To be fair, the tank action is the standout element of the show. It's also probably the main reason why it was so popular on 2chan as well. Without it, Girls und Panzer wouldn't be noteworthy compared to a number of other similar shows.

For anyone interested, here are the ANN numbers:

This would be for Girls und Panzer Vol. 1's second release, and it indicates yet more supply shortages. The third release was available for order 3 days ago, and it's already sold out on Amazon. I can't recall any other show suffering from a shortage quite like this.
The original print run was about 14,000 units. It would be safe to assume that Actas' realistic expectations were 1/3 of the print run, 2/3 would have been very optimistic. Nobody expects to sell out, and Girls und Panzer is well beyond that already. The main question is going to be whether subsequent volumes will be large enough to satisfy demand.

Girls und Panzer is already the best selling show from Fall 2012. The early episodes were the weakest ones, so the later ones will probably also sell very well.
