What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

Some pick-ups from the last few days.

During one of my office days, I went and picked up the 4K of Zodiac from HMV. I was going to import the US version, but funnily enough when I went to search for it online, details of the UK/EU release appeared as it being released that day, so I thought I'd just get that instead.

I also got Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (PS5) from The Game Collection's 20th birthday sale. One we waited out for the price to drop.

Then one I had been waiting a while for (because it was Rarewaves 🐌) arrived today: V-Cinema Essentials: Bullets & Betrayal Limited Edition. This was on a nice deal, so I plumped for it.

I received this Arrow Video Limited Edition set today via CeX. I had some vouchers so decided to take a punt as this is OOP now - it arrived in very good condition and was well-packaged by CeX to boot.
 
I received this one from an eBay seller on Monday, 7/14:

Queen's Blade: Beautiful Warriors OVA

A lot of really cute lingerie (pants and bras) from Shein. The Care Bears bra is surprisingly supportive, I sometimes hear it saying "go girl, you got this!" :p

I also got a lovely illustrated book from Amazon to get free before 1pm delivery on an order (I'd wanted the book for a long time anyway), and bought this delightful selection of Halloween decorations from Homesense... the ghost has a hat and bag! 🥰

I have now fully set up my new phone (the phone in the photo is my old one lol) and I'm very happy with it (I can FINALLY use Whatsapp!), I have got a nano sim and transferred over all my contacts manually (I do still need to make a phone call with it to make sure that works, I think I'll phone my mum today as I'd like to talk to her anyway), however I am sad to report that one of my Sanrio speakers is currently failing to pair with my laptop this morning, I will try pairing it with one of my smart devices and switch off my laptop and turn it back on after a rest to see if those things solve the problem or at least help me figure out if the issue is with the speaker or the laptop :)

Update on speaker issues: It works fine, was just pairing with my new phone bcuz that was the last thing I used with it when I'd set up Spotify Premium last night, it's now paired with my laptop again XP :) :D

I love Ralph Bakshi animations and American Pop is one of my favourites, it was a bit pricey but well worth it. I was wandering around HMV and decided to pick up Virgin Suicides, I have been a fan of Sofia Coppela ever since I first saw Lost in Translation (one of my absolute favourite movies!) I also grabbed Decision to Leave and Your Lovely Smile at the same time. 45 years is an upgrade from my DVD version and Sea of Stars is a game I have wanted for a while so I finally picked it up.1000020507.jpg
 
From  CeX.

Link's Crossbow Training (Wii) and Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games (Wii U)

Went into CeX today before I went to the opticians and picked up a couple of games. Link's Crossbow Training was a re-buy for the Wii collection (only cost me £1.00) and Mario & Sonic 2014 was the last Sonic game I needed for the Wii U portion of the Sonic collection so I'm glad to have one system down.

EDIT: I actually have three systems complete for the Sonic collection including the Wii U, the others being the PS4 and PS5 (until Crossworlds releases anyway).

From Sentai Filmworks Store.

Beyond the Boundary (Series + Movies), Lupin Zero,  NANA, Teasing Master Takagi-san (S3 + Movie) and Tsurune the Movie: The First Shot

1000016541.jpg

Double-post, I wasn't expecting this to arrive today, this is my Sentai summer sale haul though.

I used to own the Animatsu release of Beyond the Boundary but it didn't include the OVA plus I never owned the movies so this is a great all-in-one package.

Lupin Zero I felt AL would release at some point and maybe they will eventually but I've waited long enough to own this series and it has been a while since I've bought any Lupin (I really need to do a Discotek Lupin haul at some point soon).

NANA I'm really looking forward to and is the highlight of this order I'd say.

I'm glad to have Takagi-san S3 and the movie to go with the S1 blu-ray I got recently. Hopefully S2 can eventually be released on home video. I've seen all three seasons though not yet the movie. I'll probably do a re-watch though before jumping into the movie.

Tsurune is just a S1 compilation movie and I'm not really going out of my way for compilation movies unless they stand out (e.g. Assassination Classroom) but as it's a KyoAni series I'll make an exception as I'd like a complete KyoAni collection as they're my favourite studio. Tsurune is a series I'm yet to watch but I own all of it now with this.
