Let me preface this by saying all my orders have been cancelled or dispatched; I no longer have a 🐎 in this race. I think some of the discontent over these delays could be ameliorated with a bit of contrition. But the posts from Hanners on this page are indicative of AL's overall handling of...

It's pretty crap if they have made the extras exclusive to the DE when the GKids steelbook has them. It looks like the extras are the same ones that are on the Hosoda Collection disc. I was keeping that anyway because of the excellent booklet, but would leave a bad taste.

Wolf Children steelbook looks the same as the US one from GKids. I was eyeing that up but it's Amazon exclusive, and I know better than to import a steelbook from Amazon. So yay for a UK release. GKids also did 4k steelbooks for TGWLTT and Summer Wars. Hopefully they follow. Best thing is the...

I've cancelled most of the items I ordered - the wait has made me realise how little I need or really want some of that stuff - but still have a couple of unsent items from my first order on the 3rd. One day~

Seems they've come charging out of the blocks with the order dispatching then. I sent an email to cancel an item and the automated response email still states that they're closed for the festive period. Hopeless.

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.
