Macross Frontier movies. This is the "Shooting Star" boxset that I believe is the only release to include English subtitles. Also includes a hybrid PS3 bonus disc (untranslated) and two large-format artbooks.

This was my first time buying from Mandarake. Granted the item is 2nd hand, but it was insanely cheap for what's included. ¥4000 before shipping, so about £20. I'd expect to pay more than that for one of the artbooks! Of course shipping doubled the cost, but that's the importing life.

They must be very cautious about how they grade the condition of items. This was listed as 7/10, good condition, but aside from some shelf wear to the outer plastic bag the contents look almost untouched.

If you want to keep an eye out for this set on Mandarake, search for Macross F Shudista (or Shudisuta). That tends to be how they romanise the title.
 
A big ol' bag o' noice new socks! :) I really do love these, they fit my sturdy feet and calves and style well with a wide range of outfits 🥰

Ah so it was you who snagged that set from mandarake at that price then, I’d noticed it had sold. I got the smaller box with the hybrid discs for ¥1100 hoping they’d also subbed but no such luck unfortunately. Serves me right.
 
Kingdom Hearts: The Story So Far (PS4) from Hit. I had an itch to revisit Kingdom Hearts and the physical editions are very price friendly for what you are getting in terms of the number of games in this package!

From Arrow, I picked up a double-bill of A Certain Killer/A Killer's Key Blu-ray Limited Edition, which are a pair of Japanese thrillers from the 1960s. The trailers for these films looked very slick and ahead of their time; plus I had £5 credit to use.

And then to round off the Kingdom Hearts story, I picked up Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory (PS4) and Kingdom Hearts III (PS4) from The Game Collection.

It's a minefield trying to figure out which Macross releases are subtitled, since there's no apparent logic to it. CD Japan is generally the best place to check for that information. They tend to mention it in item descriptions.

This recent release was surprisingly hard to get. It's not even available anymore in the US Crunchyroll store.

If I remember correctly, the movies are on opposite discs by mistake so it likely got recalled which is why it was hard to find.

With the premise of these movies, it makes it kind of a funny situation that they were.
 
I received two titles from the Sentai Valentine's Sale yesterday...

Familiar of Zero The Complete Series
Why the Hell are You Here, Teacher!?
