Got my haul on Saturday. One slight disappointment though is that Sherlock Hound's slipcover is really badly printed. Might have to try for a replacement on that as I love that show. Wrote an article about it on the blog a few years back.

It was Fedex. I'm not sure it even told you with every shipping option who the courier was though when going via Stackry. Didn't think using anyone in particular would be an issue though because it didn't seem to be an issue with stackry before.

Grrrrr. An annoying follow up. I got a customs charge card through the door today despite using Stackry. Not sure what I did incorrectly but this is exactly what I was hoping to avoid. I've used them 4 times before and never been hit by any charges. £56.23! I'm pretty annoyed right now, I still...

This thread makes me realise just how long I've been waiting for my rightstuf order. It was held up for about 3 weeks while I waited for everything to come back into stock, then took over a week for rightstuf to actually send a shipping notice, then it had to be sent to stackry and since then...

Got my first Rightstuf order in about a year coming shortly via Stackry. Cannot wait. Have been starved of Region A discs for a while. Damn import fees. Really glad these proxy services exist otherwise us UK based fans would be be really desperate for old school releases. I really wish one...

Gunbuster for me as well! Feels like ages since it was up for pre-order. Definitely going to rewatch that this weekend. I won't share pics (everyone else has done a fine job with theirs) however I will say I really like the style of blu ray inlay AL has went for. The fact that ugly elephant ass...

@Girls with Guns Haven't been on here for a while and just read what happened to you last month. Lucky escape man, glad to hear you're okay. Got Arrow Video's Bruce Lee at Golden Harvest (4K) set through the post today. A lot of people who bought theirs direct from Arrow have been raging...

It feels as if they've gotten these deluxe editions out remarkably quickly. Can't quite believe they've already gotten to Mirura's final chapters. Cool that they're including the guidebook, I didn't expect them to do that. Glad they did though, would have looked incredibly weird putting that...

Today was a pretty cool mail day. I am now the proud owner of almost 100 settei model sheets that i'm sure a few people here will enjoy. They're from a series about a dandy guy.....in space. Also to continue with the Chainsaw Man love, a Sega prize figure of the titular anti-hero.

@farzam1999: I take it those Japan special edition BDs of Chainsaw Man don't have any English subtitles on them? I know most JP releases don't but you've got to check these things.

@Stiivun Would be very interested to hear your opinions on this show. I've never seen any of it and when the Kickstarter came up I was interested after I found out more about its production history (reminded me of all of the old 80's Franco Japanese co-productions like Ulysses 31 & Mysterious...

Ugh, Zavvi. I feel like by even speaking their name i'm inviting disaster, like summoning a demon or something. Worst customer service I've ever encountered. As someone who collects steelbooks for beloved movies i'm glad they don't often do exclusives that tempt me. I remember getting a damaged...

I went on the 3ds eshop today as well hoping they'd have a sale on the Phoenix Wright game I was missing (Spirit of Justice) or its DLC, nope. Full price. I bought it but I strongly suspect there will be another release on a future platform, no doubt cheaper and possibly a physical one and I'll...

I noticed that Zavvi sale last night (was already online for purchasing the Leon 4k steelbook which I thought might sell out) and wondered if anyone had posted it. As a steelbook collector the Dragon Ball Super steel set being reduced to £79.99 is tempting. Also tempted by the limited edition...

I totally understand regarding time pressure and very good of you to even contemplate doing it to be honest. Speaking of the "flipping" issue I noticed the preview artwork images on sites like HMV and Amazon for the upcoming UK RB releases of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero (steelbook and...
