What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

A few things have arrived this morning. The games I got from The Game Collection with their 2 for £15.00 offer as well as using a 10% discount code from a survey I filled out from them the other week on top of that.

Dragon Quest Heroes II (PS4), Street Fighter V: Champion Edition (PS4) and Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit (BD)

I took a gamble on a sale and order some things from suruga-ya, a Japanese chain store that had a free international shipping deal until June 6th Japan Time. The store processes used goods and the website is machine translated into English so it is a little awkward but still useable. Ordered my items on Thursday and they arrived in the UK on Monday so shipping is fast.

I got a few things for my Trigun Collection from the Yasuhiro Nightow Exhibition that celebrated the 25th anniversary of his storied career. First is 2 postcards of the Trigun manga and the commemorative art book collecting pieces from all of Nightow's franchises; Trigun, Gungrave and Blood Blockade Battlefront. Not as extensive as I would have hoped but still a solid piece that has multiple illustrations I have never seen before so it was worth getting. On top of that I got Trigun Volume 9 and 6 of laser disc. Because it is an interesting bit of history, they will look good on display and they were as cheaper than buying a poster. So I will look forward using suruga-ya again at some point.

You can also buy the original Anime Limited collector's edition of Cowboy Bebop on suruga-ya for £27. Which means someone in Japan brought it and then decided to part with it.

Double-post for today as I didn't know this was going to arrive today while I was at work this evening.

Despite not having yet played the games I used to love this movie when I was younger as my younger brother had it on DVD (he was big into the series).

This special edition of sorts was around the same price as the standard blu-ray on ebay so decided I might as well go for it. It's all cardboard so it's a little worn but nothing terrible.

Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva (BD / DVD)

Thanks @Otomo for the photos. Interesting to see the Multi-language title handled this way. I wonder if they decided to replace the amaray front cover instead because there was no unique artwork between the slipcase artwork and the case artwork.

Later this month we'll see the appearance of multi-Language French only titles (i.e. ones without German audio/subs) so I'm intrigued to see how that's handled.
 
Finally completed 90s Sailor Moon once again, but on Blu-Ray.
These Viz sets, while not flawless gave the series the justice that it deserves.

I can officially retire my Madman DVDs for good.
They served me well, but being on Blu-Ray in general as having a ton of extra features makes the sets feel more complete in my eyes, compared to the Madman Blu-Ray and DVD sets.

Thank you Viz Media for releasing these lovely and I hope someday AL will do a Sailor Moon UK home video revival using these sets video masters and producing nice looking CE sets for each season and movie.

I received another Blu-ray from a friend on the blu-ray.com anime forum today:
