By boxsets I mean the complete series in a box set, looking for the cheapest prices on just about any anime box set, particularly interested in evangelion/outlaw star, also the complete gumby series

AT Right Stuf you can get the comp,ete Orphen for $30.
Slayers DVD collection is $45.
DeepDiscountDVD.com is a great place to find inexpensive boxed sets. They have Outlaw Star volumes 1/3 for $30.

Check www.dvdpricesearch.com
Gives you a site-by-site comparison of prices froma bout 10 different e-tailers , but usually deepdiscountdvd.com usually beats the cometition.
And I think they only give you prices for legitiamate American DVD's and not bootlegs.

i'm pretty sure there never was an FLCL set. There as a limited edition volume 3, with a box, but that's discontinued. You can get all three volumes at BP for about 55 shipped. I ordered both those DVD's, and the Outlaw Star set from them, and both are originals, in perfect condition.

Best Prices is good (only in anime for some reason), but I hear they have rough spots in customer service. Also their price on GW Complete Operations isn't that great.

Be warned. Just because BP says it's in stock, does not neccsarrily mean it is. They get things back in stock fairly quickly, but it can be annoying.

meh, I hate buying online. Can never trust them. Leats I don't. Only thing I ever ordered online was some WWE figures. Cause it was only availlable online.
Best Buy is a pretty good place for anime dvds. Also check like Gamestop and EB for used anime. As well as Media Play.
In fact, Media Play is probbaly one of the best places. All the used dvds I bought there were like mint. Still had security stcikers in them, and everything.

I had no idea Gumby had a DVD boxset release, but indeed it does. The cheapest price I could find was $60, though, so it'll have to wait for awhile.

I sure hope you aren't aren't refering to that horrid series with Matthew Lawrence. If so, the show was actually called Super-Human Samurai Cyber squad and I don't recall it being animated. That show was awful IMO, just a crappy ripoff of another crappy series, Power Rangers, which was a second fiddle to Ultraman. Though the show was technically it was ripped from the show Gridman in Japan.

homg, SHSCS. I loved that horrible show. But I hope like hell there is no boxset of that.
Back 2 the topic: Rightstuff is good when you catch a good title on sale, like the Salior Moon S1 box is regularly $150 but on sale for $50. Fry's is also good and DDD is too.

Well I watched it this morning on the anime network and it is about two sorceresses that dress very scantly. Its alright I guess.
Duo_Maxwell
09-17-2004, 02:46 PM
I'm not a big Slayers fan. I think there's actually like 3 series, that you could almost call seasons, if I'm wrong someone can correct me.
And there's also the movies, one of which I thought was pretty decent, but as a whole I think it was subpar (judging by what i saw of the 1st series as I never bothered which watching any of the other 2).
Nirvanaguy777
09-17-2004, 02:55 PM
i definately plan on getting outlaw star, FLCL, gundam wing, gundam seed (when its done), evangelion and ruroni kenshin
dtcarson
09-17-2004, 02:56 PM
There's at least 3 series.
Slayers, Slayers Try, and Slayers Next.
Slayers was one of the first anime I got into. After about 15 episodes and one movie, though, it just started getting redundant/repetitive [how many times can Lina rely on one spell?] I liked the first couple of story arcs, but it felt like 'video popcorn' after watching a bunch of them.
The original series is about Lina Inverse, a sorceress for hire, who has size issues [both vertical and horizontal.] She runs into a big dumb sword wielding guy named Gourry, who offers to 'protect her' on the way back to wherever they came from. Lina of course says "i don't need protection" but they end up teaming up together as mercenaries. Meanwhile...there's an evil wizard who's trying to get some ancient artifact that will grant him super powers or something, and Lina and Gourry start questing for that as well, sometimes challenging the 'evil wizard'.
that's the first big arc of the first series. Never watched Next or Try.
Naga, the tall sorceress with huge tracts of land, came in a later season I believe.
It's not a bad series, it's kinda fun and has some humor, but it wasn't on the top of my list to get when i started buying DVD.
Anyway, not to beat a dead horse, but
Rightstuf.com [sign up for their mailing list]

And keep an eye out at EB or GS used dvd sections; I picked up Slayers the Motion Picture there for abotu 7 bucks.

http://incolor.inebraska.com/stuart/spiderman/
Actually, all shows were ripped from Ultraman 1st and Spiderman 2nd and I'll tell you why. When Ultraman came out in the early 70s, Marvel wanted to cash in on the giant monster craze. Marvel actually teamed up w/ Toei, the guys usually responsible for all things Godzilla and the like, and made a Japanese show based on Spiderman in 1978. The main character, Peter Parker, was renamed Takuya Yamashiro and instead of being stung by a radioactive spider, he gets a bracelet from a spider alien from the planet, wait for it, called Spider :roll: Anyway, this changed up from Ultraman in that instead of growing big to fight the monster, spiderman would get in his spaceship Marveller :lol: which would then change into a giant robot named Leopardon (why a spider would have a robot named after a jungle cat, i'll never know).
And toei is now offering a DVD box set of the series:

They once had a roasting of spiderman in Toyfare on twisted Mego Theater and they dug this show up... There's spiderman going... "But I needed the money. It was in Japan, I didn't think anyone would know!" Then they dug up a scene of him in a porn with Sue Richards.

