Yep, I got a shipping notice email for Oedo 808 as well, although I won't see it arrive here in the US for about 10-14 days.
My Summer Ghost CE shipped from AlltheAnime on January 31, but it has not arrived here yet, and the tracking for it still has not been updated since the initial "awaiting receipt of package" post, even though AL told me the package was picked up. The Deer King CE shipped in a separate package on the same day from AL, with a complete tracking history, and I received that one on February 9th. So Summer Ghost is out there in limbo somewhere.

Hmm, have to contact AL too about a replacement that was declared full value, after trying for a rather long time to get that replacement in the first place...
@ussjtrunks yeah IOSS for AL would be great.

It's a sign of the times that one could even have the audacity to deliver something in that state (let alone Eva
) and then charge for this appalling excuse for a service, utterly shameless. Accidents happen, and that would be understandable, but this?! Fools should've returned to sender and arranged reparations, but no, that's more of your time and energy to be wasted thanks to their shambolic "delivery". Sorry dude and hope AL can sort out another one for you quickly.

A couple of frames of the new Cyber City disc, and I am happy. The disc that should have been released to begin with. What's funny is that the documentary contains clips from the first attempt, and it only highlights just how bad that was.

Waiting for the standard edition but happy to hear its better. The artifacting on the first disc made me think it was faulty.

AL sent out my replacement Evangelion today, fairly sure the customs fee I paid is lost. I emailed An Post and they sent me a reply saying I needed like 17 documents and had to post them off and then wait upto 6 months for a refund. I have not got time for that lol

This is something that AL should be handling on your behalf to get refunded.
Being forced to pay that customs fee for something that is so egregiously damaged is downright malicious by A Post.
AL won't be able to get An Post to refund the original customs charge since it's entirely between the recipient and the postal service, though they should be able to provide documents to prove that the replacement was a free replacement etc. It always annoys me when a postal service makes you post physical documents to claim a refund for their screw-up; it's like you're giving them more custom because they did something wrong!

Then that's the ideal option, I didn't know that getting a refund of customs charge isn't a option. I know the US Customs offers such a program for defective merchandise, which is why I mentioned it.
Then AL should definitely be submitting documents to prove the replacement was free so they don't have to pay customs twice for essentially one functional item.

Most hentai probably wouldn't make it past the BBFC even under their pronographic certification and you can't release anything in UK without an age rating.

All cinema and video releases by law must be rated by the bbfc for an age rating U, PG, 12A/12, 15 and 18. Hardcore porn was illegal but In 2000 the law was changed but hardcore porn carried the rating of R-18, but with this new found freedom for porn still carried a price in that R-18 rated content could only be sold in licensed sex shops and it is illegal to distribute R-18 rated content through the British Post so post order is not an option (mind you I was aware of one site that bypassed this by posting R-18 content to Spain then selling it back to UK customers by international Post, the law only covers UK Post after all), maybe all that made sense in 2000 but now when everything is done online it does make you wonder if the law is outdated.

The new edition of Cyber City Oedo 808 is a significant visual upgrade over the original. Setting aside the obvious instances of compression artefacting on the old one, I didn't think the rest of it looked bad at the time, but there's a night and day difference to the new one. The background paintings especially benefit due to all the detailed cityscapes on display. I was hesitant about double-dipping, but I'm glad I did now.
I also noticed a little Easter egg with the catalogue number of the new disc, which is ANI0808.

So i finally watched cyber city oedo 808 and my thoughts on it are ........................................................................... GIVE US MORE GUNDAM AL. Sorry thought I'd channel my inner @HellCat .
all in all i did enjoy it and is a great example of a product of it's time particularly the dub. Must say however I prefer the Japanese soundtrack and given the desire these day's for more accurate dub's I wouldn't mind going back again like the re-dub of akira.
