Alrighty, as some of you may know, today is my birthday. For my birthday, I am entitled to selecting a present that I'd like from my parents, I'm dying to get a new box set, but I have no idea what to pick.
I need suggestions, lots of them if possible, preferably relating to my tastes in anime.
I'm a big fan of Hellsing, Bebop, Champloo, FMA and the like, so basically I'm a big action anime nut.
So can you guys please help me out and give me some suggestions ^_^?
Thanks in advance!

I don't know how you feel about mecha, but it certainly is an action title:

A real nice series.
Also...

Another great action title, AND it includes the movie^^

Ah yes, Escaflowne...
I remember seeing it on TV a few times, then they took it off the air after like 6 episodes. ^_^; For the longest time I thought that was the entire series.

Though I've never seen it, I've heard Last Exile is good.

Escaflowne is absolutely classic, a great action/mecha anime. I like RaXephon, but it wasn't until the second viewing of the series that I liked it. It's....interesting. If you havn't seen it, I wouldn't buy all of it at once, because its one of those things that some people like and some don't.
Another action anime that's quite good is Noir, its interesting and very well done, one of my favorites. That might be another good one to look into.

I highly recommend you get Fruits Basket, it is a great series, very funny and heart felt. If you like total randomness that is strange, yet hilarious, I would suggest Azumanga-Diaoh. And if you like an awesome serious one, try .hack//sign.

I'd second Noir. You can get that box for 60 bucks at Best Buy.

I saw that Walmart has the complete Evangelion platinum boxset for under $50. I haven't seen the whole series yet though.
*runs away from that topic before getting banned*
Noir and Last Exile are great choices, as people have said before me. Then there's Outlaw Star, if you don't mind a few content issues. Of course there's Cowboy Bebop and Trigun, but those are a bit more expensive.

I don't know of a lot of box sets, but there's the season 1 box set of Rurouni Kenshin, and I saw the Pretear Thin pack for about $40.
