Did somebody say sale?

Scott: I just spent $140 on ADV’s Labor Day sale. (^^;)
Token Asian: Good job!
Token Asian: You’re on your way to being a mini-moyism
Scott: Noooooo!
Token Asian: *does the Darth Vader scream*
Token Asian: *doesn’t want to feel left out*
Token Asian: “Noooooooooooooo!”

So I’ve just started working a great-paid internship, so now I’m finally seeing my bank account on the rise again. And therefore… ::mumbles:: Istartedbuyingawholelottaanimeandmangaagain… >_<. But I’m not going too crazy. I only buy things that are good bargains. For example, I’ve been enjoying the DNA^2 box set that I just got for only 25 bucks at Deep Discount DVD. Then I stumbled across ADV’s Labor Day sale, and with many of the things 75% off, I went on a frenzy! What kind of frenzy? Well…

DVD
Colorful
Magical Play Complete Collection
Nurse Witch Komugi 2
Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat 1-4
Plastic Little Collection
Princess Nine Complete Collection
RahXephon The Motion Picture with Limited Edition Box
Sister Princess 1-2 with Box
Super Gals 2-4

Manga

All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku 1
Enmusu 1
Happy Lesson 1
To Heart 2-3

The total after shipping came to $140, which spread out between 20 items is only $7 each. That’s pretty good considering that even one of those tankoubon would cost $10 retail. I’m particularly interested in the Princess Nine collection. I’ve heard so many great things about it but never got a chance to see it.
