I've updated the list with new additions/confirmations in orange that were reported by members here. If there are any discretions, just let me know and I'll fix em. All other titles were reported by members at AOD or DVDtalk and credit goes to them.

An interesting note brought up in the thread is that you can also order titles if in store if you can't find them there. The sale price doesn't show until the cashier rings up the deal.

Hmm.. now i'm worried. is this like a ymmv kind of thing if you special order something, it might not come? =/
 
No its noy YMMV because my previous order of sorcerer hunters came in. Excel Saga is just taking way to long, It will come eventually just keep waiting and calling your store. Mine gets shipments on tuesday or wednsday.
 
[quote name='Nirvanaguy777'][quote name='Watchman']Hey, in case anyone wants to make it easier on themselves when it comes to most of the ADV titles here, and not dealing with the FYE nightmare, check out my thread here about ADV's own site sale at 50% to 75% off.

Excel's not in this deal though, sorry. You'll have to wait and wait and wait for FYE to "hopefully" come through for you.[/quote]

THREADJACKER ALERT! :lol:[/quote]

Ut-oh! Run!!1! :p
 
Well, after about a month, my Steel Angel Kurumi Collection finally arrived today! Now I get to play the waiting game again, as I just plunked down an order for all of Kino's Journey. I sure hope it'll be money well spent...
 
Anyone know if the angel of darkness live action and la blue girl live action dvd complete collections are on sale? I just saw angel of darkness vol 1 live tagged at 10.99 and bought it. I really would like the box, but prefer not to go through the embarressment of bringing that dvd to the register and, if it rings up full price, getting nothing out of it.

I have the anime, but I want the live action. I don't really care what you think about them, I just want to know if they're on sale.
 
I am beyond angry, my excel saga STILL hasnt come, soon it will be enough. Dammit too bad I dont come into work early, otherwise id bug the shit out of the shipping dude asking for my excel saga.
 
So I picked up Kaleido Star 1 at the request of a fellow CAG, and it turned out he no longer needed it. I said, ah what the hell it's only $10 and decided to watch it. To my complete surprise, I actually liked it! They had discs 2-4 at the store, so I wound up getting those, too.

Now I need to special order 5-6, but has anyone here even seen these at the store? I don't think it's been confirmed yet whether they're on sale.

DUDE! I bought the whole set, box included at ADV's sale for less than 60 bucks! You got robbed! I'd tell you where, but I don't want to be accused of threadjacking again. :roll: (hint- roll up a few posts- you'll find the link.)

Heh, I know which site you're talking about, but if you'll notice, alot of titles have been removed because of too many orders and are probably out of stock.

[-X Tut tut- a good investigator doesn't make claims that they can't back up.
I would ASSUME that the sale has shrunk due to overwhelming buyouts.
All I know is, they still got Kaliedo Star- and if I wasn't so backed up on the stuff I already have, I'd buy it too.
 
Rahxephon is an awsome series and they had it all really cheap, i already had first 3 volumes from prior purchases, but finished that off, and samuari deeper kyo also... Too bad they shipped like 3/4's of there anime out of the store now (recall the managers said cause it wasn't selling), and this was the Burlington VT one, we did have a really big selection, and coconuts also shipped theres off too, damm transworld
 
Oh my friggin' goodness. I've been waiting nearly a month for my order to come in. I just called and found out it could take a few more weeks... I'm getting oh so pissed right now. I poop on FYE.
 
can someone please check if angel of darkness live action and la blue girl live action complete are on sale? I know some people work at fye, though I'm not sure if there system shows the sale price. I went back to check the one in medford, ma but the dvd was gone. I figured I'd try a few on my way to toronto monday, but would like to know if I'm just wasting my time. Those two, and dirty pair flash, are the only ones on my list I didn't get (I think I spent about $400).
 
[quote name='hiccupleftovers'][quote name='Nirvanaguy777']Shaolin Soccer is good live action, I enjoyed it.[/quote]

I did also.[/quote]as did I :D
 
Turns out Kaleido Star 5-6 are full price at FYE, so I wound up ordering 'em cheap from ADV directly (thanks for the tip, Watchman).

