Plain white spine

I'm getting increasingly disheartened with the lack of imagination with the increasing number of AL white spines on my shelf - most of the boxsets I find are well designed but the spines, I don't know if it's meant to be a minimalist artistic presentation, but just comes across as an after thought to me.

 

[Wicker]

I don't mind the white spine tbh but I do mind that they keep breaking up the digipack artwork with an unnecessary spine with the ugly logo and title- there's no need to do that!

Absolutely a huge complaint of mine too! A digipak is supposed to have nothing but artwork on it - There is absolutely no need for a spine layout on a digipak whatsoever - that is truly disgusting and someone should be fired for even considering it! They ruined the Planetes digipak with that nonsense too.

They ruined the Planetes digipak with that nonsense too.

JJK was met with the same fate and that even had the BBFC logo shoved in to boot! Something I thought they had left behind years ago.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

uh... so did that blog post from the last stream ever go up?

 

[Demelza]

No there hasn’t been a blog post yet.

Nadia replacement disc arrived. I paid 1,2 GBP customs fees, and that's normal for parcels (minimal amount). Anyway, finally works. Now, I will be waiting... for my bag from Spy X Family... That still not arrived.

A Place Further Than the Universe is available to pre-order now, it is £49.99 (£44.99 with Unlimited).

EB window is up until the 15th March which I read after I ordered it so could had waited a little bit before ordering but don't wanna miss out on this set.

A Place Further Than the Universe - Blu-ray + Soundtrack CD Collector's Edition

Scenery that we have never seen. Sounds that we have never heard. Scent that we have never smelled. Food that we have never tasted. And the surge of emotion that we have never experienced. This is the expedition of recollecting the pieces torn apart and sensation left alone. When we reach that...

Friday! Only got the email about it yesterday!
You can tell I haven't been on here for a while!
Anyone know where it is in terms of numbers left?

About 800-900 left when someone had a look at the checkout late last week. The US will be able to get access to the set via Shout! so they shouldn't interfere with the UK stock.

Official AL Twitter teasing more than one Gundam announcement incoming.

@Hanners Don't play with my heart, I'm a fragile waif.

 

[TakamakiJoker]

If that's the case, I hope AL finishes all of backlog Gundam titles this year or early 2025.
The Gundam releases have been much better and faster since Seed Destiny.

The Gundam Backlog barring Gundam Witch of Mercury as of 2024, not counting recap movies.

[BrokenPhoenix]

I'm glad the Great Pretender is getting a standard release - I'm sure they'll do some sort of bundle deal on the two sets at some point, so I'll wait.

Gundam Build Fighters Try - Season 2 Part 1 Collector's Edition

In Gundam Build Fighters Try, seven years have passed since Sei Iori won the 7th Gunpla Battle Championship World Tournament. The Gunpla Battle Championship is now run by Yajima Trading. With new rules and battle modes, the game's popularity has become even more widespread. However, the Seiho...

Gundam Build Fighters Try Part 1 is the early bird today, changed from the briefly available schedule.

 

[HellCat]

But I wanted SEED Freedom!

"You keep whining, we'll make it Twilight Axis."

...I'll be good.

 

[Jaysgba]

Another total rip off like Season 1. I am saving so much money every month ever since AL went to ****.

 

[Titan]

So much for this pre-order going live today. What's the point of having a release schedule (via failed live stream no less) if you can't stick to it.

Thanks for that just ordered mine. Now to wait for part 2, more to the point does anyone know when the next gundam announcement is not to mention that fact that Andy said those video announcements for new titles are going to be more of a monthly thing so do we know when the next one is?

So, as it stands, the other dates mentioned were

23rd of February: Science Fell in Love, So I tried to prove it Season 1 (may be the wrong date, see below)
29th of February: Rental Magica Parts 1 and 2 (the stream graphics said the 23rd, was corrected to be the 29th, may apply to Science Fell in Love too)
7th of March: My Next Life as a Villainess, All Routes Lead to Doom! Season 1
14th of March: Lupin the third Part 6
28th of March: B: The Beginning Succession
Undated: Eureka Seven Hi-Evolution 3, Somali and The Forest Spirit.

I would guess Somali and the Forest Spirit will show up given the standard has a release date in March, as does Golden Time too so thats another to fit in. Potentially multiple things on the 29th though, seems a bit much.

I don't mind changes but when we don't know until the day (though they teased Gundam for today tbf) it can be a bit of a pain. I like to plan ahead with what pre-orders I wanna buy for the month.

I really wish they would re-upload the video or a blog post would be available. If they're not because of all the changes I guess I understand why but even just having the video up to look back on and have some info about the releases.
