August Haul - Batch #04
Starting off today with
Emma: A Victorian Romance Season 2 collector's edition Blu-ray from Anime Limited. Like the first season, this set has that nice texture to the box and the booklet has some good content. You can view more photos & specs
on my blog.
Today I went to town to watch Jordan Peele's NOPE in IMAX (and yes it's really good and you should watch it), but before that I went to town (to save on fuel costs hence why I do a shop and film watch together at the same time).
Starting off the haul is a trip to HMV where they had a whole bunch of Shaw Brothers releases with their slipcases, and because they had copies of
The Chinese Boxer (龍虎鬪) I picked it up alongside three others with
The Flag of Iron (鐵旗門),
Legendary Weapons of China (十八般武藝), and
Monkey Kung Fu (出籠馬騮).
They didn't have
Disciples of Shaolin, so I ordered it online (and hopefully I get the slipcase as well), which leaves me with
Shaolin Mantis,
Hero,
Human Lanterns,
Martial Club and
Flying Guillotine Part II. I do plan to get 88's previous batch before their redesigned spine layout (
Come Drink With Me,
The Eight Diagram Pole Fighter,
Clan of the White Lotus) but I won't be getting the older releases as most are hard to find at this point and Arrow may include them in future ShawScope box sets like they did with
The Mighty Peking Man.
Also visited the Travelling Man store and picked up another batch of Viz Media manga, though my luck this time wasn't great as they discounted the cheaper ones in the deal so I ended up spending more than I wanted, but the titles picked were good though.
First up, we have
Alice in Borderland Volume 2 and
Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai Volumes 2 & 3. Two more to continue the on-going releases Viz have started putting out.
Next we have a very popular series that has kept going out of stock.
Goodnight Punpun Volumes 1, 2 & 3 are now in my collection, and they did have all 7 but I couldn't afford to get all of them at once (and there's not much space in my bag for them either).
And to round the haul off, we have
Mashle: Magic and Muscles Volumes 5, 6 & 7. Both Dai Vol. 3 and Mashle Vol. 7 are not out yet in the UK so Travelling Man must have just gotten the stock in recently.
