OMGGG my boots from Temu arrived and they're amazingly awesome and cool I LOVE them!!

 

[Girls with Guns]

Ah, so you got those "racy" boots today - Kids, close your eyes!

I got my Dirty Pair Blu-rays and Art Book today, same stuff as HWR pictured above. My book has two, inch-long slashes in the shrink wrap in the bottom purple border area of the front cover that are most likely knife cuts from a box cutter, so there are some faint cut lines in the cover surface. But no dents in the book cover or the storage box, so that's good enough for me.

So here is the obligatory photo of my better-late-than-never Dirty Pair Kickstarter set and art book I finally received yesterday via Fedex. Unfortunately, there are two short utility knife cuts through the shrink wrap in the bottom purple border area on the front cover of the art book, so it did leave some light scoring in the cover surface. Other than that, everything arrived undamaged/undinged.


Dirty Pair Kickstarter Box Set + OVA Series, Features, Flash, and Art Book

Got the Lego Game Boy in Smyths as there's £5 off Lego when you spend over £50.
The Babylon CE was priced as the standard at £18 in CEX.

I still can't shake the feeling that it all looks more like a bootleg than a legit commercial product.

From what I've of the DP kickstarter it looks like it looks like an old hkdvd anime set. Matter of fact I still have quite a few hk sets from my early days of collecting and most of them look better than this DP set does.

New release from Arrow Video. That’s another entry in the 31 Days of Halloween marathon sorted.

Today I received two more anime shipments - one with three UK titles from a blu-ray.com member, and one title from Crunchyroll US:

Quintessential Quintuplets Season 1 UK Blu-ray
Quintessential Quintuplets Season 2 UK Blu-ray
Quintessential Quintuplets Movie UK Blu-ray

Vampire Hunter D Sentai Re-issue with slipcover

So did the second season of Quints never come with a slipcover? I have yet to see one for Season 2. I got all three UK sets for only $36, so this was a major bargain even without a matching S2 slipcover, considering the OOP US Funimation Season 1 Blu-ray is selling for $400+ on eBay. I could just find a cheap copy of the US Season 2 Blu-ray to steal the slipcover off of, and still have a bargain.

We never got a slipcover for Quints S2 in the UK unfortunately as it was during a time Funimation / Crunchyroll had ditched them for the most part.

As Lucky_Deity said, this was from a brief period when Crunchyroll UK abandoned slipcovers.

As to the bolded, that won't work. Your UK set is in the typical thicker UK case, and the US version is in the thinner case that Crunchyroll US uses for 2-disc sets so the slip won't fit on the UK case. Not unusual for Crunchyroll US, S1 is a blu-ray + DVD combo set, while S2 is blu-ray only hence is just two discs. You could, of course, just swap the entire packaging.

As you probably know, most of the Crunchyroll UK standard sets are blu-ray only, which I prefer since I have no use for the extra DVDs.

 

[Girls with Guns]

Yes, I am aware of the difference in thickness between the US and UK Standard BD cases, so you are correct I'd have to sap the entire package - or, I could just toss the other two slipcovers to make them all match... For now I'll just leave them the way they are.

And I agree about DVDs - I had been griping for 15 years about including DVDs in LE/CE sets - I haven't bought anything on DVD since 2008, with the only exceptions being that I had no choice in buying combo sets and anime DVD series that never received a Blu-ray release.
