Only thing I am kind of interested in grabbing from the sale so far is Dan Da Dan. I will keep my eyes open for a must have flash sale for the time being.

Got my Perfect Blue today... and also got a dispatch notice for Cyberpunk Edgerunners. There's also a Diebuster in the order queue too. That's before I even contemplate the X Mas sale orders I've placed.

How many people have received their copy of devilman crybaby? Mine was dispatched Thursday, and royal mail appear to have received it Saturday. But it hasn't moved since, expected delivery was today.
My Cyberpunk Edgerunners is with Call of the Night which I know had some early stock shipped out last month, curious if mine ships this week or not.

Great. I've been wary based on timing with this time of year so it is nice to know.

For those in the know; what’s the difference between to Perfect Blue Ultimate Edition and the new 4K version? You know, apart from the 4K.

There both sold out on the site but can still check out the content:
Perfect Blue Ultimate Edition
Experience a directorial masterclass from the legendary Satoshi Kon and view the inspirational, thought-provoking and chilling Perfect Blue as you’ve never seen it before. Featuring a brand new remaster of the film along with the entire storyboard book of the film itself!

Perfect Blue 4K UHD + Blu-ray Deluxe Edition
“Who are…you?” Mima Kirigoe, a former pop idol, makes a bold transition into acting, taking on a role in a drama that includes a disturbing assault scene, and even releasing a provocative nude photo book. Her dramatic reinvention grabs public attention, but also provokes unease among her fans...

But looks like Ultimate is 2 books of 48 pages and 348, Bluray and CD (possible one of the Books is A4 as alot of other ultimates have a seprate A4 book from what ive seen (guessing the 348 page is A4))
Vs 4k with 132 page book, Blu-ray+4k (not sure on what the 3rd disc is) + art card + quad poster

Cyberpunk CE dispatched on my end too, I'm happy to report. 5pm on release day not ideal but eh, received Devilman early and PB was also sent asap (received before Devilman iirc). Balances out. Maybelline~
I had mine sent the 4th, arrived on the 6th. So, the same as you, just without Royal Mail withholding. We are near Christmas and some parts of the country likely overwhelmed already. Post seems normal at the min where I at in West Mids tho: Warsaw.
I'm the only person to post a picture of it in the photo thread, so it either a poor seller or are others yet to receive. Probably a bit of both, but more so a poor seller given was in early bird redux, unlike Cyber/PB.
The main difference is, the UE went out of print and goes for silly amounts on eBay. That and, as Squiggly mentions, it comes with A4 sized book(s?)... which the UE box matches/is too big like a lot of AL's earlier UEs. The 4k ver is able to fit on shelves, thank the anime Gods. It also looks sexier.

Can confirm that the Blu-ray version of Perfect Blue in the 4k release is the same disc as last time, not as I hoped a new transfer cut from the 4k master.

To clear things up; the UE is entirely A4 sized (or slightly larger, all sliding into a stiff card outer box) - both the massively thick and heavy hardback storyboard book and the “companion” book are A4. There’s no disc case to sit alongside a smaller book (instead using the ‘usual’ foam hub in cutouts in the hard cover), nor are there any of the art cards from the other releases (but I guess the images are in the book and on the cover anyway).There both sold out on the site but can still check out the contence:

I am wondering myself if there’s any point in adding the new 4K to my growing collection of this title. But can’t see there being anything new in the physical materials that’s not already in the big book (so not much to recommend getting the CE). While although 4K, it’s not a different cut of the film (and there’s the non-remastered “original” included on the existing Blu-ray (I can’t honestly say I expect substantial benefit in adding a simple 4K disc either).

Thanks, I'm in sunny Bilston. Always worries me more when the post office lose something or it seems to get stuck there as I half expect to see it arrive damaged.
Still hasn't moved over night. Marked as item received twice Saturday and one Sunday. Then nothing since. Fingers crossed something happens today.
Cyberpunk hasn't been dispatched for me yet.

That's disappointing. The old master has a lot of distracting telecine wobble.

So, my shipment of 8 CE titles from the Christmas Sale is arriving at my house over here in the US tomorrow, via Fedex - this is the order they told me I would have to cancel and reorder to be able to add another title to the order, but then shipped it out right away so I had no time to do the re-order. All I can do now is wait for the Chaika Part 1 CE to go on sale sometime in the future to possibly buy it, otherwise I'll just have to bin my copy of Part 2. Hopefully it doesn't sell out if it is in one of the Mystery Boxes in the Holiday sale.

No fault of AL but great to see Royal Mail continuing to offer a service they can’t actually deliver upon due to cutting staff. My Arcane is due for delivery today on Tracked 48 but is naturally 200 miles away.

Sounds like my copy of Devilman Crybaby. Been sitting in the Jubilee MC since Saturday, due for delivery yesterday. But no update since Sunday.

Same deal here. Royal Mail insists it'll be delivered by 5pm today. Then I check the delivery updates and it's still at Jubilee MC on the other side of the country from me. I can give them a little leeway this time of year on extended delivery times, but they should really account that into tracking estimates too.
