What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

A pretty big arrival today in the form of the CCS Toys Moral Mind Gunbuster. This thing is seriouly heavy so I'm pretty sure the entire interior frame is die-cast metal. The LEDs are gorgeous (present in the head, chest, shoulder pylons, and baseball bat) and it comes with a ton of accessories, most of which I haven't messed around with yet. Pics below are how I have it currently posed.

Also had this Ultraman Blazar blu-ray (Region A) arrive, which I won a bid for at a pretty nice price.

I really liked Horimiya so I upgraded to the collectors edition, Lucky Star came up in a store I use for a pretty reasonable price so I finally picked it up. Hanasaku Iroha is the current MvM deal of the week and I upgraded from my DVD copy of Our Little Sister.

I have a pretty big haul of Blu-ray's coming soon as Amazon have a really great offer on some World Cinema titles I have wanted to pick up 🙂

Awww lucky, been after lucky star for an age!!
 
I recently upgraded a few anime blurays from the standard editions to the collectors editions so I traded on the standard ones at my local media store for these.

Metropolis 1927 is one of my favourite movies and I really like the anime remake, I already own the standard editions but these steelbooks were too good of a deal to pass up. I knew next to nothing about Emma a Victorian Romance but these collectors editions were only £4.50 each so it was well worth taking a chance on them. The Princess Jellyfish collectors edition is an upgrade from the standard edition and although the reviews of The Cruel King and the Great Hero are pretty average I was intrigued by the art style and it didn't cost me anything so I decided to give it a chance.

A couple of non-anime items today: I have been waiting a very long time for a good price on The Vampire Diaries: Complete Series (don't judge me, just take me back to when vampires and werewolves were the 'in' thing!), and it finally went down to a decent price on Amazon. I also picked up Tokyo Vice: Season 2 from Planet of Entertainment; a shame the show didn't get renewed for a third season.

And of course, another one for Bleach Part 3 from the alltheanime store.

EDIT: somehow I missed this in my letter catcher this morning. Almost forgot I had ordered MVM's DOTW last week: Hanasaku Iroha

No judging, currently watchin legacies, have watched vampire diaries and originals
 
Couple of arrivals today. First, The Good, The Bad, The Weird feels like my first Arrow pickup in a while. As someone who mostly only collects Asian cinema from the various boutiques, something Arrow don't seem to have put that much out of as of late (though I did get their J-Horror and Tomie sets relatively recently), this is good for my wallet since Eureka and 88 put out so much.

Second, AL's Twin Star Exorcists boxset. Considered picking this up during their Christmas sale, but I had already bought so much (and a couple of them ended up selling out), so I grabbed a set from eBay for what would've been around the same price as AL were selling the 4 sets individually for.

My next to last jpbd purchase-top row-Macross Frontier tv and the 2 movies, Bottom row Macross Delta.

Japanese Macross releases are in such a weird place right now. Delta has English subs, but the Frontier TV series doesn't, even in the set released after Delta. There's one early release of the Frontier movies that have subtitles, but later releases removed them. Meanwhile Do You Remember Love is finally getting a subtitled release this month. There's no consistency.
 
I have the set of the Frontier movies with subtitles as for the tv series I'll simply remux them with subs. Having said that the Delta tv series and movies have subs I'm not happy with them as they use a thin font with a thin black outline and are white and are damn near impossible to read which makes them rather useless. Here's an example of how I do my subtitles from my release of Tanya The Evil Movie-much easier to read with no eye strain.
