With some planned upgrades for my laptop being purchased soon, I decided to upgrade my toolkit first with the prying and opening tool assortment being the most important since the opening picks are required to get the bottom off the laptop.
I pre-ordered some Discotek titles last week from Crunchyroll US, and threw in a couple of in-stock Nozomi titles that were on sale during week two of their summer sale, and those two arrived today:
First attempt at ordering directly from the Robert's Anime Corner Store site. Despite its "I Geocities" vibe not inspiring much confidence, the order was processed and dispatched quickly, and arrived very well packaged. The only downside was the price of international postage, which started at $29 for the first item. I was only going to buy Sister Venturing Out, but added the other items to bring down the per-item postage, since it was only a few dollars more to post each.
It's good to know that there's still an option for Aniplex titles that doesn't require a forwarding company (for now, at least).
I wanted to take advantage of the 25% from all your music.
I have wanted Farming Life for a while but couldn't pick another anime title. I finally picked an old cop show the Blue Knight.
HMV in York had Darling in the Franxx so I upgraded from my 2 DVDs. I wouldn't have ordered online.
K-ON the movie is a low cost risk and BlueLock was an impulse buy at the counter. It's £9.99 for S1 P1 if you're buying something else. DVD.
So, all this stuff arrived the other day, and I am very happy with Figurines 1/the Sanrio figurines, they are very cute and decently well made with even the accessories that come with the characters mostly better moulded and more durable than you might expect for small pieces. Makeup 4/Eyeshadow Stick Set B, and the Makeup 6/Liquid Eyeliner Set I love as well, I have tested all the colours from both these sets and they're really nice and well pigmented (I have not tested the UV light properties of either these or the face and body paint crayons though so I can't comment on that). Makeup 7 and Makeup 9 are ok but not the best (could do with more pigment in the colour of the non-glitter liquid part, but they do have a decent amount of glitter in them, the sort of thing that is ok if you use them with other better makeup to compliment it), Makeup 8/the face and body paint crayons are pretty good but don't seem to quite dry 100% so I wouldn't recommend, say, painting the backs of your hands before reading a book, for instance just in case, also I have tested the yellow, orange, pink and purple, not the green and blue yet, the purple lacks compared to the other three colours I tested. Makeup 5/The lipsticks were pretty rubbish barely any glitter or colour pigment and the colours are way less pretty than the picture, I really would not recommend it. The shoe rack I ordered is due for delivery today I believe, so hopefully it will be nice and well made (I don't mind getting it bolted to the wall for stability if needed though tbf)
I've seen about the first 20-30 episodes and I thought it was neat if very 80s, I am planning to finish it someday (I'm 35 btw so really a 90s kid didn't especially grow up with it though ofc I knew what it was as a child)
