Feel the power of merchandise retrieval!! Overseas shipping was USD 21 but for limited edition items, it's still worth it. Compared to others too: Amazon.co.jp charges JPY 2,400 for just one manga! Xellos-_^, sounds like a common syndrome. Wallet am cry. LOL Dav, yeah I've watched AL before so I was looking out for Sai - love her People's Liberation Army type school uniform. TSRI might not have the AL thinpak at the same price all the time, do check their bargain bin and subscribe to their mailing list for announcements of periodic sales. quigonkenny, yeah I've joined Got Anime too since I've ordered 4 items this year. Looking forward to Black Lagoon too! Bro, I’d go for Taiwanese R3s too, except for the Chinese sub-titles… so difficult. orz

If you're going to be buying a lot from them, you really ought to join their Got Anime club as well, if you haven't already. Even on the special sale prices, you usually get a good 10% more off, for only $12 a year. And those discounts are even higher if you preorder stuff. Since their specials are usually brand based, though, it can get kind of expensive if you've got a lot of stuff upcoming from a certain studio (like Geneon and the Hellsing and Black Lagoon DVDs, in my case) at the same time. It's all worth it when they pull one of their 10 for $50 and 25 for $100 deals... Still, being able to look on my invoice at the end of the day and see the Haruhi LE DVD sets for $32.39 each (US) and know that I'm not likely to find them anywhere else for less than $40 without a bit of effort is pretty nice.

Watch out for Sai x Kaede (subteeeext). Or maybe you already know. ;) Many thanks to moy and Zyl for recommending TRSI. I might get that Angelic Layer thinpak. My old set was bought locally and as expected, nothing but cheap - price and quality. And they left out the extra bits before the opening wth... That's the first and last time I'd ever bought something from a local dealer. =.= Angelic Layer ei? Watch out for Sai x Kaede (subteeeext). Or maybe you already know. ;)
