My favorite local retailer didn't have it in stock, but remembering the advice of MajinVegetaXV, I printed off their online price, brought it to Best Buy, and had it priced matched. Instead of $44.99, I payed $27.99. That's quite a discount, if I do say so myself.

The woman at my Best Buy said they didn't do that unless it was a price from their own site.
My Best Buy said they only price match ads and websites from stores in a 50-mile radius. The GoHastings print outs got shut down, good thing Target had a good price on their site!!
Yeah, I guess if you don't have a Hastings in your area your SOL on that deal. But try Target or Walmart. Any large retailers' website is guaranteed to give you a better deal than Best Buy. They consistently charge at least $10 more for every DVD set I've seen in the store.

And as for your girl denying you your sale... Try a different cashier. The trick is to find the most apathetic looking one. I work at a large retailer as a cashier and I don't give a fuck. I'd do the price match because it's easy and doesn't hurt me at all.

Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

Why is there extra yellow on the right side of vegeta, and why is there a yellowish tint underneath the logo?

I think that is just how it was packaged. The image of Vegeta just looks like it was plastered on with a yellow background, and some of it spilled out. :|

I believe that is part of his armor. The shoulder strap, to be more precise.

I mean, you're pretty open about looking at cartoon porn. Why would you do that? It's fiction. The proportions of these women are not possible to reach in reality.

I got the digital remaste tin case of Movie 5 and 6 today at Suncoast for $10 on sale. I was going to buy the Movie 12 and 13 tin case also since it was also on sale, but I did not had the money for both.

Oh my god. I. You. MMMM. I want that.

And for the sake of the subject: Dragon Box Z, Vol. 2 and before that, "Super Saiyan Power Boost" energy drink from MAGfest8. Haven't tried it yet, I just enjoy looking at it. Energy drinks aren't my thing. I'm more of a Dr. Pepper guy. :roll:

I don't think they meant the strap, I think they meant the actual yellow outer glow beneath the 'DragonBox' logo. It's...pretty odd. I was hoping it was just a goof on the promotional release of the cover art.

Oh well.

See it now? It's like they did it to make the text below the logo more noticeable, but it doesn't really help (and looks very awkward). Vegeta's armor abruptly goes from white to a pale gold, and his blue jumpsuit turns to a sickly shade that isn't quite blue but not yet green. I dunno why they didn't just make the text a different color. :P

8) I see what you mean, now. Eyes of eagles you all have. That's a pretty strange mark though, and it only appears in that small area. You would think that if they were attempting to make it more visible to readers, that it would appear more promenent in opacity. Instead, it's just...kinda there. Like the leftover marking of a stamp or something. :?:

Just received these:

Not terribly exciting, I only bought them because they were cheap. I'm also relieved to have them after they were stuck at customs for 2 months.
