Shit, looks like my order of Gundam 00 Season 2 won't be filled. Managed to get 08th Ms Team reserved though. Why wouldn't TRSI put up counters for these sooner?

Wait...what? I've been watching the whole Bandai listing like a hawk, even though I probably wouldn't buy a few of the remaining things I don't own sight unseen, but now all of a sudden titles start getting yanked without so much as a counter going up beforehand? And didn't Bandai's press release state that their last wholesale orders would be going out in mid-November?

On some of these we were told they were coming and then it must have been decided not to make more. As we know what is ending, we're trying to put up counters, those which don't have counters we are supposed to be getting more of. But that could also change. Sad

It figures. And hey look, the second season of 00 is currently listed at four hundred dollars on Amazon. Do those clueless wonders think that people are going to be willing to pay such an obscene amount just because the title went off the market a few days ago?

It only takes one person to pay it. 99% of people probably won't. Just takes that 1%.

And that one person who does screws over the rest of us, because it then justifies these third-party sellers in jacking the prices up so insanely high.

...heh, that's almost exactly like the arguments against Aniplex of America, isn't it? Razz

Yup. Folks actually pay(d) $500 for that Oriemo limited edition DVD set. Sad :<

I wish Bandai would improve on their Code Geass DVD complete collection DVD cases, my discs are totally scratched so I'll probably have to order a new set.

Again, WTK, thank you for this. Having all the titles listed and linked to TRSI, along with the number on the counters is incredibly helpful.

the 35 sets of Eureka Seven Complete Collection 2 Anime Legends disappeared yesterday. I had it in my cart at the beginning of the day, got busy with the real world, came back later in the evening to the cart and *poof* it was gone.
