What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

Bringing the beige back, baby!



These are just for outdoors, in an attempt to force myself to take longer walks by giving me the option to listen to podcasts. I wanted some cheapish headphones that aren't so cheap as to sound terrible, but also not so expensive that I'd be filled with rage if they break while I'm out and about. I've been avoiding in-ear types since they're the likely reason for me developing chronic tinnitus several years ago, so that left me looking for some that aren't so massive they would make me look like a Cyberman.

2023 HAUL VER 8.7
(note: images are hosted via AUKN for the meantime)

Two more packages arrived yesterday and today.

Spoiler: More Photos

Part 2 of the Video Games Plus x Limited Run Games haul arrived a day earlier than anticipated. For this batch we have the physical versions for Valis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection I & II, which are a series of action platformer games originated from the MSX but the versions that were more popular are on the PC Engine. The first collection covers Valis: The Fantasm Soldier (PC Engine, 1992), Valis II (PC Engine, 1989) and Valis III (PC Engine, 1990) while the second collection covers Valis IV (PC Engine, 1991), Syd of Valis/SD Valis (Mega Drive, 1992) as well as two versions of Valis: The Fantasm Soldier (Mega Drive, 1991 & MSX, 1986).

While physical versions are available in Japan, I felt the Valis titles' story was worth playing in English so this was the only option available.

Ranking of Kings is a series that I have heard a lot about ever since it started airing a few years ago, and I missed out on the simulcast stuff for various factors. The Blu-ray is finally out in its entirely so I have ordered both parts, with Part 2 being the limited edition. You can view more photos & specs on my blog.

While the UK did receive the series, I don't want to support the current distributor's model at this time and so most of the titles I'll be picking up via the US release. Sure it's one less sale for the UK stuff but this distributor's been inconsistent for the past decade and it's gotten to a point where it's burned me out on promises etc so I can't be bothered anymore.

It's from Roger Craig Smith aka Ezio Auditore, the current voice of Sonic The Hedgehog (with the exception of the movies and Sonic Prime), he was Batman in Arkham Origins and Batman Ninja, and a personal favorite of mine, Hawkodile and Richard in Unikitty

New arrivals!

Sentai mystery box was pretty crap unfortunately, I'm legit annoyed they sent Tsurune, which is still available on their storefront, when all the items were supposed to be OOP.

 

[HWR]

With the recent talk of Stackry they received my Sentai package and I paid $10 for repackaging and bubble wrap. Now to see how much they’ll charge to ship to me.

 

[unknownfate]

$19

My most recent package is with Evri so should get it tomorrow. Didn't get it repackaged this time so we'll see how Sentai packed it

 

[unknownfate]

Can't be bothered to photograph but package #2 from Stackry delivered today.

Sentai packaging (lack of) survived the trip without the contents getting damaged but I'd advise paying Stackry for repackaging as their box was a much heavier gauge.

So in other words, Stackry repackage is the better option going forward for Sentai orders then?

 

[HWR]

I’ll take pics when my Stackry repackage arrives - still being worked on atm.

My Sentai order via Stackry, no packaging inside but contents were undamaged.

Glad to know Haikyu exists considering TRSI only now has it in stock… (therefore UP1 has took a while)

I cancelled it on TRSI and got it from Sentai. When I messaged them about it 2 weeks ago they said they had no time frame of when it would be in stock, so I gave up waiting.

First time ordering from Rightstuf during their sale last month and using Ship7 forwarding service.

Yes. Attached my "haul" and a comparison of the thickness between Sentai and Stackry cardboard stock.
