Flippin hell this was stressful as heck. So I finally received the third Limited Edition Blu-ray Box Set of Sword Art Online Season 1. What a situation this was.
The set sold out on Rightstuf so I went to Robert's Anime Corner Store to see if I could get it there. They told me it just sold out on their side and Aniplex was 'undecided' on a reprint (given Aincrad got one). So I went to eBay and found one at a reasonable price even though it's slightly higher than the MSRP price but that would do (the seller was AnimeShumi). A week later USPS tells me the item was sent to the destination and I couldn't find it. I got worried. A day later (aka this morning) I spoke to the Mailman and he said it probably got sent to Royal Mail or ParcelForce as the item's arrival time was impossible (7:45am), he was also convinced the time was in US mode. A moment later I checked the mailbox and it turned out to be a custom sliver card for me. I was relieved but what caught my eye the most was the custom charge, the seller reduced the value of the item and made it a gift, effectively reducing the charges and only making me pay £15.15 at the post office (in case you're wondering, I should have to pay about £40-50).
Anywho enough about my rambling and onto the set itself.

You can view all four SAO sets on my Imgur album. UPDATE: Blog Posts for Set 3 and Set 4 are now up.
And that will be it for anime this month. I spent most of my spare cash to get these Sword Art Online sets and I doubt I'll be able to get others for another month. The original plan was to get Fate/Zero Part 2 but that's postponed to Q2 pickups. I may get some games and manga (as they're cheaper) but for now I'm taking a break.
