2024 HAUL - APRIL CHAPTER: BATCH #2
Another batch of packages and an upgrade for the collection.
Since the start of the year I had noticed that my PlayStation 5 DualSense controller was experiencing drifting issues, which was annoying. While I did manage to temporarily resolve it, it came back in full force during my playthrough of Final Fantasy VIII and it made the experience really dreadful.
So I decided to get a new controller, and went with the Cyan colour which looks cool.
Next we have another MVM Entertainment release, once again thanks to their Deal of the Week offer. It looks like MVM is going through their Gonzo Blu-ray upgrade titles in the offer, so this was a great opportunity for me to finally get a hold of Samurai 7 and its collector's edition Blu-ray release. Similar to Burst Angel, MVM re-used the artwork from the old Funimation releases which I'm perfectly fine with. You can view more photos & specs on my blog.
I have Trinity Blood ordered so expect that to appear in the coming days, and hopefully they round it off with Witchblade.
Yesterday I went to town before watching Civil War at my local IMAX Cineworld. While I didn't find much of interest, I did decide to pick up some more Blue Exorcist manga volumes because this series has been out of stock constantly over the years (more specifically its first half of the current volumes available). Here we have Volumes 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13, as they did not have Volume 8 available in the store.
These are the Italian prints much like my copies for Volumes 5 & 6 but it's between that or none at all.
Next we have an update to my collection. This morning IKEA delivered my new Billy Bookcase shelves in white colour format as they were the only ones available online for order. It was also on offer which was handy and while I was concerned about the price and condition, it actually looks really good after setting everything up.
So the goal here was to finally replace the old bookshelf placed on the corner of my room covering the games. This was the same shelf that was initially used for the light novels and manga but it was never supposed to be a long-term solution. It just took many months longer than I had wanted and now was finally the opportunity to get it out of the way.
There was enough room to have both a main shelf and a half-shelf. You can see a comparison above. There will be stacking involved (i.e. a game in front of a game) which I'm fine with.

A Scene at the Sea and Memories of Matsuko were second-hand pick ups from eBay and CEX respectively.
Hal was a bit of an impulse as it was the same seller and the price was good. Just two more things to arrive from the US now and that’s me good for a while.
