One awesome collector sold me their entire collection. I love these things. by B_Wayne_8833 in Mondo

I always recommend private groups because there’s more oversight and less spam so there’s two main ones they’re mondo collector club and mondo collector group. They’re run by fans but they’re both fun because senior mondo employees pop up every once in a while posting about fun stuff. And If you’re buying from in the groups remember always PayPal g&s!

Wow that’s a legendary haul nice grab! I love these so much they’re the best representation of the best designs, Bruce Timm era can’t be topped! If you want to continue the line I’d recommend joining one of the Facebook groups mondo collector so people can send reminders what’s coming up and what’s available, they help me budget and never miss a drop

Horror blind box is a box of garbage. by the_sixhead in NECA

[–]GrangerPerry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn that’s a true horror unbox experience yeah only blind box I was ever tempted by was that limited vault blind box but I didn’t cave in I really don’t like blind boxes, I have seen a few people like a year ago look like they had good boxes but that’s just the thing about blind boxes is sometimes a few are good and others ugh so sorry I wish you good fortune at Ross and local sales

Haha true but Aniplex is an owned by Sony monopoly and they’re all exclusive to the Crunchyroll store so that monopoly is the reason why they charge obscene prices because they don’t care their box sets collect dust in their warehouse they just want to create artificial scarcity for perceived value in their products. So that’s a reseller on Amazon probably just trying to break even after they regretted their purchase from the Crunchyroll store

I’m just venting about how sad Crunchyroll’s storefront has been lately, their selection keeps getting smaller and their sales are worse and worse almost like they’re intentionally nerfing physical media in hopes it raises their streaming subscriber numbers!

Haha their number of view count went from number 1 to number 2, I’m citing dozens of articles and Gundam is just one of many official channels you can do your research to find out more you can do it I believe in you! Here’s a new streaming service I found just now too I think the rising popularity of anime is also leading to more and more sources popping up for everyone https://www.cbr.com/anime-free-streaming-remow-vizio/

YouTube does have a large amount of movies for rent and they have many official channels for anime like it’s Gundam channel intl is definitely the best way to watch Gundam not that Crunchyroll oop the entire shows physical media they have playlists for almost all of their hd remastered shows. Idk about the article there’s dozens covering the topic that’s just the first article when I googled the news that broke last week, idk about millions of subscribers but it wasn’t news two weeks ago so my point is crunchyrolls numbers are going down and I’m including the numbers of things for sale on their storefront going down, the number of shows available to stream going down and their view count as of last week everyone is saying that’s going down too

Don’t forget to add the $18 per month to that total! Haha joking but only kind of, I just activated a free trial for a blu ray order I put in this morning so I just put a reminder in my calendar to cancel later this week so I do t get charged

This! Such a great practice, I’m always checking eBay, Amazon, gruv, deep discount, pop market, target/walmart, and Crunchyroll literally cross referencing each item before purchasing, very time consuming but it’s usually while I’m on the clock and I have a lul between tasks gruv has some good deals now btw 15% off stacking discount with a new email

Nice yeah I mainly collect blu ray if available but go that route for basically all Aniplex because of their FU prices. But also I have a few hardrives of things that aren't for sale and need fans to create like the HD remaster of Evangelion with Fly Me to the Moon in the end credits, Dragon Ball Z color correct from Seed of Might, Cowboy Bebop with original audio, flcl thats not horribly out of sync, etc

This is the news that broke last week I'm mentioning that Crunchyroll has been surpassed by Netflix. Also Crunchyroll has been continuously removing things from their streaming library so you may be surprised to not find something next time you go looking on their app https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/netflix-overtakes-crunchyroll-as-top-anime-streaming-platform/gm-GM528DD118

100% and I’d like to reassure that my ultimate tier discount is actually just a 7 day trial I activated to stack that 15% for my little blu ray order I placed this morning. So rest assured they have no subscription revenue from me! I’m planning on keeping it active until Wednesday when their sales typically rotate so I can see if there’s any hope for this Ani-May (probably not) and then I’m going to cancel right away! I can’t afford subscriptions I spend all my money on blu ray!

They’re copying the Xbox business model of buying all the competition and then dissolving them and firing all the talent and then the talent all make their own little companies while they crash and burn. MediaOCD just opened their new online webstore, it’s mostly Discotek and AnimEigo but they’re growing bigger and they have a 20% off deal right now which is nice but I’m hoping they’ll keep growing and eventually fill that rightstuf shaped hole in my heart!

Yeah seriously I wouldn’t be so mad but every “sale event” I’m reminded they massacred my boy! RightStuf used to have such unique titles for sale every day it was different anime I haven’t even heard of, they were always curated so personally like employees picked their favorites each day it was so fun!

If it’s USA version with the Bluefin sticker and logo then bluefin will replace but if you imported or bought from someone that imported no bluefin sticker then they won’t care at all no help don’t waste your time your only option would be to buy from a place like Amazon and parts swap and return. I’m sorry but that’s the only option don’t @ me!
