A mini-update on how this haul has been progressing.
A quick haul update, figured I'll mention it here than brag about it elsewhere. I have finalised my Rightstuf hauls which I am calling the Farewell to Space Irresponsible Captain Rightstuf.
The aim of this haul is to secure as many Blu-rays as I could whilst they were in stock from Crunchyroll/Funimation, Discotek Media and also Aniplex of America because the discount code also worked for their releases which is a very special scenario of opportunities.
The hauls were done across five orders; two have been dispatched whilst the other three have yet to be shipped. Rightstuf is going through their transition into Crunchyroll's store so the open orders are a bit loose but researching around it looks like I should still be able to track my orders up to 25th October, which would also include my pre-order for OVERLORD IV (which is bundled with The Eminence in Shadow). It took about seven working days to dispatch the second order so I am expecting all except the pre-order to hopefully be sorted by end of next week.
To provide more context, I have decided to send all five orders through to Stackry to allow more room for more items into the basket (otherwise shipping costs would ruin it). As such, this haul may slip into November but at least half of them should be here later this month. The Re:ZERO & Discotek batch that arrived at the start of the month is not part of this haul as the order was made before the announcement came about.
Also a disclosure - this was a very expensive haul and I'm open to admit that. Part of the haul was made possible because I overworked myself to death for the past few weeks (this week alone is 60 hours). Obviously it ain't great news but it is what it is and at least I get paid for it (the boss himself recognises my work and we both agree the workload is a bit ****** atm). That, combined with some tactical decision making (for instance waiting until payday for Aniplex) is another factor on how this haul has wrapped up.
Now ironically, Rightstuf's closure does mean the December haul will probably be shorter than before because Crunchyroll's specials are not likely to reach the same level as its predecessor but again that can change. But anyway, think of this whole ordeal as the Black Friday/Christmas haul but moved forward a few months early.
I haven't decided how I want to post the haul on the PHOTOS thread, either in one complete post or split-up but I'll think about it over time.
