My latest arrival:
What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!
- Thread starter bakum4tsu
- Start date
2023 HAUL VER 11.5
(note: images are hosted via AUKN for the meantime)
Another batch this time only on two days of the week.
The latest 88 Films releases arrived last Thursday, and they were part of the November line-up. I ordered these at the last second due to delays that had affected one of them but as soon as I saw the distributor posting photos of the stock I finally got them ordered. Here we have Wong Jing's Last Hero in China (黃飛鴻之鐵雞鬥蜈蚣) and Johnny Mak & Michael Mak's The Long Arm of the Law Saga I & II (省港旗兵 & 省港旗兵續集), the latter of which is part of their deluxe collector's edition range which includes a booklet and poster. They have been using the thin Blu-ray cases for their recent releases and it's good to see booklets still fit in these.
88 Films have said they will look into The Long Arm of the Law Saga III & IV if the sales are good for the first two films which is neat to see.
If you have been following my hauls since around August time, I had been picking up a whole bunch of Limited Run Games because Canadian retailer VideoGamesPlus started a partnership with them which includes stocking their titles. And since then they were able to receive stock for a whole bunch of OOP titles and I got almost all of the Nintendo Switch LRG titles I was interested in that were available (with House of Fata Morgana and Turok 1 & 2 being the only ones).
In this batch we have two more from their catalogue and they have been available since a while back but when I took a look at their store I did notice that one of them was going to sell out so I decided to take action and get them sooner than later. So here we have Demon's Tilt, which is not one of their numbered titles, and River City Girls Zero, which is a numbered title and the one that I was worried about missing out on.
Also arriving today is My Dress-Up Darling Season 1 from Crunchyroll. For some reason they decided not to bring the limited edition over to the UK and since this is one of the most popular series in recent years I decided to get this ordered sooner than later.
However, I didn't pre-order this release from Rightstuf as I wasn't sure what else to include with it due to the partial shipping that they do, so recently like last week I decided to go for the riskly approach which is using Amazon UK and their Global shipping service that makes use of Amazon US. It was pretty much full price (though it has VAT included and shipping is free) but it arrived today in a blue bubble-mailer and miraculously no damage other than some marks on the inside pages of the booklet. You can view more photos & specs on my blog.

I received one MVM Blu-ray steelbook from AOL today in the mail, so now I have 3 copies of this movie to add to my collection - the Steelbook will go in my anime steelbook collection, the GKids standard edition will pair up with the three Funimation releases on the shelf, and the GKids 4K set is just to have for the 4K - this will somewhat match the Anime Limited Eva 1.11 Collector's Edition set I have, as well. There is a hole in the shrink wrap at the top center of the steelbook, so it is not damaged, but arrived in perfect condition.

MVM Steelbook along with the GKids 4K and Standard releases

My main haul from Black Friday, and I don't think it was even a super awesome deal, I just wanted/needed it, and it was the best price I could get it for.
Dualsense Edge, normally £209 RRP everywhere as far as I can see it.
Using Ebay 20% off code I got one from Game Collection outlet for £176
I had an AMEX £5 off £15 spend deal on my card, so that took it down to £171
Hopefully I can get TCB 20% cashback to work, not tracked properly yet, but it would take it down by around another £30 (this doesn't apply to VAT). I may need to put in a claim for this but they should honour it.
My word, that is an epic set indeed!

Hooray! After a very loooong wait of 353 days - just 12 days short of a full year from the day I ordered them, and 2 days shy of the start of this year's 12 Days of Christmas sale - I finally received my last 3 pre-order items from the 2022 AlltheAnime Christmas sale!
Nadia Secret of Blue Water Ultimate Edition with A4 Art Book
Tower of God Ultimate Edition in A4 Packaging
Ascendance of a Bookworm Seasons 1 & 2 Collector's Edition
The shipping box arrived a good bit damaged:
But fortunately, everything inside was completely undamaged. Each item had been wrapped separately in bubblewrap and padded with about 10 air pillows inside the Fedex box:

I'm trying to add a title to Rocket Girls for a 25% off allyourmusic purchase but struggling to make up my mind.

And the rest of the black firday purchases. Gungrave and Forza 3 were just regular deal's but decent ones. There's one game still missing though because it was suppose to arrive with Harvest Moon, but that package got ripped and the game was missing. It's surprising that Harvest Moon didn't get any damage because the package had been retaped and didn't look too good. What was bit disturbing was that it also had blood on it. Don't know whether the game got (Trinity Trigger) stolen or whether several packages got damaged on a depo and thing's got mixed up. Most likely it got stolen though.

Blimey, sounds like that package went thru the wars! I have so many questions about it that I know you don't have answers to either XP
