<--- Oh so cute! Do you know what she is? It's a little inter-office joke we have about one of our, um, so called competitors. If any of you guys can guess what it is, AND what our little joke about it might be, I'll give you $100 gift certificate. :-)(No Steven, you're not eligible since you already know...)
We really appreciate all the new orders everyone have been placing over the past few days. We figured things would be pretty slow during the first few days of the Olympics, but order volume has been pretty robust and is keeping us on our toes!
Because new product shipments from all our studio partners have been so unpredictable recently, we've been keeping on top of upcoming releases requesting daily status reports so we know what's coming and when it will get here.
Funimations Aug 19th Releases
Today Funimation confirmed that Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE, Vol #7, the Dangerous Pursuit DVD has shipped to us and should be in stock here around Thursday.
At the same time Funi said that as of today (around 1pm anyway) they do not yet have stock from the replicator on Black Lagoon Second Barrage, Vol #1 DVD or any of the Black Lagoon re-releases. This means that 2nd Barrage will be shipping to retailers at the very last minute for next weeks street date. Certainly we would have liked to have had them already, and of course, it's bad policy for me to share my concerns publicly that a particular title might arrive close to the street date, or even, God forbid, late - so please ignore what I just said. All is well, it will be here right on time, and there is nothing to worry about. See, I sound just like a mouth piece for ADV Films marketing dept... 'all is well, nothing to see here'... I've got it down pat... :-)
Seriously though, we have asked Funi to expedite our copies to us, so if they get them into the Navarre warehouse by tomorrow we'll have them on Friday. We have a massive amount of pre-orders for 2nd Barrage, so we're going to start pre-processing your pre-orders for it on Thursday so they are ready to ship the minute the DVD's arrive.
UPDATE: 2nd Barrage is IN STOCK as of 11:30am Wednesday, Aug 13th.
Bandai Stuff Shipped Out
We have now shipped all your pre-orders for Code Geass, Gurren Lagann, Vol #2, and Zegapain, Vol #6 out of that 2nd batch we received from Bandai Monday morning. I REALLY hope that these DVD's are all good or at the very least 'less defective' than the ones from the original shipment we sent back. We've included letters in all the shipments with instructions for what to do if you do run into any problems, and I want to thank everyone again for their patience.

Sad to say but having problems with the second shipping of Code Geass disks 1 and 2. Had to alternate between two DVD drives and skip ahead just to see all the episodes.
Arguably the worst non-bootleg pressing I've seen. I doubt if it's related to copy protection since the trouble spots varied by drive but not playing software.
You'd think Bandai would take more care w/ QC for one of the most anticipated releases this year!
