Need a tumbleweed emoji. Sorry, this is not a dispatch update 🙏 The most sobering thought is that AL will probably still have thousands of orders to dispatch come 5th January. Feel bad for anyone - fortunately not me - who needed stuff from the sale for Christmas. At least for Christmas this year.

I'm somewhere between depression and acceptance at this point. The AL Christmas sale usually delivers drama, if not much else.

It is here. I'm confused though as there's no space in the box for part 2 and, seemingly, no CE for part 2 🤔

I've had a dispatch email from AOL for an order that only had Spice and Wolf part 1 CE left. Either that's over a month early or AOL's system has had a meltdown. Former would be nice.

It's probably gonna be several more days before any sale orders are dispatched then. This might be the first time we don't find out what's in the mystery boxes before the sale ends. Can't remember if that happened before. Tbh, if the tradeoff was getting Perfect Blue, Cyberpunk, and Devilman...

Didn't this happen with another release a while back? I think it was Gunbuster. Just when you thought Amazon couldn't be more villainous, they pull this crap again.

And they've arrived! No dispatch email as have the Spice & Wolf CE left in the order, so something of a surprise. Both are things of absolute beauty. Cyberpunk's steelbook finish is gold rather than yellow and looks classy af. And I love the wrap-around box art for Perfect Blue. The set's a...

🤯 I knew if I made a post saying there's no chance they'd get that out before Christmas, that's exactly what they'd do. No need to thank me. Just waiting for AOL send PB along with Cyberpunk. Noticed PB is "sold out" on AL's store, presumably not forever.

To Macross Plus or not to Macross Plus, that is the question. Stupid oversized square ughhhh. Still no movie SE. I thought that was being sold at MCM in October. At the moment, Devilman is the only cert.

Cyberpunk Edgerunners SE and Steelbook pushed back to 8th December according to AOL and Amazon 🥲 Both of those editions along with the CE still down as 24th November on AL's store.

😈 I mean, surely they have to release SOMETHING between now and the end of the year, and my relentlessly optimistic take is that the ones I want the most are getting priority. You have my blessing to burn me at the stake if/when the delays hit 🔥

Wanting money for new preorders while delaying most of the existing ones is... something. I might regret typing this, but at this point Cyberpunk and Perfect Blue, the preorders I care most about, still have their original release dates.

Yep, here we go. I gave up preordering from their store a couple of years ago because of this. I gave them the benefit of the doubt on this occasion seeing as they were only having my money a month or so early (some people don't care about this, and that's great for them, but I do) and then the...

I was hoping for an EB discount on the Edgerunners Steelbook. The storyboard book is a price-inflating waste of space for me. Maybe just the SE then..

That's more like it from AL. Interesting stuff I haven't already imported months or a year or more ago (apart from Dangers in my Heart). Perfect Blue is the pick of the bunch. A fantastic looking set and finally a decent visual presentation for a truly great film. Same release date as Devilman...
