Any of ye know what the early bird prices were compared to the mcm sale prices?

I was going to mention this earlier. You're actually getting a good deal on the BLEACH (2004) set (feel like AL have scammed Unlimited members/those who purchased it during the original EB period a bit here).

Bleach (2004) set 1 CE was £49.99 EB when it went live initially, £44.99 with Unlimited.

Now in the MCM sale it's £44.99 standard price - so if you're an Unlimited member, you can get it for ~£40. Not going to be too upset about £4, but it makes you question your Unlimited membership.
 
They used to be the same prices but I think Bleach CE was £50 on early bird and is now £45.
Which is a little annoying as it was a pre order and its only just shipped, but it'll do. Basically not really encouraging me to do pre orders when you can order later and before release (on release day) and get it cheaper.

We really need ioss the customs charges are getting out of hand, I’d buy so much more if it was implemented. ATM I have to wait for sales so the customs fees don’t add up

It's more UPS fees being obscene. It doesn't help that An Post recently raised their clearance fee from €3.50 to €5.

If Macross Plus was shipped by FedEx as it usually would have been the FedEx clearance fee is 30% of the VAT when the VAT charge is under €50 with a minimum payment of €5, which would have been about €7.40 in this instance.
 
Blimey, checked my emails when I got back from work and saw not one, not two but three dispatch emails with Naruto 1, Bleach 1 and Bleach: TYBW 1. My apologies to the post man!
 
I'd be interested to hear impressions of how the Macross Plus UE turned out, especially video quality and the book. I remember being disappointed by the huge book in the Evangelion UE because so much of it was just page after page of episode credits, episode synopses, etc.

Yeah I’ve noticed an posts increase it’s absurd as it’s a machine doing it for an post so why would it’s costs increase other than pure greed
 
A bit of an update. While I will do my best to report the announcements the the AL panel the signal there is not great depending on your location so I will try my best but it might not get through (and that's assuming I remember to go to the panel, there not posted around like they used to be).

How is Kakegurui Season 2 not licensed when they confirmed 3 years ago that they have licensed it? In 2021 AL said "You don't have anything to worry about in that regard in Kakegurui's case 😉" when people voiced their worries of AL not releasing the second season since AL has a bad record of not releasing second seasons (March Comes in like a Lion, Sound! Euphonium, Amanchu). F*ck, I should have gone with Sentai's release of both seasons instead and never wasted money on AL's release of the first season.

So like are we going to get a £5 refund for bleach it seem extremely unfair to charge those who preordered £5 more when bleach isn’t officially out until November

I highly doubt it. I wonder if it was simply a pricing error on their part - everything else in the sale seemed to be the same original EB price.
