Hey man, complete set $32 brand new including shipping!

-OR-
Go here & get volumes 1, 2, 3, 5, & 6 from Gohastings ($15 total) to save on shipping, then get 4 from Second spin...

as%3Ddvd&field-keywords=planetes&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go
That would be like, after shipping, a total of roughly $25, the same that I spent for the set I ordered from under your nose...

Do you have any already? Does this help?

Yeah actually, I got volume 2 when I dredged a bunch of sample stuff from Rightstuf's bargain bin, and GoHastings is kinda my go-to source despite the bad habit of listing every used product as "Very Good" when many of em ain't.

I was gonna wait on it, but now I might not.

I got a lotta stuff on the list though, Hell Girl Season 2, and come April - Code Geass R2 Vol 4 and Lucky Star: Anime Legends Collection.

Bagging up the latter cause having liked Azumanga Daioh and Pani Poni Dash, might as well complete the trifecta - the tipping point on that for me was Konata's hi-larious karoake, what she lacks in skill she makes up in enthusiam, and I defy you to listen to her butcher the DragonballZ theme without giggling...

How you likin Last Exile, neh ?

Also, The one thing that really tweaked me into picking up Princess-Punie was that I got to see Royce Gracie in action back when the UFC was something more of a bloodsport, and having seen just how horrifying and brutal those moves really ARE...

I used to joke that if Royce wanted to shake hands, I wouldn't stop running till I crossed a state line, like hell imma let someone with THAT set of skills get a hold of ME, oh heck no!

Money was a little tight on my B'day, so, didn't get it.

But I'll sell some DVD's & get it on my own. I have about 250, so occasionally culling out 10 here & there to finance a new DVD set ain't so terribly painful. It's how I got all the seasons of Trek TOS remastered.

The local store here give you $3 per DVD, $5-6 if it's a really good title.
And I'm always getting DVD's for Christmas from my Brother-in-law, who has no clue what I like or already own, heh heh.

PLUS, our local, privately owned video store rents 2 movies for $2.5o for a whole week, so now I'm off to watch Planet Terror which I haven't seen yet.
Aloha.

Actually with shipping that came out to near $35 USD, versus $32 for the full collection entire from a retailer I've not dealt with before, so imma hold out a bit, since I am pretty sure I can find it somewhere for around $30 USD +/- shipping new in box.

Thing with GoHastings is, as I said, that habit of "Very Good" which multiplied by several products, means one of em is almost certain to be beat up real bad or unplayable, and any Amazon order is a nightmare trying to deal with that kinda thing.

Saving a buck for days of hassle and eight bucks worth of shipping back and forth ain't worth it.

Thanks for the heads up though, I've passed it on to a couple less cautious folk who were also interested in the series enough to take that risk, lol.

I GOT it! Wow, that was record time, eh? In the mail just now!! 2;15 EST- Less than 3 Earth cycles! WTF!

My Son and I will be "bolted" to it, I conjure.

Reviews will follow in the coming days.

Now, your turn to get it, eh?

First two eps were SO entertaining!
My Son took exception to the porno mag comment in #1, though.

Just finished ep # 10. Wow.
Getting kinda sad that there's only 16 of 'em left to go...

The ONLY bad thing I can say about this series so far is that the closing song on each episode is kind of pop-junk.

It's worth every penny & more.

Frem's right, when anime's good, it's like crack. I'm trying SO hard not to just watch all of it in one fell swoop...

Make sure you get the right Stand-Alone Complex; there are a whole bunch of SAC DVDs out there to trip over.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex (a.k.a. Season 1)

Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex: 2nd Gig (a.k.a. Season 2)

Ghost in the Shell Stand-Alone Complex: Solid State Society (a.k.a. Season 3/The Movie)

Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex: The Laughing Man (Season 1 recut into a much shorter movie/miniseries)

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: The Individual Eleven (Season 2 recut into a much shorter movie/miniseries)

There's also Stand-Alone Complex: Official Log 1 (and possibly "Log 2" as well), but those are rarer than latinum; you likely won't tumble across them by chance. They're behind-the-scenes book/DVD cases full of interviews, design sketches, and ruminations on philosophy/science.

There's also the two GitS movies (GitS and GitS: Innocence), which are non-continuity with the TV series.
