It makes me feel like I should have waited... although it only cost me around $85 total.

I don't collect manga myself, but here are some pics for Naruto and also Bleach...

Thanks for the info on the boxed manga collections. Bought all three *Sigh* and it is just the second day of August.

Yeah, that's how it goes. Just wait until fall and winter, there will be quite a few interesting anime releases...

And sooner or later Viz will be doing some sort of a one big boxset holding 9 volumes.

Anyways, I will stick to the LE (which is 15,000 produced each volume) Thanks to this thread & WTK for the sale prices!

WTK, any news of discounted cost for a Deathnote LE - Vol. 6 coming out this month?

It may or may not happen. If it happens it won't happen for a while. Or you could import the Vol.1 + Artbox from Madman Entertainment (Australia, R4).

Not a problem. I'm going the LE route as well. I don't any good deals of Vol.6 (LE) at the moment. Maybe FYE.com will do a mail-in rebate for it around the street date. Otherwise the next better price may not happen until the DD 20% sale in November or TRSI studio sale.

I would wait for the first boxset to go on sale. It will cover the first 20 episodes and it will come out on 11/18.

Season 1 was not announced for re-releases. At the moment, I would just assume that it's very unlikely that it will happen in the future either.

Anything beyond 47% off the retail price is considered to be very good. On some occasions, FYE.com may do a rebate on it. Other than that the next DD studio sale will probably offer the cheapest price. And also Vol.1 (LE) is considered to be OOP. All of the LEs have a print run of 15,000.

You have to go through the deals of the day link on their site to get the price (kinda like Amazon GoldBox, you can only view one offer at a time and once you pass it up, you can't go back). Also, this is only volume 1, so you'd still have to track down 2-7, and I'm not sure if this one will get a reprint.
