tried to rent it through Netflix, and the wait was "Very Long" and I have yet to see it in Best Buy/Fry's/Hastings. Even Amazon says there is a long wait for it...


Given the asking price at right stuff, probably easier/cheaper to order it there ($11.24 currently, often on sale for $8.99).

It is pretty good if you like Lucky Star, 3 rewatches so far for me. I love this stuff (but would have loved to hear the dub on it, Lucky Star was a rare show I enjoyed both tracks on).

OVA's and Netflix are pretty hit or miss.

From Rightstuf

Death Note box set 1 and 2
Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya (hardback)
Sailor Moon SuperS Movie (last one!)

Death Note is a blind buy that I've been wanting for a while, but the price was never right. Rightstuf has both boxes for $24.99 each and I couldn't turn away from it. The Sailor Moon movie also helped convince me to go ahead and get them. This should be my last order until the holiday season so I can really splurge.

Just picked up the special edition 2-disc region 2 volume 1 of Haibane Renmei signed by its creator Abe Yoshitoshi. I also picked up an autograph for my region 1 volume 1 disc from Carrie Savage, the English voice for Rakka. I am pretty sure I am not going to sell them but I would like to know what they are worth. I have searched the internet, and I haven't found anything remotely similar. Let me know here or by PM if you know the value.

Just bought:
Bleach Season 2
Planetes vol2(to replace my scratched to hell disc that doesn't work)
Royal Space Force: Wings of Honneamise bluray
Full Metal Panic Fumoffu Vols 1-4+artbox

I hate buying stuff off ebay because it takes frigging forever to ship.
I also officially don't have money anymore.

They're worth what someone will pay for them.

I realize that doesn't help you, but honestly, that's pretty much where it stands. People usually get their autographs in person at cons, and don't ever part with them- meaning there's no product out there to support a market for them. I have an Abe autograph myself (on a Haibane Renmei autograph square, no less). I know there's more out there, since they passed out the squares at the autograph panel itself. However, I'll be shocked if I ever see one for sale, since I'm sure most of the people who got one have it tucked away in their collections or framed on the wall.

If you ever get to a point where you want to sell it, I'd try contacting the folks who run your local convention... I don't know about elsewhere, but Sakura Con's annual art auction always features signed pieces, so the people who run such an event are probably going to be the best informed about how much your piece might sell for.

Having been able to decide on a game to buy I decided just to try a new manga series. Picked up Shugo chara vols. 1-6 as I feel like having another cute series to read during this dark cold period of the year Laughing

    Anime
  • Wings of Honnêamise Blu-ray
  • Moribito V.5-6
    Manga
  • Claymore V.15
    Novels
  • Crest of the Stars V.3
    Cinema
  • Dragon Blue


I kind of broke my own rule. See I try not to spend more than $35 on a movie length DVD. But I really wanted Honnêamise and at the time TRSI said they only had 14 left. So I pulled the trigger. Of course now they say they have 49 left. Eh, it was only $5 over my limit and I really wanted it.

Also haven't read Crest of the stars, but I absolutely loved the anime. Hopefully the first two will get here soon.

Just picked up the following:

Dragonball Season 2
Bleach Season 4
Kujibiki Unbalance
and, as an older pick up to go with the earlier Blood + Set 2,
Blood The Last Vampire

Sadly, an itchy clicking finger netted me a second DB set, which I obviously don't need. Now to find a place to offload it!
