The "final" pieces of my Ghibli collection arrived. Unfortunately, the second hand copy of Arrietty I received has the "6" on the spine, but I'm not bothered too much, I don't really fancy trying to hunt down a "18" slipcover or another copy of a Blu-ray that's over a decade old now - maybe I'll just write 18 on it in pen or something
Oh, I just realised I got When Marnie Was There (which I keep calling Marnie and Me in my head
![Face with tears of joy :joy: 😂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/7.0/png/unicode/64/1f602.png)
) today as well, but forgot to include it in the picture.
And here they all are. A mixture of CEs and the standard double-play Blu-ray+DVD. The only reason I got some CEs is because they were the same or similar price to the standard double-play editions on eBay.
I've got The Red Turtle coming from HMV as well, but not sure if that's considered a 'proper' Ghibli film. I also know of that CGI film Ghibli put out not long ago as well, but haven't heard great things about it, so I'll probably pass unless I see it at a bargain bin price. I hope we get a UK release of The Boy and the Heron though.
Overall, these weren't too bad to collect considering they're not exactly making any more of these I think, because Studio Canal had some bust up with another company. I did get lucky with a few of them (e.g., my copy of The Wind Rises from CEX came with the slipcover included and I managed to snag slipcovers for my copies of Pom Poko and Kiki for £5 each on eBay). They were all between £8-£20, so not too bad in terms of price either.
Happy to have them all physically anyway!
