This week, Best Buy is having a 50% off sale on select anime box sets. (I was tipped onto this earlier in the week from this thread on Cheap Ass Gamer but waited until now to write about it so as not to get anyone in trouble.) The titles being discounted are:
- Tokko: The Complete Series - $12.49
- Elfen Lied: Diclonius Report Thinpak- $15.99
- Noein Complete Series Box Set - $17.49
- Dragon Ball Z Season 4 Uncut Box Set - $19.99
- Mars Daybreak Anime Legends Set - $19.99
- Fullmetal Alchemist Season 2 Part 2 (ep. 41-51) - $19.99
- Neon Genesis Evangelion Platinum Thinpak - $28.99
- Samurai Deeper Kyo Complete with GBA game - $29.99 [game trailer]
- Robotech Protoculture: Collection (85 dub-only episodes) - $37.49
These prices are also now up online while some of them already backordered. I’ll going to get Noein and Tokko for sure, and perhaps Elfen Lied, and pump up my Reward Zone points in the process while also snagging R.E.M.’s new album this week. Maybe I’ll get xxxHolic #1 as well…
P.S. A warning: the Eva thinpak discs lack the extras from the singles, something I found out during my interview with Sean McCoy who had done a couple episode commentaries for #20 and #26. I believe the Elfen Lied thinpak also lacks its previous extras.

The Canadian Bestbuy website still lists the Noein boxset at $32.99, despite the strong Canadian dollar! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr…..
Oh, this is excellent. I think I’ll pick up Elfen Lied sometime this week!
IcyStorm: Make sure your local BB’s have it in stock. I went this afternoon to the one in Natomas and there was only 1 copy of Elfen Lied on the shelf. So I bought that one, Eva, Tokko, and Noein to add to my soon-to-conquered stack of box sets.
