What’s the likelihood of someone interested enough in spending £225 on Naruto not already having purchased at least half of the volumes already? Some dvd set hold-outs? It would be interesting to know how many of these get sold. To add to the figures and calculations: £70 off is about 22% £250...

This prompted me to watch the copies I got a little while ago for £1 more from rarewaves (minus 10% I guess). Nice price, but I already have it. I feel I should point out that there’s only 6 episodes (25min) per set (3 per disc), so you literally need both parts to make up the full 12 ep...

The email states £69.99 At Xmas s1 was £29.99, and s2 (EB) £39.99, so the flash sale is 1p more expensive. You’re probably better off waiting for s2

Wait a mo. Perfect blue vinyl shows £14.99 for me? Is £39.99 the usual price, and £14.99 the flash price?

I see that’s what’s on the website, but the email is GitS SAC 2045 1&2

It’ll likely require the £3.50 shipping, but that means it’s still about £1.50 cheaper than Xmas. They’re not issuing fixed discs though:

With 15% off, that’s about £64 for an empty milk bottle in a shoebox. Hmm. Might buy just for the hell of it. We’re almost half way through the sale. Wonder if there’s anything being saved for the last day. Small post-edit: Placed an order, and got a shipping notification just over an hour and...

By first order is purportedly on its way, to be more reassuring than the Xmas sale was. That’s something like 3 working days to despatch. Admittedly a small order (smaller event!), not much worse than comparable AoL shipping.

My order numbers show almost exactly 700 difference from the start of the sale on Friday until now (thought I may as well get that komada title, even though it’s probably such a niche title it’ll be in clearance this Xmas). I’m going to guess that the vast majority were right at the start of...

Plus £2 shipping. For want of two pennies.

The (letters in eggs) code gave a 30% discount. Don’t know what the shape letter one does.

But you have to watch GotF twice, ideally twice in a row; The first time with wide-eyed innocence. Never having read any synopsis or spoilers. The second time in full knowledge of both the inevitable ending, and the extra nuance and insight brought to earlier scenes.

It’s not a Beta tape.

It’s 2026 now. Unless I’m mistaken, next month is the release date. Which means come Xmas it probably won’t still be a pre-order, therefore no EB or redux of same. Although yes; hopefully in some offer or discount.

You’re not optimistic that they’ll manage the April (2026) release date, then? 😬 I’m assuming that’s vaguely correct, as the listing on the actual website states “with a release date of 11th May 2025”, so I guess the RNG needs to be reset.
