we need to list in our posts where we're from so we know if it's worth it to drive to BB and fulfill our anime addiction (well most of us anyway)

List of stores?

list of stores everyone has visited in their posts...so other anime fanatics don't attempt to visit that particular store if it has been cleaned out

Ok for those of you guys having problems getting the discount on the blu-ray titles, it seems like the discount is automatically taken off Afro Samurai Season 1 Blu-ray which makes it 9.99. Take this title up with other blu-ray titles you want, and when they say the discount doesn't apply to blu-ray, you can clearly point out the discount on the Afro Samurai Season 1. It just worked for me when they refused to give me Samurai 7 BD boxset initially and when I went back the second time I included Afro and they conceded.

That is what I found too. However I didn't check the "Family" section so they might be hiding out there. Will have to check tomorrow.

I was hoping to pick up more Studio Ghibli DVDs at my BB in Kingston, NY but I did score:

Howl's Moving Castle - 11.99
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Regular Edition) - 10.99
5 Centimeters Per Second - 10.99

Went to the store in Eastlake, and picked up Code Geass pat 1 & 2. They still had quite a bit when I left around 4:00.

tonymontana313

Good find for that price.

Since you started suggesting it, why not have be the first sharing where youve been at today?

tonymontana313

What?

Abe.

Of course, none of the stores near me are having the clearance

DVDmaniac14

i haven't been ANYWHERE today unfortunately...ii ask everyone in the forums becuz i'm worried that places will be cleaned out...im making my 70 mile trip down to BB tomorrow (yes...it's THAT worth it..given it hasn't been cleaned out)

Just go to Bestbuy.com and see if the items you want are in stock at your store. Would be a huge waste of money otherwise.

tonymontana313

I would not depend on in store locater as it's wrong about half the time especially with a lot of limited product such as anime. In store locator will only show in stock if there are more than 3 items in stock. Imagine my surprise when I went to the store this morning and finding a lot more than I expected due to the inaccuracy of the in store locator.

DVDmaniac14

ye i was about to agree 100% with tonymontana...im going to venture out myself as im sure at least ONE best buy will have everything i need/want/need

Went to Leesburg, VA and did pretty well on Sunday:

Le Chevalier D'Eon box - $25
Bleach movie - $10
Go Lion set 3 - $10
Full Metal Panic: 2nd Raid - $25
School Rumble 1st Semester box - $25

The website says the Berserk set's release date is the 17th, but the availability says in-stock. I hope they'll stock it in these stores on the 17th. $15 for that set would be excellent.

so it goes

I went yesterday morning to the Hadley, MA store and got Gundam Wing Complete Volume 1 for $19.99. Went back today after work around 3 to pick up Cowboy Bebop but all three they had yesterday are already gone. I may go back some time to get the Guyver complete collection, but I'm not sure if I want to bother. They had 6 copies so I'm not in a huge rush and I'd be totally ok with not getting it.
Is it possible the percent off will go up if things don't sell or will they just ship everything out to nearby stores that will still be carrying anime?

Lucky101

My understanding from the manager I spoke to yesterday about the anime is it's not going away. This is a sale to get rid of the excess anime. They are reducing the space and will only be carrying top selling items. He informed me they have not gotten any shipment for awhile now. The shelves looked very slim. He told me the sale just started and the shelves have alway looked like they don't have much. Now, the other stores have alot of product.

Oh really? I was planning on not going because of the instore locator. Maybe I will check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

You got ripped on that Samurai Seven, I got the Blu-Ray set for $34.99.

Made my 1st stop today, my BB actually had quite a large selection left, I wish I knew more about anime b/c there were a lot of complete sets I was tempted to get.

I just picked up a few things that I wouldn't have gotten if not for the sale.


Naruto: Uncut Box Set 12 Limited Edition (the only LE I've gotten of the series, sorry, I am a Naruto dork though, I've been buying all the regular uncut sets, but I totally just got this one for the awesome Rock Lee figurine. I LOVE IT!

Naruto: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow 3-Disc Steelbook

Samurai 7: The Complete Series (Blu-Ray) - Never seen it, but for $35 I couldn't pass this up, got the clerk to just override the price.

And some pics of my haul. . .



Hopefully you all can read my receipt, just showing proof that the Blu-Ray set can indeed be had for $35!

tsetse27

Went to two local BB and dropped about $230.00...

I am not going to repeat what I got as pretty much same what other listed above.

However, I was refused for getting blu-ray at 50%... maybe I was too greedy as I tried to get both Freedom and Gunbuster sets...

tonymontana313

Uh actually no he didn't. He got the Samurai Seven Collector's Set that has the guidebooks for each volume. It sells for 89.99 on Amazon and is currently out of stock. I would have easily picked it up for 39.99 to go along with my Blu-ray version of this.

Sweet Baby James

You must really like Samurai 7.

tonymontana313

For those having trouble getting the Samurai 7 Blu-ray set, it can be had for around 43 dollars on amazon.ca so for a couple of bucks more, it could save you the hassle of having to argue with BB employees.