As for my remaining two special order needs - Angelic Layer 7 and Steam Detectives 2 - turns out only the latter is available at the discount. So I ordered Steam Detectives and will probably go to DDD for Angelic Layer.

I have to say, the folks over at FYE in Milford, CT are very friendly and helpful. And there was no additional fee for special ordering.
 
[quote name='Nirvanaguy777']shaq-fu EXCEL SAGA STILL ISNT HERE.[/quote]

Maybe your FYE really sucks. Because I ordered mine on Monday and got it in on Friday the same week last week. So I doubt it's a huge shortage or anything.
 
Not sure if it will help anyone, but there is an excel saga in salem, NH. I purchased one on my way to concord, and I stopped by on my way back and found another one in the exact same spot. They must have had it in the back or something.
 
Still waiting for my Nadia 1 collection. I had them reorder it though incase something got screwed up been waiting over a month though.
 
My robotechs and my excel came in today ^^ (the 3rd excel i ordered, after getting one for someone here and another for a co worker i felt the urge and needed one), last week they were OOS and suddenly they popped in, I asked the manager what was up, they advised even if it is OOS the order can be filled depending on how many are floating around. Have faith!
 
[quote name='bfg9k']Getter Robo Armageddon Power Pack is $11.48 + 2.95 shipping at dvdpacific.com if anyone is interested. I ordered mine last week and got it today.

How reliable is this place? Looking at some of there prices they arn't to bad. Better then Deep Discount DVD on some stuff.
 
[quote name='trunks982']do u guys need to put 5 dollars down for preordering the excel saga?[/quote]

Yes. For any special order for that matter.
 
I checked with the company that ships to us and excel saga is backordered??? for some strange reason. So who knows when Ill get it or whatever, but Ill get it eventually.
 
[quote name='Nirvanaguy777']Its 4 dvds, wow I think Ill order it, its 4 dvds right?[/quote]

Yes, 13 episodes on 4 dvds

I've been meaning to special order Excel Saga, but haven't gotten around to it. Should I even bother now?

If your in NY probably not, I dunno my store is ridiculous.

On another note how many epsidoes is Getter Robo is it just 13 cause I only like ordering anime complete as most of you know,
 
[quote name='Medium_Pimpin']I got my Excel and Steel angel kurumi last week for anyone wondering. Usually takes around 3 weeks for pre-order.[/quote]

7th week I believe.
 
Weee, my order came in last week but I guess I never got they message they supposedly left. So if it came in last week, should be approximately a month between the time I ordered and the time it came in. I planned on picking it up later this week but I think I'll do it in a few minutes. I hope they will let me order more titles.
 
[quote name='Sway'] I planned on picking it up later this week but I think I'll do it in a few minutes. I hope they will let me order more titles.[/quote]

They will. Remember that sale prices will last until the 16th of this month.

Last time I tried I got shot down by I think it was a manager cause they were trying to clear out those titles.

As for this time, my goodness. The only reason I still go inside an FYE is because of this anime sale and the fact that I still have some credit left from their insane credit trade in values. I tried to order the Excel Saga Imperfect collection. The person who rang me up on my previous order was real nice. He asked this other guy to ring up the special order I wanted. So this guy wonders why what I wanted was so cheap. The first guy noticed a "1C" in the title, saying that it meant it was only vol 1 + box. I wasn't so sure of this because the regular price was $89.99, so I was pretty sure it was the whole collection. Then the second guy tells me that I can have it at the sale price IF they get it in before the 16th. I ask why I can't get locked in at that sale price. He says something to the effect that it's a special order item and some more bull. That's when I took my special order of Comic Party and the Slayers EA and left.

On the bright side, there was a real cute chica at Suncoast where I preordered R.O.D. The Tv vol 6.

Edit, I just realized that it was an "IC", not a "1C", meaning Imperfect Collection. Oh well, I woulda got screwed into paying the regular price.
