Funny. 
The mentioned love triangle would only get complicated by the homeowner's girlfriend desiring to wipe out the whole lot. |

Bakemonogatari BD part 1. Ah man, Bakemonogatari looks absolutely glorious in BD. I'm so glad that I hadn't decided to go for the cheaper DVD option.
Berserk complete collection (bought that a while back actually but forgot to mention it) |

His Favourite 5 is on its way! Pleasing news as I now have an excuse to reread the series for a refresh.

Just checked my e-mail and discovered that my Rightstuf preorder for Girls und Panzer just shipped today, barely over a month before its scheduled release date.

Damn. I'll occasionally get my Rakuten orders shipped a few days before release, at most. But a MONTH? That's bonkers. |

That's a perk ordering with Rightstuf. Depending on the distributor, they will ship a pre-order a few weeks to a month before the official release date if they have the items in stock and depending on how early you ordered it. I've had Funimation, Sentai and Nozomi pre-orders shipped to me weeks before their official release on a number of occasions whenever I order from Rightstuf. |

Interesting. Their prices, however, are a lot higher than other, reliable outlets. I'd prefer to wait a little longer and save $10-20. I pre-ordered GUP from Rak and paid like $38. Will I get it this week? Doubtful. But I will get it a few days before/on/close to the day of release and I'll have saved $15 (compared to Right Stuf) for my patience. Does RS ever offer any discounts that can match (or at least come close to) competitor prices? What are the benefits of doing business with them if virtually all their prices are fairly higher? |

I got my preorder of GUP for $38.99, roughly around the time that the announcement of Sentai's December slate was made a few months ago. The price hike is likely due to demand for the series, so my lower price is probably just a case of ordering at the right time while demand was still low. As for discounts, Rightstuf frequently holds special sales that offer bigger discounts on either select distributors or their entire stock at certain points of the year that can also get milked and they do offer free shipping for Standard Shipping if you are a US customer and make orders that are $49 or more. Is RAK Robert's Anime Corner? If so, I believe Rightstuf offers cheaper shipping rates than they do and you would need to order more in value before you get free shipping on Standard Shipping. |

If you wait for a Sentai sale, you'll get 40% off the MSRP. That would bring the TRSI price of the BD of GuP down to $41.99, which makes it already cheaper than RACS. Then if you have a GotAnime membership ($12 for a year) you'll knock a further 10% off the price, bringing it down to around $37. And as has been stated, if you spend over $49, you get free US shipping. I prefer TRSI over RACS anyways, but it's not like I'm getting ripped off by shopping with them. |

Rak = Rakuten. Their prices are already at or below RS (even after all the discounts are factored in), sometimes they offer free shipping (although paid shipping is never exorbitant), and they allow you to accrue 'points' based on the amount of money you spend (I think it's like 1% of all your purchases; so if you spend $100, you get 100 points which equals $1 towards your next purchase, so on and so forth). May not sound like a lot, but for someone like me who typically spends about $80-100 with them every month or so, it adds up.
The only thing I DON'T like about them, is that they're a marketplace. While it's good for comparison shopping and/or finding an alternate retailer if one is out of stock of a certain item, the main supplier is Buy.com. When you pre-order something, it's automatically pre-ordered with buy.com; you have no other option to pre-order with a different seller. While buy.com usually offers a great price at the time of pre-orders, I've run into a problem where I'll pre-order something, and the day of its release, it'll be instantly 'out of stock' through buy.com but all the other retailers will have it; making your pre-order pretty much useless. What's worse is that they'll take pre-orders for items that they sometimes will NEVER get in stock through buy.com. Good news is it's easy to cancel an order and then immediately place it with another seller (and usually for a few dollars less) after the title is released, but still, it's a hassle. |
