[US] AnoHana

[Nico87]

Anohana is waiting for me at the post office together with kimi vols. 2 and 3.

How damaged was it, Dam? Discs or box?

I don't think the damage was common place, mine made it to Australia undamaged.

It's not common at all. It was so weird. I said damaged but I should have said that for some weird reasons, DVD/BD disc 2 was missing with his case. They opened my box at the customs, it looks like they stole disc 2... Never saw that in the past, never. So you should not worry.

That's weird, mine was perfect (as expected). Hope you manage to sort out the issue.

On a side note, I kept my Madoka LE's sealed untill vol. 3 arrived. Opened the first volume and there's a "factory made" dent on the BD disc which results in players not being able to read the disc. And.. obviously it's gone past the 90 day return thing that Right Stuf offers. Shitty $40 extra used to buy vol. 1 BD regular edition

The folks over at NIS let us know that the recently released Ghastly Prince Enma Burning Up Complete Collection DVD/BD Combo Set (Premium Edition) and the Bunny Drop Complete Collection DVD/BD Combo Set (Premium Edition) are both now sold out at wholesale and that no more will be made, so whatever stock we have left (right now we only have around 40ish of each) on these sets will be it. They also said that the second and final pressing of the AnoHana: The Flower We Saw That Day Complete Collection DVD/BD Combo Set (Premium Edition) that will be arriving around the end of October is also now completely booked to retailers and sold out. We have about 100ish more of those coming out of that final batch, but we will not able to increase our qnty or re-order anymore after that.

More to the point, however, is that they ALSO told us that they are NOT PLANNING to release STANDARD EDITIONS of any of these titles like they have with others in the past, so if you want Enma, Bunny Drop, or Anohana in your collection it looks like the Premium editions will be your only chance.

Get em while you can. Seriously.

I got a reply back from NISA, saying:

Thank you for contacting us and expressing your concern about the standard release for our Anime titles.

It seems that there might have been a misunderstanding at this time. We currently at this time have no plans in action on releasing a Standard edition for the three titles you mentioned in your e-mail, but that does not mean that these will not happen. Normally when we release an Anime in our Store, we always try to do a Premium Edition for each title. After we release this title in the Premium Edition format and after this title has been available for some time we then begin working on a Standard edition for these titles. Unfortunately there has not been enough time has passed since the release of these Premium Editions titles for us to start working on the Standard Edition for these titles.

Once we have any official announcement for any of our anime's Standard editions and begin having these ready for sale, we will be sure to announce them in our Prinny Bomb Newsletter.

ANO HANA Mistakenly Removed From Site, Affected Orders Reinstated
Posted on: Wednesday, October 17, 2012

Earlier today, Ano Hana: The Flower We Saw That Day was temporarily removed from RightStuf.com. The item listing is already back up on the site, and we are expecting another shipment of this title to arrive shortly. Due to our error, some customers may receive a cancellation notice, but don't worry. Our customer care team is currently in the process of contacting all affected customers directly, and we hope to have all orders correctly reinstated as soon as possible. We thank you, in advance, for your patience.

And it's back in-stock @ the NIS America Online Store. The exclusive bonus item ("The Shirt We Saw That Day" T-shirt Organizer) is no longer available though.
