From what I understand you have to specifically request whether you want items to be shipped as they come. If not, I think they ship em when they have your whole order. As to how to go about doing that, I'm not quite sure. Email or call them? I'd probably have done that myself...but I'm cheap. Now that I think about it, I may be able to divide up my purchases so that the out of stock ones and the so far unreleased one are in the same shipment, and if it's still above $49 I won't have to pay S&H and have the in-stock be shipped to me right away for free. I'd like to assume they'd let me do that, and if not, guess I'll just have to suck it up. Canceling my order now and then making two separate ones will only cost my much more now. Just checked, and turns out everything in my order is 'on order from the manufacturer'. Well, whatever. Tis life. But, anyone have a ballpark guess as to when that'll change? |

It is my experience with RightStuf that when you make an order that contains mixed availablities (available, backorder, preorder) they will not hold your order until it's complete and will ship it out in parts at their discretion. I've found that they'll usually wait at least a week (or two), as if waiting for backordered items to arrive before shipping out what's available on hand. Then, when the remaining items show up, they are sent out.. even individually, if they choose/enough time passes.

Erm, the DVD cases rather, not the DVDs themselves.

Geneon sale!! I've been waiting for this forever. Finishing up FOUR series, and I do believe that closes out my singles buying for good (except Hellsing, which doesn't count, since it comes out so slowly, and is more like a movie). Waiting for Baccano and DtB to come out in sets, which I don't understand why they just didn't do that in the first place.
Shounen Onmyouji v. 5-6 Story of Saiunkoku pt. 2-3 Kyo Kara Maoh v.9 Rozen Maiden Traumend v.3 And from the Weekly Specials: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Ltd. ed. I also recently found some little Moyashimon figurines and rubber stamps that were too darn cute to pass up. I bought 3 stamps (Aspergillus oryzae, Lactobacillus yogurti, and Cladosporium trichoides) and a randomized figurine, which turned out to be an Aspergillus oryzae. |

Hurray for a Geneon sale. Went ahead and completed the two series I have outstanding from them and bought:
Rozen Maiden Traumend DVD 3 and When They Cry DVD 6 And with this lasting until March, as long as I stay away from eBay, I'll be well under my budgeted 'pleasure spending' for the month, yay! A good thing since I had to buy a new (used) car last week. |

Went to Barnes and Noble today, and was a little saddened to see the lone shelf of manga there. v.v However, I still came out with something:
Vampire Knight vol. 1 Ceres: Celestial Legend vol. 1 Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles vol. 1 I originally went in there for Vampire Knight and to get the first two volumes of Ouran High School Host Club, but to my sad surprise they didn't have any Ouran manga on their shelf. v.v Ah well, so I start up two of my other wanted collections instead (I still want my Ouran though!). |

Well, at the very least they aren't waiting for Claymore 14 to be ready; I just received an email today that confirmed the shipment of 1-13. With any luck, by time I'm done reading them 14 will have arrived. Now if only I had money I'd partake in that Geneon sale, also. There's a few titles I want to get before they're sold out completely. On another note; Gankutsuou for $50? I suppose the $13 more I had paid doesn't make a whole lot of difference (especially considering it was about a year ago), but still. The box set normally goes for $150. That's quite a price drop rightstuf has for it currently. |

Forgot to report on my TRSI-viz sale (pre)order last week. So here it is (all manga):
20th Century Boys 3-4 Bleach 27 Ouran High School Host Club 12 Pluto 4 Real 5 Slam Dunk 3-5 Vagabond 28 Yakitate!! Japan 18 I feel like I got everything I wanted from geneon so I will probably not get anything from the current TRSI-geneon sale. I already got all the series I was worried would never get a full release: Story of Saiunkoku (Season 1) and Shounen Onmyoji (vol 6 is on its way). I wish they license some new titles soon, season 2 of Saiunkoku and Higurashi for starters. |

I'm guessing they just want to be rid of it... Especially since FUNI has the new rights to it and will be releasing their sets soon. Clear out inventory as much as possible so that there might be some market for the new release. |

I took advantage of the Geneon Sale and ordered Familiar of Zero...hopefully, I will like it.

I think I may have posted some of this before but I've sort of reworked my orders so I'll post it again. All from Rightstuf:
This shipped yesterday. Berserk GN 27 - $9.34 -For some reason they didn't get this in until 3 weeks after the release date. 
Trigun Maximum GN 6-13 - $6.66 ea. Batman Gotham Knight DVD - $13.48 -I wanted to see this but I generally heard mixed things so it's perfect if I can get it for cheap. Paprika DVD - $17.96 -This I really want to see. It kills me to pay twenty-some bucks for a single DVD though so I always wait till I find it on sale. Kurau: Phantom Memory DVD 2-6 - $4 ea. -I bought DVD 1 ages ago. I meant to see the rest but put it off etc etc. I didn't think I'd ever actually get around to seeing it but for this cheap... Speed Grapher DVD 1-6 - $4 ea. -I heard some bad things about this but also some pretty good things. Again, for this cheap I'll take a chance. Then there is this which will ship in late March once certain items are available. Berserk GN 28 - $10.46 Bacanno DVD 1-2 - $18 ea. -I'd really like to see this but I'm probably going to get really into it so I'd like to have a decent chunk of episodes to watch. Claymore DVD 2-4 - $18 ea. -Same goes for this. Red Garden DVD set 2 - $30 -I was lucky enough to have only bought vol 1-3 so far. I was actually going to buy the individual DVDs since I've got the artbox and I want to support them for putting out the individual DVDs too but unfortunately, the ol' wallet is looking a little thin these days so I just went with the cheaper option. Finally, there is this which will ship in late May. Berserk GN 29 - $10.46 Witch Hunter Robin Complete Collection - $30 -I saw most of this ages ago when I was just getting into anime. I only vaguely remember it but I've heard such good things I've been meaning to see it again. This is a great deal too since this is the actual boxed set, not just the thinpack. Mushishi DVD 1-6 - $5 ea. -I was never especially interested in seeing this. With all the praise it gets though and for this cheap, I'm there. SoulTaker DVD 1-4 - $4 ea. -I've heard this is sort of bad but interesting stylistically. Again, so cheap, I'm there. Xenosaga DVD 1-3 - $7 ea. -I like the game and always though it would make a better anime. I've heard sort of bad things but once again...cheap. Princess Mononoke DVD - $16 -I've of course seen this before but I've meant to buy it for ages. Porco Rosso DVD - $27 -I really want to see this but it kills me to pay so much. I need it to qualify for free shipping though. I may cancel it if I can find something better to replace it with. And now I'm broke.

Holds up a Nanoha box set and uses Tamaki Suou's puppy dog eyes. "Don't you want this lovely item?" I had planned to wait until next month to order any more anime but. . . the Geneon sale calls to me. Time to splurge a little! (I hope they don't hit me with a Funimation sale any time soon after this.) Going to order the second season set of Black Lagoon and parts 2 and 3 of Story of Saiunkoku at the very least. |

I'm guessing either a Tokyopop sale or a Bandai sale next from TRSI. I could go both ways, because I need to finish off the Kare Kano manga and now that I have taken a liking to Chibi Vampire I would like to get some more volumes of that. For Bandai I need to pre order Lucky Star volume 6 and maybe Pre-order Gundam 00. Hopefully by the time the next sale rolls around I'll have my refund check so I can use what I left from my getting of a Xbox 360 and bills to get some manga or anime for more of my collection. I doubt TRIS would do another Funi sale already since they did one last month. Edit: Fixed a mistake and added some more lines.
