A couple of notes.

* The updated anime tape catalogue will be available the week before the
show, and will be posted to the web site. I will post here again when it is
ready. This time, we will also have a catalogue for domestic anime LDs and
DVDs. While you could have asked for them before, now you will know what they
cost before you order, and whether we can get them or now.

At this moment, all CPM, Viz and Pioneer LDs/DVDs are in the catalogue. We
are trying to get AnimEigo included. As for AD Vision, they're off in their
little dream world, thinking they can sell LDs without actually making any - so
the chances of Eva, etc. LDs being in the catalogue are slim.

* We can not obtain domestic CDs at a reasonable price, and in a reasonable
time frame. Our CD supplier has played games with us by not actually passing
on our order to the distributor, time and time again. For the present moment,
we will no longer offer domestic CDs in the group order. Anybody with domestic
CDs outstanding should apply for a refund. If you are out of town, please
email me (jos...@ece.uwaterloo.ca) and I will have a refund cheque mailed to
you.

* Import CDs will still be available. Import LDs, DVDs and tapes will not
be in the group order catalogue, but can be special ordered.

* We will not be offering anime calendars, T-shirts, pillow cases,
notebooks, inflatable Yui dolls or the ilk on the group order.

* The following import CDs have now been officially declared Impossible to
Find(tm) - in other words, out of print.

* Gundam 0083 soundtrack box
* Mermaid's Scar OST
* Nurse Angel Ririka SOS: Heart Aid #1
* Orguss O2 OST
* Ys 4 Perfect Collection #2
* Zenki OST
