According to my email receipts, that’s the same price as the DOTW about a year ago. It’s decent enough, but there’s only three episodes here, as it’s apparently some prequel to a different series. Which means everything’s just left hanging and unresolved at the end

It’s not inconceivable that they do fix and supply the advertised product in the CE, and perhaps just use the “faulty” discs for the standard edition? Other than the fact that they make so many of these mistakes, I don’t see why they couldn’t correct something that’s being sold at a fairly high...

I would just have assumed that the cost of a dvd edition is literally peanuts now, so even selling cheaply and in low numbers is just profit. After all, the encoding is to a legacy and mature format, and is already digitised for the (U)HD versions, the programming (menu and structure) is far...

It’s not, actually. If you still want something (and know the title to search for), products are still at the sale prices… Update; looks like the bogof switch is turned off now. And anyway; it’s doubly not over, as now the 2-month wait for shipment begins, because one of the clearance items...

Buying individually so far has worked out as £45+£25x4 = £145 (before any 10% or 15% discounts) But I’d venture a guess that these bundles won’t come with the “extra” cards either?

It seems that Nadia is about £20 more than a couple of years ago (I still haven’t watched it!), Future Boy Conan is just a penny more than last year (so I guess that’s acceptable), and Kill La Kill standards are something around a tenner more than I paid for the three CEs plus box. The prices...

The page to join / renew (un)limited doesn’t seem to be working (no “form” displayed). So I guess if it doesn’t get fixed shortly, I’ll be saving a bit of money (at least until Xmas!) - it’s deciding for me.

Now I just have to decide if I should renew my (un)limited sub, as I’ve let it expire… I always seem to buy a fair amount, and it only takes about £360 of the extra 5% to recoup the £17.99 (albeit it needs to be a single order). But I’m finding making the postage minimum with “flash sale” items...

Part 2 is still in their clearance section at £7.99 Combining two parts into a single set is usually just a rebox of the same discs. So although more compact is kinda nice for a non-ce, I don’t think I’m missing out.

@MVM can I ask you rethink your use of A4 bubble mailers for packing multiple “standard” cases? I’ve now had at least five shipments in a row where at least one case has suffered damage or cracks, and I’m simply going to run out of replacements if this keeps up. I think it wasn’t previously...

That was one of the thoughts I had too, but I’m not inclined to make a pilgrimage to Coventry to find out. I’m no CEX expert, but I think that policy has been in place for years if not decades. And seeing as their terms state “we do not buy unboxed Optical Media (DVDs, Games, Blu-rays, CDs...

The three seasons of “Is The Order A Rabbit” are listed as DOTW now, which I’m quite happy about. I’m not going to pretend these are epic works of great importance, but I’ve been locked into a battle of wits with CEX after finding I missed S2 last time round: Place order, gets cancelled...

The Dungeon S4 part 2 (standard) doesn’t appear to be on the anime-on-line website? But part 1 is. I assume(d) that being a “standard” would get reprinted as needed, and would indirectly benefit from the “halo effect” of the CE release - perhaps there’s a nefarious plan to release a combined...

I ended up importing the Sentai LE a while back. The description for this set (hardcover book, novel and art cards) seems to be almost identical, aside from the shadow-box scene kit (and presumably the big outer box plus ribbon). The web description misses out ep.0, but zoom in on the image and...

i need someone to ask if there is hopefully a reason how and why the levelling and spacing between four identical picture frames avoids any consistency. Even if it’s just that one eye is higher than the other, and a wooden leg means you beer to the right. Or just to irritate people like me…
