I just found Walmart.com has all 4 sets of FMA Brotherhood at 75% off retail. No free site to storeshipping available and there is tax so that brings the total to $58.17. Great deal! I just ordered them as a birthday gift to myself.

Good find. Seems like Wal-mart has a lot of cheap anime right now. Like Yu Yu Hakusho seasons 3 and 4, part 1 of Soul Eater, and season 2 of Gunslinger Girl $7.96 and that's just on the first page.

*sigh*

Blu-Ray screws me over again. Maybe I should sell my Blu-Rays in favor of this...

How big is the quality difference between the Blu-Ray and DVD?

Ooo...great find! Definitely going to have to get Part 3 and 4 with my next check this month. ^^ And very likely, since it'll be after it is released, it may be eligible for Site-to-Store free shipping.

Hmm.

Isn't Part 4 out April 5th? They have every one of these as listed for March 31st.

Not only is that off, but it isn't even a tuesday. Raises a few alarm bells.

To be honest, it wouldn't be the first time Walmart broke release date on something - I've often found things in store anywhere from a day to a week or more in advanced, although I doubt they are supposed to.

This could be a special deal they worked out, and got permission then to break release date. I don't know, since I don't work behind the scenes on these things, but it's a good possibility.

Point taken. I recall when I snagged Xenosaga Ep III about two weeks ahead of date.

wow what a great deal. Thanks a ton for sharing this.

The only issue I have is that the email says I Will not be charged until the item ships but within seconds i was already charged. So i'm not sure how i feel about that but other then that thanks!

Same...

There's a lot of weird things about this one, but, I've never really had any issues in the past with Walmart...so, we'll see.

i've ordered suspiciously cheap dvd's from walmart before and there has never been a problem. also, i advise to order now because the price could change once it's no longer a pre-order or any day really. a while back, they had a sealab 2021 bundle of every dvd set for 80% off retail. i waited a week and ended up missing out on the deal. they changed the price back to normal.

That's why I got them now instead of waiting till friday when i get paid. I already bought a ton of anime last week but this was just to good to pass up.

That is a great deal, for sure. As a Canadian, I can't take advantage of it, because walmart.com doesn't ship to my fair land. I want to get the BDs, anyway.
