Out of curiosity, is the slip box a hard cardboard or thin?

Out of curiosity, is the slip box a hard cardboard or thin?

It appears to be chipboard, a lot better than the one LRG did for Sam & Max. They still need to do season 3 of that.

Waiting on the slipcase and the Grimoire editions of these myself on Switch.

 

[Joe]

Yeah, it's a chipboard case.

 

[HWR]

Yeah, it's a chipboard case.

Thanks for confirming - I ordered one to go alongside the Grimoire Editions so hopefully it arrives safely when the time comes.

 

[Anime1977]

Got this lot from hmv today.

It almost seems heretical to not have Soul of a New Machine on a digital format

My latest arrivals:

 

[farzam1999]

Was away for one week in Poland, these were waiting for me when I got back. I was looking at Ranma 1/2 (standards) from Amazon, but I randomly searched for Set 3 on Google, as Amazon wouldn’t ship to Denmark, and stumbled across a listing for all eight Limited Editions here in Denmark. Total price for all eight were around £280, which is crazy cheap compared to eBay prices. However, seller failed to mention they were a smoker So all of them reek… Does anyone have any tips to get rid of the smell? - I’ve wiped all of them down, not the cases or booklets (yet), then placed them in a sealed bag with scented candles. If that doesn’t get rid of it, then I‘ll wipe them (carefully) with rubbing alcohol.

I haven't tried this myself, but from what I hear newspaper makes for great smell absorption. They suggest wrapping the items in newspaper and place them in an airtight container for days.

Thank you, I’ll try that as well

Coffee beans do too

Coffee beans do too

I didn’t think of that! - I even have coffee beans around the house, though that’s because I like the smell of coffee, lol.

 

[kevers7290]

Coffee beans do too

Can confirm. I had a pair of sneakers (trainers) that smelled like mildew and coffee beans were the ONLY thing that worked. Everything else just temporarily masks the odor. Be careful though as coffee beans will stain/transfer to any surface they come into direct contact with.

2024 HAUL - JULY CHAPTER: BATCH #4

A few more items arrived on Wednesday & Thursday.

Spoiler: More Photos

The second wave of Director's Company titles released in the UK by Third Window Films I've finally ordered as the sixth title was released this month. The films included here are Shinji Sōmai's 1987 Luminous Woman (光る女), Sōgo Ishii's 1984 The Crazy Family (逆噴射家族) and Shinji Sōmai's 1985 Love Hotel (ラブホテル).

Third Window Films have more incoming that have been either hinted or leaked by the BBFC, and so far those are Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Bumpkin Soup as well as Toshiaru Ikeda's Mermaid Legend and Scent of a Spell.

I presume they are able to license at least up to about 12-15 titles by the end of it, but it's great to see more older films from this time period be released and restored for UK home video. 88 Films will likely take some for their Japanarchy label which I'm also looking forward to owning.

Next I decided to make an eBay order for two more Nintendo Switch titles. First we have Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore, the remaster of the Wii U cult classic that combines Fire Emblem with Shin Megami Tensei (though using a Persona style aesthetic). A controversial game given the western release was toned down in some aspects but the gameplay as a whole was apparently pretty solid so why not.

Then we have Triangle Strategy by Square Enix and the team behind Octopath Traveler. This game is a homage to the classic tactical RPG games from the publisher and the physical releases are still around but seem to be using the European/Italian artwork so I decided to take the pre-owned route to secure a UK based copy.

The latest batch of titles from Radiance Films arrived this weekend, alongside a copy of the 101Films release for eXistenZ, which I got for £13 via eBay. I’ll try and get the VS 4K eventually but this will do for now.