Cardcaptors [the English dubbed, edited, out of order series], or Cardcaptor Sakura [subtitled only, in original order?]
I don't know about Cardcaptors, but the only CCS complete series I've seen have been pirated versions. TRSI had a deal a while back where you could get volumes 1-9 and 10-18 for 99$ each, I believe; and individual volumes for 11.xx or so. Very good deal for those disks, they're hard to find cheaply [I've found disks 1-5 for under ten bucks each, but they were closeout type deals; the cheapest I found 6+ for was at least 18$.]
Nirvanaguy777
09-24-2004, 10:16 PM

dtcarson
09-25-2004, 12:07 AM
It was a TRSI weekly special a couple months back :(
Their current sale is 33% off all Geneon releases using code 'tsukiko' , including CCS, which would bring it to about 17.80 a disk, which is not a real incredible deal.

Yeah, but its only $3 extra for priority shipping. And they have great prices at sphiatt. Unfortunately my FLCL DVD I got for free keeps skipping on the last three eps. I can get another one for free when I decide to splurge on some more anime though. They even got japanese movies like Hero and the real ring and grudge.

Wow did everybody and their mother raise the price on the set or what? It was a lot easier to get a deal on the Blue Gender box when it first came out, guess that ship has sailed. Best bet is probably going to be ebay on it.
A quick search shows nothing but bootlegs listed right now, but completed auctions shows 3 or 4 legit sets and none went over 50 bucks.

Try www.digitaleyes.net
they sell used anime dvds at reasonable prices, and if you keep your eye on the site, they occasionally have REALLY good deals, like each saber marionette J collection for only 7$ apiece, that's 21$ for the entire tv series, or Brain powered (a decent show) they had a little while back each collection for only $4.50
oh yes, and outlaw star perfect collection might still be on sale at rightstuf.com for only 35$

On the weekly special at right stuff you can get Now and Then, Here and There for $30. $10 a disc. I highly recommend it, but not for the young.

Unfortunately it's not the box set, so you won't get the bonus disc. If you don't care about extras though, it's a pretty good deal.
They also added a Neo Ranga bundle (disc 1-6 for $39.95) this week, though I can't say I know much about the series.

NeoRanga's a pretty good series overall and as moiety mentioned that's a pretty unbeatable price for all 6 DVDs. I have the 1st 3 volumes already, but if I didn't I'd be on that deal (actually it may even be cheaper to just get the deal really).
moiety
11-12-2004, 11:55 PM
Duo: you probably would be better off buying the bundle for the last 3 DVDs. Then the first 3 you could trade off or sell on eBay. :P Glad to hear it's a good series. I hadn't heard much about it, but figured I'd give it a try.
moiety
11-17-2004, 08:47 PM
Is rightstuf.com usually on the slow side getting orders out? My order has been in the processing phase since the 12th. I've never ordered from them before so I just wanted to know if this was normal. Thanks.
Duo_Maxwell
11-17-2004, 09:54 PM
Did you get it shipped w/ economy? If so it can take a little while because it's simple metered mail and if it's a big sale item for that week it doesn't help. I think the longest they took to get me an order was about 3 weeks. Their disclaimer on their site says like 2-5 weeks or something, but I've never had one take that long and I've haven't been screwed over by them at all yet either.
Hope your order goes through and you like Neo Ranga. I would've ordered it, but I decided to buy MGS 3 instead. I do like the show though even if it kinda drags at the end.

I think I did use Economy. Actually, I jumped the gun in making that post. It shipped this morning. I just didn't know how fast/slow their shipping was (and I didn't even factor in the shipping type). Thanks for your response!

Generally they're slow for their weekly specials. I think because of demand on their supplier. I placed an order for the Outlaw Star Boxed Set and the His/Her Circumstances boxed set around the 12th and it just arrived today.

Longest i've ever had a nonbackordered item stay in the "processing" phase was about 2 days and even after that my item arrived the day after it was shipped. Don't really see how Rightstuf can be slow x-p.

I'm really tem[pted to pick up the complete DNAsquared for $45. Then maybe get the box separate somewhere.

NeoRanga's a pretty good series overall and as moiety mentioned that's a pretty unbeatable price for all 6 DVDs. I have the 1st 3 volumes already, but if I didn't I'd be on that deal (actually it may even be cheaper to just get the deal really).
That happened to me with Excel Saga. I needed disks 4-6, but then the Imperfect Collection came out, and Best Buy had a sale, and i had a coupon, so it was cheaper to rebuy the set, especially when I could then trade/sell my original disks 1-3.
On TRSI, they should tell you the inventory status of the item on the item details page. But most of the things on the specials list, especially any really good buys, you might have to wait a bit for. I don't mind, I get economy shipping [usually free] and since I'm saving so much money, I can deal with waiting.
I had to wait about 2 weeks for one disk, and about 3 weeks for one box set one time.

I can't recommend RightStuf enough for anime purchases. I used to go for the best deal, but ended up having problems with customer service, shipping delays, or general problems that I could have done without. RightStuf is quick, ships on time (or early), and if you are patient or smart you can get your anime cheaper than anywhere else (even DeepDiscountDVD).
Things to look out for:
Weekly Sales at RightStuf. They usually have box sets for a steal, and every week they put something new up.
Studio Sales at RightStuf. Usually you can save 40% off of retail with one of their studio sales. Usually a studio will go on sale twice a year, sometimes even more. Right now it's Funimation.
GotAnime Subscription at RightStuf. It's only $12.99 and WELL worth it. You save 10% off your orders always, and coupled with a studio or daily sale you can get some great prices. The 40% studio sales will get you about a 46% discount.
Free Shipping at RightStuf. You can get free shipping with orders over $100, but during their studio sales you can "cheat". It will take the MSRP total for shipping, so you can get free shipping for an order about half of the $100 minimum.
