My Bleach pre-orders came in from Anime Limited. Annoyingly, Naruto set 1 is lagging a bit behind according to my tracking; I was quite looking forward to checking out the upscale today, but I suppose that will have to wait until tomorrow (fingers crossed). Important to note that these all arrived enclosed with plenty of bubble-wrap too!

Bleach Collectors Edition Set 1. First impressions, I'm not overly sold on the design for the collector's box for the original Bleach series personally. Just seems a bit "plain" to me; there's nothing of note on the spine other than the word "BLEACH" and "01-05" to denote the sets on a white background. I know sometimes they are limited in terms of the designs the licensors allow them to create, but I feel there was definitely some room for a bit more creativity (especially on the spine) from whoever gives them the green light.




The artbook is pretty thick as you would expect for 220-pages, but I was hoping there was a small chance it would have been a hardback going by the mock ups; it is a paperback. The Blu-ray includes a sleeve and the discs are held in a standard amaray case.



I think these are the exclusive art-card things that are included in the first print run only? They're about the size of a credit card, so unless you really want to see Rukia every time you open your wallet, not sure what these are for!



Next, Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War Collectors Edition: Part 1. Much, much better and cleaner design on this. Although, I'm pretty sure AL have had to use the artwork from the VIZ release.



Interestingly, the amaray case is clear, and does not have the "Blu-ray disc" logo on top; which looks a lot better in my opinion. I have a few Blu-rays housed in this style amaray case, and I wish it was the standard.

My Bleach and Naruto sets arrived today from ATA - both had similar damage to the corners so will have to send them back unless ATA has some spare outer boxes. Despite the damage these look very nice in person!

Another for bleach. although still unsure on my plan with already owning the US set, I was just tempted by the storage box and art book.

Slip cover spine seems similar enough (shame they don't have the shiny title like the US set but i didn't expect it too have)

SxS Gens finally arrived, can't wait to start it though!

Sonic x Shadow Generations (PS5)

Naruto Collector's Set 1 arrived this morning.

Not the biggest fan of the outer box design, but the actual CE box inside is quite well done in my opinion; I'm not sure the outer box was needed in all honesty. I think the 4 CE spines will look a lot nicer together compared to having the big box on the shelf.

This bigg heccin' lovely wardrobe was delivered yesterday, I look forward to filling it with clothes when I've put it where I want it to go, currently it's in my living room while I sort out the rest of my flat (lots of stuff to move around, bookcases to unbolt from walls and rebolt to walls in different positions, need some old furniture removed, etc.!)

Well that’s my budget for about the next month blown all at once. Good investment? Bad investment? Will I ever be able to find the other volumes? Will I even want to? Who can say? I grabbed the nicely priced £6 ones from the “K” section first and then started to notice them all over the place, someone obviously decided to liquidate their collection. Well, in for a penny, in for a pound. Most of them seem to be OOP and have considerably higher asking prices online.

Best of luck finding Neko Black!
