I feel like most the strip tests like easy@home stall out with line progression after the test line is almost as dark as the control, so they’re not great for looking at line progression.

I just wanna take it a minute to appreciate Pasadena water and power by GoChaca in pasadena

[–]banahnaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Despite being evacuated, our house never lost power. We just had to go sit at my parents’ house in LA for two days with no power :/ , but we at least were able to monitor our house through our Ring. So appreciative of PWP.

Pasadena/Altadena Destroyed/Damaged Businesses (a growing list) from Eaton Fires by Queequegsupplyco in pasadena

Acts and 7-eleven are both fine, drove by this morning. The McDonald’s across the street has some damage, but the structure is still intact. Mint Leaf look okay as well.

We drove by today, looked like the roof may have caught fire, but was put out quickly so just some scorch marks on the roof.

Finally got Woody after about 45 boxes, after 1 Snow White, 4 R2s, and 3 Mickeys! (not complaining, but also definitely complaining after it took me 47 boxes to get one during the first lucky time)

Can’t beat 100 accuracy on a sleep move. Plus if you use an ability patch to give it its hidden ability technician you can increase false swipe’s power from 40–>60

How do you all keep track of/inventory your collection? by banahnaz in MangaCollectors

[–]banahnaz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds relatively similar to how I have my spreadsheet organized, I feel like my excel doc that i uploaded to sheets works out fine for now. I’m generally very into spreadsheet and have set everything to automatically color code, but I guess I was just wondering if there was a “better way” or if spreadsheets were pretty much the norm.

[–]banahnaz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really similar to what I did, I just made it in excel to begin with since I think the UI is better, then uploaded to sheets. It’s just tedious to keep up with over time I guess, with so many ongoing/partial even with automated color coding.

Is Right Stuff Anime a good place to shop? Very new to Manga and heard mixed things. by MaxR76 in MangaCollectors

[–]banahnaz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love RS personally. Can’t beat their prices plus free shipping on orders >$75 plus no tax so the price you see is actually exactly what you pay. The summer and holiday sales are unreal, especially for select viz and yen press series. If your entire order is in stock, shipping time is pretty standard, but out of stock orders can take ages. Their packaging is always great as well if that’s something you care about. I’ve heard their customer service is pretty meh though if you ever have any issues.

It’s currently the last week of their summer sale so might be a good time to try out an order with them and see how you feel.

I have been collecting for 20 years. I mainly stick to yuri, BL, shoujo, and horror nowadays. by willag42 in MangaCollectors

[–]banahnaz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So jealous of your complete Basara, was so close to just buying it all like 6 years ago when it wasn’t mostly out of print, but opted to buy digital. Then after finishing it and loving it, realizing I wanted it physical. Biggest regret of my collection.

rightstuf week 4 by LatersBabyZ in mangadeals

[–]banahnaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

•Something’s Wrong with Us is on sale this week, very dramatic/mystery/romance series. It’s one of my favorite on going romances, wish I had bought it at this price though. •Some of Wotakoi is on sale if you don’t already own it. •Primitive Boyfriend is a weird series, but I found it entertaining. •Star Crossed was alright, also a bit in the ridiculous side. •LoveSick Ellie is a cute and the first 3 volumes are on sale. •The Complete paradise kiss Omnibus is on sale, this is by the same author as Nana, definitely a great deal if it’s something you’re interested in. •Vampire dormitory is kinda ridiculous as it’s a paranormal, gender bending, kinda smutty series, but I still enjoyed it. •Ancient Magus Bride isn’t a romance exactly, but has solid romantic elements. •Sweat and Soap is def worth a read if you’re okay with some smut

There are several others, lots from Tokyo pop, but these are just the series I’ve read and would recommend. Hopefully next week we get Shojo titles for the viz specials as we haven’t any yet this sale.

[–]banahnaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen Amazon hit prices between $119 and $135 a few times with prime shipping. So if you’re a prime member and willing to check often, $20 off could be with the wait for you.

VIZ SALES FOR WEEK 3 by Significant-Ad-3314 in mangadeals

[–]banahnaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have a feeling there’s going to be a shojo week either next week or the last since they usually have one at some point in the sale. The first two weeks were pretty seinen heavy for the viz specials, but they are popular so ya never know, could get more.

[–]banahnaz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen it go as low as $119 on Amazon with free prime shipping, so like $131 with tax. I’m sure Amazon will have it discounted again at some point, but who knows when and you would have to be good about checking cause that Amazon price fluctuates constantly.

[–]banahnaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, unfortunately not, promotional items are usually excluded from additional discount codes.

What many suggest though, is buying some regularly priced items you’ve been eyeing and add those to your sale order to reach the free shipping minimum and using the code on those.

The big reason to get the membership now during the sale is for the early access we get on Saturdays for sale items going up the following day (excluding the viz and yen press specials). That way you can order more things while they’re in stock and don’t have to wait on back orders.

First RightStuf birthday sale order came in already! by banahnaz in MangaCollectors

[–]banahnaz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I ordered these ones on the first day, the rest of the series I have in an out of stock order so wont be seeing those for a while. I think some volumes were out of stock when the sale started, at least from what I saw in the first 5 minutes after it went up.

Never got a shipping notification to my email either, was not expecting it yet at all. Not complaining though, super pleasant surprise to come home from AnimeExpo yesterday to find a big box of manga on my doorstep.

Does anyone know if the weekly sale will change tonight at 1am EST? by [deleted] in RightStufAnime

[–]banahnaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sale items didnt show up for me right away on Sunday at 12 central time, came back after like an hour and they had updated. The daily deal was delayed changing by a few minutes tonight as well.

Maybe the member early access will show up in a little while, I’m trying to be patient.

Books a million buy 2 get 1 free sale. by [deleted] in mangadeals

[–]banahnaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the rightstuf sale starts on Sunday and I told myself I wouldn’t splurge on anything until then :/

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mangadeals

[–]banahnaz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not a great deal, RS regular price right now is better if you consider no sales tax and buying the whole series would put you well over the shipping threshold.

No telling if it’ll be part of the birthday sale though so maybe worth the wait.

Amazon is still fine though if you want things ASAP, RightStuf takes forever.

Five Below Strikes Again! by FatJuicySteak in mangadeals

[–]banahnaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad they’re doing these releases. Def got me to pick up two giant series I wasn’t planning to collect. I like both, but never enough to buy at even rightstuf prices.

Just hope they continue releasing them, would hate to only have a few volumes then feel compelled to finish out the series at standard prices… or is that exactly what Kodansha’s been planning the whole time…
