Yes, it’s the time again… time to ask yourself “where has the year gone?” as we barrel towards the end of it, sure, but also – more importantly – time to prepare yourselves for the annual extravaganza that is our AllTheAnime.com 12 Days of Christmas Sale!
A lot of you have been asking what we have in store for you, so we’re hear to break it down for you to know what to expect once our sale launches at 5PM on Monday, 1st December, and runs until 5PM on Saturday, 13th December! We hope you’ve written your letter to Santa to let him know what you want…
Read on to see if you’ve been good or bad, and whether Santa has answered your wishes!
As a starting point, let’s talk about our broad aims for this year – in short, one thing that we’ve been hearing a lot is that at this expensive time what you’re really looking for is the best possible deals on the anime you love, and so rather than focusing on bringing you any new titles or scouring for the remaining stock of titles as we have in previous years, our focus this time around is purely and simply around bringing you the best possible prices on practically everything in our catalogue for you. So, if you’ve been waiting all year for a deal on a title you’ve had your eye on, this is your time!
More broadly however, this is how we’ll be breaking down our deals for the Christmas sale period:
Mystery boxes
It wouldn’t be a Christmas sale without our renowned mystery boxes, and these will of course return to be the highlight of Day 1 of the sale, launching at 5PM on the 1st.
This year, we’ll be offering a total of five different mystery boxes to choose from, each of which will feature five Collector’s Edition Blu-ray products.
- Two of the mystery boxes will be TV-series based
- Two of the mystery boxes will be entirely film-based
- One lower-cost mystery box will be filled with last chance “clearance” stock at a lower than usual mystery box price, giving you even more value for money!
Each variant of mystery box will contain the same titles in each unit purchased, and all are strictly limited in stock, so buy early to avoid disappointment!
Flash sales
Another returning and popular strand of this year’s sale will be our flash deals – every day from December 2nd at 5PM, we’ll be running a new, 24-hour limited discount deal on a product or products for one day only, offering you a rare opportunity to own some great anime at prices that would normally be impossible!
So, at 5PM each and every day through to December 11th, stay tuned to our web site and social media channels to see what that day’s hot, limited time deal is!
Buy One Get One Free
Of course, we know this is perhaps the most popular aspect of all of our sales now, so our Buy One Get One Free offers return this Christmas offering you an amazing opportunity to grow your anime collection via our range of Standard Edition Blu-ray titles. We’ll be offering up a wealth of TV and film anime here, to fill your every anime desire!
In addition to this, we will of course be running a Gundam Buy One Get One Free campaign for those of you looking for a mech-filled Christmas, plus we’ll have a special Shonen Buy One Get One Free offer to celebrate a year in which we’ve been spending time in the company of some of your favourite anime heroes and heroines!
There’s something for everything here, so be sure to peruse our catalogue and make the most of these great offers.
Stocking Fillers
If you’re looking to fill someone’s Christmas with anime – or are just looking to improve your own Christmas viewing – you shouldn’t look any further than our range of Stocking Fillers, offering up some frankly bonkers prices on selected products. It’s perfect for a last-minute gift, or just a little treat for yourself.
We’ve also had plenty of feedback about the lack of DVD titles in our sales, so this Christmas we’ll specifically be launching a DVD stocking filler range at the absolute lowest prices possible, so for anyone who hasn’t made the leap to Blu-ray yet or just wants to try out some new titles for pennies, don’t miss what we have to offer here!
Collector’s Edition Deals
Of course, this Christmas you’ll also find lots of deals across the rest of our range of Collector’s Edition products, to spruce up your shelves without any pesky elves! We’ll have plenty of big savings here too, plus some products that are almost out of print, offering a last chance to grab your copy of some sought-after shows.
Early Bird Redux
If you’re all about the new hotness, but missed out on some of this year’s biggest new releases, then fear not, as they’ll almost all be returning to their Early Bird price during the sale period. Whether it’s a pre-order or now available, own this year’s great releases at their original pre-order prices!
Vinyl Deals
Of course, we’ll also be offering some great prices on products across our vinyl music range, including some third-party titles that we stock, so be sure to check out what’s on offer to start or grow your anime music collection!
And that sums it up for this year’s Christmas sale – be sure to come on by our AllTheAnime.com site from 5PM on December 1st, then check back in every day at 5PM to see what’s new! We can’t wait to see you there and serve up some great products for you to enjoy this festive season and beyond!
