For anime dvds I use RightStuf out of Iowa when they have a sale. Shawne also sells on Amazon, sometimes more reasonably. Sometimes ebay works. Certain Japanese release anime for US distribution and consumption takes way too long to get here so I have had excellent luck getting R0 anime as well as action figures from across the pond (HK, Malayasia via ebay: warning::need to rely on your reading skills unless you're multi-lingual) if I just have to have it NOW. Shipping takes about 10-15 days to get over here. Manga buys are better, more reasonable at Amazon than ebay or Rightstuf depending on title but, whoa! watch out for certain Amazon seller's shipping charges. Prefer Amazon for Godzilla material. I stay away from local stores mainly to skate around paying state sales taxes. I'm being drained dry fiscally enough by the folks at Jeff City and inside the I-695 beltway at DC (aka IRS) plus I hate both BestBuy and WalMart as shopping sources. On large orders paying shipping charges is more reasonable than paying local sales tax. Sometimes Rightstuf will offer economy shipping (free) but this depends on the order.
