The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

Lupin III - Vols 6, 7, 9, 11 and 12
Lupin III: Worlds Most Wanted - Vol 4

Getting some of the cheapish ones first, looks like I might start struggling to get a complete collection though.
 
I received my Natsumes Book fo Friends set from an ebay seller today, quite possibly the nicest thing in my collection, the outer box is all textured and gives the impression you're holding a nice aged book. Quality.

does this release come with a separate sign subtitle track or just full subtitles?

Unfortunately not. It seems Aniplex do not believe in Signs/Songs sub tracks as it only has full Japanese and English subs. (Like the JP BD box.)
It is a bit of a pain too, as you have to turn them on to see what is written on Celty's phone, or when Simon is speaking Russian.

Premium prices for Manga UK quality subtitles. Go Aniplex! If I hadn't already decided to stick with my DVDs, that certainly would've convinced me.
 
Yeah it sucks for dub fans; redoing the BDs must have been too expensive and the original Japanese version had this oversight (the dub being included more as a bonus for the audience which could already read the Japanese text). Fortunately for me I only bought it for a cheap HD version of the original and will never watch the dub :s

I, too, had my pre-order for Aniplex's Durarara BD set charged and shipped. Have heard about the lack of separate subtitle track for signs, but I can't say I am really that bothered by it. I'll never watch the dub - I just want one of my favourite series on blu-ray. I've heard the artbox is the chipboard kind, as opposed to the thin card used in the Madoka LEs, so that, perhaps, offers some kind of comfort to disappointed buyers.
