Received Summer Ghost CE today & noticed that it didn't come with the bonus item it mentions on the website. Was this a mistake or did AL stealthy remove the bonus item?

Just a update to say I received my set of bookmarks from AL today, which was a surprise as I never got a reply to my message. So if anyone else who ordered the CE wants them, send AL a message and let them know.

Whatever happened to the standard editions of Cardcaptor Sakura?
I checked their site and they're still listed as being released in 2 weeks but aren't available to preorder 🤔
Did they forget about them? 😂

Mine also turned up today without prompting so presumably they were just taking their time. So much for improving communication though.

It boggles the mind that there's a £40 RRP for a 40-minute short. Even super-expensive items like the Pony Canyon US Sound! Euphonium discs didn't work out at a pound per minute!
 
Seems Anime Limited has the Bleach vinyl up for preorder. I wonder how many copies since the email about it said extremely limited.

I should also consider whether to get it-And it's ordered. I really didn't hesitate it seems...

Yeah, I almost stumped up for this then saw it was only 40 minutes long. Even at the currently reduced price of £25... no.

Manga Video had an almost perfect pricing model for OAVs back in the mid-90s. It started at £6 for half-hour episodes like The Guyver, 45 minutes tended to be £9 for the likes of a Doomed Megalopolis episodes, an hour would be £11 for something like Battle Angel Alita (2x 30 minutes), and feature-length movies were £13. They bumped up some brackets by a pound later on, but it always felt like value for running time; you knew how much you were getting for your money.

The fact that I still remember the exact prices of various anime from the 90s probably explains why I never absorbed much of what I was taught at school at the time...

Well done.
My earliest memory is GITS SAC1.
Bought 4 episodes at a time for about £15. 8 volumes.
Volume 8 was available in a steel tin with a t-shirt. I bought it.
They didn't think to make the tin to fit all volumes, it fits 7. Aaargh.
Put me off special editions for life.

No idea what I paid for anything else before that. Didn't buy any anime until 2015.

As I started reading your post I recalled that they raised the prices by £1 at some point. Then you got to that part. Never have I felt a keener moment of kinship with another forum dweller 🤜🤛

Reminds me of getting the first 6 epsiodes of Giant Robo for 6 quid each. What a bargain. Some of those episodes are 45-50 mins as well (shortest around 35).

Summer Ghost finds itself in the unfortunate position of having a short runtime and being released after AL bumped up the price of films. There's not even a compelling extra like a soundtrack to make the price more palatable. I'd possibly bite at £20 but that extra fiver makes me want to hold out for Xmas.
