A few things from the last couple of days.
My second shipment from Down Under courtesy of Sanity.com.au - Boruto blu-ray sets 6 to 14, which were part of their 'relocation' sale and managed to find a code online that gave me a further 10% off.
I ended up having to pay a customs charge on these as the total value was over the £135 limit. Still, each set came to ~£23 including shipping and the customs charge, so pretty good all in all! I'm region B only for the time being, so thank the heavens Crunchyroll seem to be steadily releasing these in Australia and New Zealand, the latest being released March 6, 2024.
Anime Limited should have Naruto Part I and Naruto Shippuden out on blu-ray by the time I'm ready for retirement.
The elusive Boruto set 5 should be arriving late this afternoon via DHL according to the tracking - I had to purchase this one with JB-Hifi New Zealand and use a parcel forwarder as it was seemingly out of print in Australia.
From Forbidden Planet, the final volume of Alice in Borderland!
This series has my favourite manga spines.
And finally, a little something from World of Books, the first Wheel of Time book - thought I'd finally give this series a go. Only £3 with a discount code.

The first 5 or so wheel of time books are fun romps. My friend is a big fan of the series and swears by them. I’ve you’ve not read Robin Hobb, I’d recommend the Farseer Trilogy, it’s a great mix of coming of age, fantasy, spy/espionage and political themes. Plus it’s the first trilogy of many that are all linked, so lots to dig into if it’s your jam.

Thank you for the recommendation - I've not read the Farseer Trilogy but going by your description, it sounds like something that is exactly up my street! I'll definitely give it a look.

The second trilogy is about sentient merchant ships and as silly as that sounds, it is amazing. The world building is the best I’ve read.

Haha, wow, that is definitely something different. I love to read fantasy and world building is my favourite part of the journey so it sounds promising. I'll see how Wheel of Time goes first though

Boruto Set 5 came through the door just now, with a lovely little handwritten note from the parcel forwarding company in New Zealand that I used, which is a nice touch. If anyone is interested, they're called Jetkrate and I had a very positive experience with them.

Parasyte -the maxim- Collector's Edition and Akame ga Kill! Collector's Edition Blu-rays from All the Anime (purchased as part of their Spring Sale).
2024 HAUL - MARCH CHAPTER: BATCH #5
The days get brighter but there's just one package for this batch since there's delays.
I have been falling behind on the latest Eureka Entertainment releases because their recent early bird offers didn't include the 4K releases, and there were so many being released at the same time.
I prioritised two of the four from the latest February & March batches of releases. From the February line-up is Lo Wei's 1974 Hong Kong/USA film Slaughter In San Francisco (黃面老虎), also known as Yellow Faced Tiger which obviously won't work nowadays. This film stars Chuck Norris which is neat to see and I don't think I own anything that stars him in these Asian Cinema batches so far (Edit: Turns out I do, as he's a friend of Bruce Lee and was featured in The Way of the Dragon!).
And from the March line-up is the limited edition release for Joseph Kuo's 1968 Taiwan film The Swordsman of All Swordsmen (一代劍王), which includes a remaster of the surviving print elements for Joseph Kuo's 1979 film The Mystery of Chess Boxing (雙馬連環) with the burn-in subtitles. Interestingly, even though it's an 18 rated release this is caused by the latter film as the main feature film is just a 12.

The standard edition of the OVAs is in the mystery box if you were interested. I posted on the Anime Limited thread a pic of what I got in the box.
