If the Eva boxset is the Perfect Collection it is indeed a bargain, although the one in the auction was pretty good considering it is the newly released Platinum Edition, with better audio and video and more extras. Still, if you see the prices at Suncoast of The Right Stuf.com, you'll fall from your chair (I almost did). I wish I had a Best Buy around but guess there's has to be a downside for living in an almost all year round summer island.

Reika a reincarnation of Ixtli and also an intrumentalist? Now that's quite a change! I noticed that there's also Rah novels but I'm not sure if they're a novel version of the anime of if they follow the manga. Guess I'll have to do some research on that to find out.
