Looks like a bunch of people are jumping on the Tenchi Blu Rays. What kind of quality are we expecting from Funimation on these? I don't usually double dip unless the quality is REALLY good, so if its just an upscale, I think I'll pass on them.

To my knowledge, these aren't upscales (or if they are, they're damn good looking ones). The JP BDs of the OVAs looked amazing, the 2nd and 3rd movies looked great, the first movie... looked good but it could've been better. But Geneons old DVDs for the movies were non-anamorphic, which this new release would obviously rectify (so regardless of quality, this is a big plus). |

Yesterday I finally got my Cheerful Japan Miku, which had been sitting in "handoff to airline" for days.
RightStuf also shipped Yotsuba&! volumes two and three, Hidemari Sketch season 1 and Girl Friends omnibus one; my Digimon Adventure collection looks like it should ship soon as well. I'm going to be such a happy boy when those come in! |

Nice haul, Alan45! It's been a sort of good news/bad news day for me delivery-wise. Good news: my used Ah! My Goddess Complete Collection showed up and it is indeed the complete collection. I can't say it's in the most pristine condition, but acceptable, imo. Especially since it cost me the grand sum of $8.69 including shipping.
Not so good with the Rurouni Kenshin Premium Box 3 set I ordered from Newbury Comics via Amazon.com. Instead of getting the Premium Box that I paid $75.07 CAD including shipping for, I got a single, regular RK DVD volmue called Shadow of the Wolf (has eppies 28 thru 31 on it). Yeah, I'm pissed. And yeah, email has been sent off to Newbury Comics. I really hate having to deal with shit like this. Another disappointment came via TRSI. Back on August 10th, I had ordered both Occult Academy Premium Edition and the Durarara!! BD boxset. I specifically ordered at that time because OA had sprung a counter and was getting low, so I pulled the trigger. For a while, it was showing up in my order as Reserved for Your Order, all well and good. Fortunately, I have a habit of rechecking my orders frequently and on Sunday I noticed the status for that item had changed to "On Order from Manufacturer." I was mystified because I knew I had not made any changes to that order, so I didn't understand how the status could change. Checked in with TRSI and found out that when I ordered there were four copies left, so I was good. However, one of those four items turned out to be defective and the other three slobs who ordered it had beaten me to the punch. Well, I can't risk losing out on that item and then trying to scoop it up on the wonderful OOP market, so I cancelled my order with TRSI and placed one with NISA which still has the item in stock. I also canceled the Durarara!! BD so the entire order is gone. I'll reorder that title from TRSI at a future time, but I don't need it now. As it turns out, this may end up saving me money in the long run. If I don't have to pay a handling fee and sales tax upon delivery of OA, then the $10.95 that NISA charges for shipping would be less than the $9.95 + 13% sales tax I would have to pay with the TRSI package. We'll see, I guess. |

I'm gonna pretend I was one of those three, even though I ordered my copy on August 6th. It makes it feel specialer. |

So what you're saying is that YOU have my copy of Occult Academy.
Huh. ... What did you say your address was, again? eta: so I got back an email from Newbury Comics and, unfortunately, they don't have the item they were supposed to send me (Rurouni Kenshin Premium Box Set 3) in stock any longer, but they are giving me a full refund and I don't have to mail back the wrong item they sent me. I've ordered another Premium Box Set 3 through Amazon.com (sold by Apex Media). This is going to be cheaper for me in that the cost of the set is $49.49 (versus $63.94 through Newbury Comics) and the shipping is only $7.98 versus $12.29 - almost a $20 savings. The only thing that makes me a bit nervous is that the condition of the item is listed as "acceptable" but there is no specific description provided, so god knows what it's gonna look like... *crosses fingers* |

Since they're shipping out now:
From Amazon and third-party retailers: Paprika Blu-ray Patlabor: The Movie DVD Limited Edition Paradise Kiss GN 1 Redline Blu-ray Romeo x Juliet Parts 1 and 2 DVD The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya DVD 1 Limited Edition Twin Spica GN 2 Wandering Son GN 2 With the Light GN 6 My Paprika DVD broke and I wanted to upgrade anyway, the reputation of Patlabor made me curious, Redline looks really pretty, and I gave away my previous TMoHS LE box to a friend because it was all damaged after years of mistreatment (by me). I also ordered two of the Patlabor movie; one for myself and the other as a very late birthday present to a friend. I've also bought Romeo x Juliet once again for myself, since I originally gave them to another friend. (Such lovely interior cover art!) Also, I have now completed collecting With the Light. Hooray! |

Their anime selection is actually much better than Best Buy, although half of it is pre-owned. But I thought they are more of a local thing. I would not have never thought Canadiens would know of Newbury Comics. |

Well, the only reason I know of them is that they are an Amazon.com marketplace seller. And that Premium Box 3 is still listed on Amazon, even though I was told they don't have it any more, so I guess they don't update religiously.

Since they didn't send it to you, they probably still do have it.
