I managed to pickup most of the Blu-rays throughout the past 12-15 months, but I still needed at least 8 of them. So I placed my first Crunchyroll Store order to get 07-Ghost, Brave 10, Honey & Clover Seasons 1 & 2, and She and Her Cat. I forgot to get Tomorrow's Joe the Movie so I'll order that soon.
 
Yeah sorry about that @NormanicGrav.

I have most of the titles on the list but will look to fill in the remaining gaps. Honey and Clover is well worth the watch for anyone on the fence about getting it before the stock runs out.
Ah it's fine don't worry about it. I suppose this is an opportunity for those who have yet to try Stackry (referral link to get $10 off shipping) to give it a shot on the Crunchyroll store since you don't have to worry about the cost of shipping until later for situations like this.

Since it is the holiday season I don't expect my orders to ship out immediately but should be ready for my planned January haul.
 
Yeah I’m cautious about getting anything shipped directly from the store and Stackry have been consistently good so far so I’ll likely take that route as well. My planned order contains Discotek pre-order titles for Jan and maybe Feb too so will be a wait anyways.
 
I've had to make 2 orders because I forgot to add Tomorrow's Joe the Movie but I'll use these titles (07-Ghost, Brave 10, Honey and Clover Seasons 1 & 2, She and Her Cat, Tetsujin 24 (2004), Tetsujin 24 Movie & Tomorrow's Joe the Movie) to be part of my January haul. And then use another order later to fill the gaps. Might get newer titles but I do want to make sure I have the older releases secured as well.

(also for those who are interested in Battery the Animation, you may want to get that sooner as it's the same licensor and timeframe as The Great Passage. Some of the titles also included in the OOP list are Crunchyroll releases so see here for more recommendations on how to proceed)

From their website: an update on their OOP titles.

Quite a few titles I want here, unfortunately I know I won't be able to get all the ones I want in time due to other things I want and budget etc.

Notable titles are Honey & Clover, Dr. Slump (Movie 1 - 5), Cinderella Boy, Lupin the Third: Part II and Golden Boy.

I can at least see Lupin the Third: Part II getting blu-ray releases down-the-line so the entire series is on blu-ray and though not a part of the series, fingers crossed on Cinderella Boy as well as that is also by Monkey Punch.

Golden Boy I'd say is a popular niche show (in this side of the anime community anyway) so hoping on an eventual blu-ray of that as well. Don't have much hope on the Dr. Slump movies getting a re-release though unless the upcoming Sand Land projects really drive interest in more non-DB Toriyama works.

It's worrying how many of those have gone OOP after only 3-4 years.
 
Legend of the Gold of Babylon going OOP is surprising, unless they are upping it to 4K that stands out as abit strange.

This list has made me fomo buy Legend of Black Heaven and the Honey and Clover BDs, neither of which I had on my wish list anymore but here we are lol. Fortunately I have everything else I want already.

Excited to use Stackry for the first time, I've been using Planet Express for years but the sales tax being in force on RS/CR has left me looking for alternatives so hopefully it all goes well.
 
From that list the following Blu Ray titles are now (currently) listed as Sold Out on the CR Store:
  • Babel II OVA BD
  • Sea Prince and the Fire Child BD
  • Shin Getter Robo vs New Getter Robo BD (Available on DVD still as of posting)
  • Tekkaman Blade II BD
 
I'm thinking of using Stackry for ordering some of these from Crunchyroll Store. I've put in my stackry address for delivery. Does anyone know what I should put as my billing address, the stackry one or my actual address? I'm gonna use paypal to pay. ( and I do have that issue of crunchyroll not accepting my phone number)

As I used PayPal my billing address was my home address but the main delivery location is still to Stackry. I know some folks had issues with the phone numbers not working for UK-based but both address slots had used the same Stackry phone number so my orders went through fine.

Rightstuf's name appeared on my Monzo payments, so if you've used Rightstuf before with the US address + PayPal method it'll probably be the same systems here.

I was gonna ask if you've tried Stackry before a while back when you've been doing your regular Discotek hauls here and there on your YT channel. Happy to see you give it a shot and if you have any queries about the service feel free to ask as I've used Stackry at least 5-6 times at this point, all of which were successful. Heck the recent Sentai Filmworks store haul I did came via Stackry.

Out of the whole OOP list, Honey and Clover is probably the one that threw me off the most, but I made sure I had my order placed this morning. I still need to look into Shin Getter Robo vs Neo Getter Robo but I'll make a decision later on that.
 
Does anyone know 100% if the Panasonic trick works on their 1080p players as well? I really want Getter Robo Armageddon and Giant Robo OVA (not confirmed to work on B players either way) but I'm scared
