I am going to buy Toradora. I hope it gets a dub one day.

I am going to buy Toradora! as well. But no need to pre-order it right away. Doesn't come out for 4 months.
I'm also curious to how the packaging is going to be.

well, ZenErik, you can bet that they will guage interest based on preorders, so I went ahead and put one in for T!. Especially for this company just getting it to the anime side of the business... we have to show them the interest, ideally.

I will be pre-ordering, but I'd rather wait until a few weeks before the release when RightStuf will likely mark it down to about 35 dollars.

Given all the unknowns about NIS America's anime releases, I'd just as soon get my order in as soon as possible rather than risk being at the end of the queue if demand ends up outweighing supply (but I'm a worrier).
BTW, Bob's Anime Corner Store is listing the first set at $40. How does that work for you?

I have never purchased from that site, but I've heard good things. Does that include shipping?

I measured which would be the best option, as I'm buying both Toradora and Persona TS and here's what is came down to:
$96 (w/ free shipping since I spent over $50) - RightStuf
$90 (w/ shipping (no free shipping unless you spend $99), or if you want absolute cheapest shipping, $87) - RACS
Of course since you are just getting Toradora, you can pick either one but you'll be paying more-or-less the same. I went with the company I've trusted for many years now, worth the extra cost and peace of mind, that being TRSI.

I have a Got Anime membership. So it'd be Almost 10 dollars off the RightStuf order. You might want to think about getting one. Plus there may be a $5 dollar off Got Anime coupon or something similar when you pre-order.
EDIT: There is currently a $4 off a purchase of $67 or more.

I preordered both last night and with my Got Anime membership and the $4.00 off coupon, each set came out to $41.39.

Such a shame Toradora doesn't have an English audio track. One of the very, very few masterpieces of the 2000 decade. Quite the magnificent masterpiece and I enjoyed every episode and ova.
But I've been purchasing NIS games for several years now, so its not like I don't understand the situation NIS is in. Have to shell out money to make money and that isn't always possible or even logical.
Maybe sometime in the future Toradora will receive the much needed English audio track. I would have purchased Toradora on the spot if there actually was an English audio though.

One more disappointment that I failed to mention. The fact that it is 13 episodes on 2 discs. Personally, I would much prefer that be spread across 3 or 4 discs for a potentially better transfer.
But I guess 7 episodes on one disc may be doable because of the lack of 2 audio tracks. The English track on a lot of anime releases these days seems to be 5.1 too. Which takes up that much more space.
