What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

[BrokenPhoenix]

Some Third Window releases from Arrow's current sale. There seems to be a universal 10% off code floating around too if anyone is interested: BRUMHORROR

TWF are firmly favourite label at the minute.



House (1977) from Rarewaves. This one I am super happy about getting. I put off getting this for a while, but then it suddenly went out of print and I was gutted - prices shot up to £40-£50 for copies on eBay but I held off. However, as I had set up a stock alert, I received an email last week to say it was back in stock on Rarewaves for £17! There were only a few copies available and they all sold in about 30 minutes - I was quite lucky I was at my emails at the time. The lesson is, if you want something, buy it when you can before it goes OOP.

I received 6 Blu-ray titles today from the Sentai Summer Sale:

Toka Gettan: The Moonlight Lady Returns
Why the Hell are You Here Teacher!?
My Teen Romantic Comedy Snafu Climax (Season 3)
Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon Season 4 Part 1
Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon Season 4 Part 2
Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 1

I was somewhat surprised to see a slipcover included with Why the Hell are You Here Teacher!? - until I opened up the product page for it on Sentai's web site after receiving it today - Well dang, I didn't know it has an uncensored coversheet on the Blu-ray case! Guess I'm going to have to break the seal on that one right away, lol!

With Heron being announced I realised I never picked up Earwig, so fixed that.
Also picked up Stellar Blade finally.

 

[HWR]

Some pickups from 88Films.

 

[Shadow Cat]

Bai Yuekui has arrived. Another lovely box from GE.

Smaller than Ran Bings thankfully (About half the size)

 

[BrokenPhoenix]

Some more Koreeda films from HMV, and a couple more Arrow sale items.



Managed to snag this at a decent price too - seems to be the only way to own Koreeda's best film (imo) on region B, Nobody Knows.

excellent, love Kore-eda and didn't know Monster was out. Nobody Knows probably my fav too, Still Walking also devastating.

Monster only came out last month. He's definitely one of favourite filmmakers, his films just hit different don't they.

2024 HAUL - JULY CHAPTER: BATCH #2

I've had a long streak of work for the past eight days (yes I am an overworked individual) so now I had the time to see the latest packages. One arrived on Monday, another arrived yesterday and the final one today.

It's surreal to see an English version of the classic Type-Moon visual novel, though it's just one half. Tsukihime -A Piece of Blue Glass Moon- was localised by Aniplex of America and just like the anime, they went for the limited edition only model like Witch on the Holy Night (though this game was given an import friendly release in Japan & Asia). Since Tsukihime already received a release in Japan months ago, I had to go for the North American release from Aniplex of America.

I went with Video Games Plus because I'm happy with their handling of the UK market. £76 to get the limited edition over here (free shipping & VAT covered). There is a European physical version but it's handled by a Taiwanese distributor and not only is it way more expensive to get, it's not even released in Europe. Thank goodness for Switch being region free. Not opened the artbook due to spoilers.

Spoiler: Radiance Collection

Been a while since I picked up a World Cinema Radiance title and one that's been on my radar recently released in the June line-up. This is the limited edition Blu-ray box set for The Agitator: Three Provocations from the Wild World of Jean-Pierre Mocky, featuring three films from the French director - 1982's Litan: The City of Green Ghosts (Litan: La cité des spectres verts), 1984's Kill the Referee (À mort l'arbitre) and 1987's Agent Trouble.

This month's latest Eureka Entertainment titles arrived today which I didn't expect. The first is Jeong Chang-hwa's 1976 Hong Kong film The Double Crossers (鬼計雙雄) which is part of the Eureka Classics range and comes with a slipcase and booklet. The other is Kinji Fukasaku's 1978 Japanese film Message from Space (宇宙からのメッセージ) as part of the Masters of Cinema line-up, comes with a slipcase, booklet and poster. I ordered both from their July early bird offer when they revealed both titles.

THIS is what I received today (well, went and picked up). Not the book (or little picture). I just wish I had some room for all my new Betty's. That heart-shaped picture frame alone weighed over 2kg.

I saw this in an antiques place in Kibworth the other month, a lifesize Betty, sorry didn't see how much it was cos the dent in the middle of her head kinda freaked me out too much!

Kickstarter from aloha comics...English language of some BL manhua plus bonuses for reaching stretch goals.

So, what will hopefully be my final dalliance with Temu for a while has now arrived, all of the items look great and fit really well and comfortably (24 is a 2-piece outfit set btw for anyone who was unclear on that from the picture), I've been wearing the magic bus rainbow t-shirt with the daisy colour block overalls and the socks and shoes today I'm not entirely sure how to wean myself off overly frequent clothes shopping retail therapy, but I'll keep trying, that said I'm super happy with what I got this time (I was prepared to return anything that didn't fit or was poor quality, but that won't be needed on this occasion). I have started up my weekly goals again and I'm dating a rly lovely guy now so hopefully having other reasons to be cheerful will help me feel less of a need to shop for distractions... and the overalls help me to channel my inner 5 year old
