2023 HAUL VER 11.5
(note: images are hosted via AUKN for the meantime)
Another batch this time only on two days of the week.
The latest 88 Films releases arrived last Thursday, and they were part of the November line-up. I ordered these at the last second due to delays that had affected one of them but as soon as I saw the distributor posting photos of the stock I finally got them ordered. Here we have Wong Jing's
Last Hero in China (黃飛鴻之鐵雞鬥蜈蚣) and Johnny Mak & Michael Mak's
The Long Arm of the Law Saga I & II (省港旗兵 & 省港旗兵續集), the latter of which is part of their deluxe collector's edition range which includes a booklet and poster. They have been using the thin Blu-ray cases for their recent releases and it's good to see booklets still fit in these.
88 Films have said they will look into
The Long Arm of the Law Saga III & IV if the sales are good for the first two films which is neat to see.
If you have been following my hauls since around August time, I had been picking up a whole bunch of Limited Run Games because Canadian retailer VideoGamesPlus started a partnership with them which includes stocking their titles. And since then they were able to receive stock for a whole bunch of OOP titles and I got almost all of the Nintendo Switch LRG titles I was interested in that were available (with
House of Fata Morgana and
Turok 1 & 2 being the only ones).
In this batch we have two more from their catalogue and they have been available since a while back but when I took a look at their store I did notice that one of them was going to sell out so I decided to take action and get them sooner than later. So here we have
Demon's Tilt, which is not one of their numbered titles, and
River City Girls Zero, which is a numbered title and the one that I was worried about missing out on.
Also arriving today is
My Dress-Up Darling Season 1 from Crunchyroll. For some reason they decided not to bring the limited edition over to the UK and since this is one of the most popular series in recent years I decided to get this ordered sooner than later.
However, I didn't pre-order this release from Rightstuf as I wasn't sure what else to include with it due to the partial shipping that they do, so recently like last week I decided to go for the riskly approach which is using Amazon UK and their Global shipping service that makes use of Amazon US. It was pretty much full price (though it has VAT included and shipping is free) but it arrived today in a blue bubble-mailer and miraculously no damage other than some marks on the inside pages of the booklet.
