After just over six years of trying to get what is supposed to be a gaming monitor to not suck when doing anything basic like not smearing text when scrolling in discord, I finally decided (after several months of window shopping on Amazon) I decided to get a replacement for my main monitor and also decided on not getting another AOC monitor after six years of text smearing and when I saw this for under a hundred and on monthly payments (it also has 2 HDMI ports and one displayport port which was another plus) I went for it and even after a few hours of use I consider it to be a worthwhile investment.

Even though the camera on my phone can't do it justice it is miles better then the AOC even in gaming (although the speakers which I didn't know it had when I ordered it are an affront to god) and I can even crank the refresh rate to its maximum of 100Hz without having to connect it to displayport (which is another reason why I'm replacing the AOC monitor because the displayport connection lunched itself initially by only working when an HDMI source was connected and has now stopped working altogether and will only detect a signal for a few seconds before saying it can't and shutting down on repeat).
 
2024 HAUL - DECEMBER CHAPTER: BATCH #6

One package arrived yesterday. Tomorrow is of course Christmas, and there's even a potential one final big package from Stackry on its way before the year is over.

Bleach Part 2 - 05.jpg

A few years ago Arrow Video announced they had licensed a whole dozen amount of films from the Shaw Brothers company with Celestial Pictures, and they have since released two volumes worth of films; one in 2021 and another in 2022. They took a break in 2023 because of the Bruce Lee at Golden Harvest box set but now in 2024 they have released Shawscope Volume 3.

This volume includes 14 films of varying genres and directors, like the previous volumes were:
  • One-Armed Swordsman (獨臂刀) - Chang Cheh, 1967.
  • Return of the One-Armed Swordsman (獨臂刀王) - Chang Cheh, 1969.
  • The New One-Armed Swordsman (新獨臂刀) - Chang Cheh, 1971.
  • The Lady Hermit (鍾馗娘子) - Ho Meng-Hua, 1971.
  • Intimate Confessions of a Chinese Courtesan (愛奴) - Chor Yuen, 1972.
  • The 14 Amazons (十四女英豪) - Cheng Kang, 1972.
  • The Magic Bride (天涯明月刀) - Chor Yuen, 1976.
  • Clans of Intrigue (楚留香) - Chor Yuen, 1977.
  • Jade Tiger (白玉老虎) - Chor Yuen, 1977.
  • The Sentimental Swordsman (多情劍客無情劍) - Chor Yuen, 1977.
  • The Avenging Eagle (冷血十三鷹) - Shu Chung, 1978.
  • Killer Constable (萬人斬) - Kuei Chih-Hung, 1980.
  • Buddha’s Palm (如來神掌) - Taylor Wong Tai-Loi, 1982.
  • Bastard Swordsman (天蠶變) - Lu Chin-Ku, 1983.
What's notable about this volume is that we have two films license rescued for the UK, because both One-Armed Swordsman and Killer Constable were previously released by 88 Films. 88's bonus features did not carry over (which makes sense because no one would want to touch Bey Logan commentaries these days) but Arrow's include new restorations and in the latter's case an additional version with 30+ mins of footage not seen previously.

Starting to think I have super serious OCD!
Not having the 3 Jet Li 4Ks next to each other looks wrong 😂 easily justified by arranging alphabetically never included the 'the' so Tai comes before To 😎
That said I arrange my Arrow releases alphabetically but my 88 & Eureka ones by year of release.... I have a problem, I admit this.

Ah good spot I just noticed that misplacement ohoho.
 
Not bad, posted from America 12/12/24 and received today.

The booklet has a rather naughty short story telling what happened the evening after the last episode.

My first Anime Steelbook

Your first Anime Steelbook? Well, hopefully not your last! I never had a desire to collect steelbooks for live action movies, but decided to start a collection of anime steels and began with a few UK anime in steelcases I purchased back in 2016. I probably have right around 100 anime steelbooks in my collection now, maybe a few more, but I've never actually taken an inventory of just anime steelbooks to know the exact count. That might be a good "shut in the house for winter" project, lol.

A bit of luck rather than desire for a Steelbook.
I've seen Vermeil in Gold but didn't own the Blu-ray. Then I saw this advertised and on wowhd for £50. I thought that a very acceptable price so I went for it.
I don't usually go for any special, limited or collectors editions. They're not worth the money.
