What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

A number of items purchased over the Black Friday sale period, just before the Anime Limited Christmas sale got going!

So, first off, I decided to pick up My Hero Academia physically, as the first three seasons were a very good price on Rarewaves - I picked up up to season five from Rarewaves, and nabbed the triple film set from Amazon on a BF deal.

I'll probably pick up the remaining seasons and the other film when they go on sale next year at some point. Also, I absolutely love the bundled season and film sets as they contain individual amaray cases and covers! Which seems to be becoming rarer nowadays in these types of sets.

Next, like a number of others here, I picked up the Perfect Blue 4K deluxe set from Anime Limited. Not much to be said about this film, just that it was an instant pre-order for me.

I only owned the standard Blu-ray before, so this is a nice upgrade. I'll probably trade in my standard Blu copy as it's the same disc in this set.

I also picked up the Time of Eve Complete collection from Amazon for ~£12!

Decided to bite the bullet and finish my collection of Hirokazu Koreeda's feature films (thus far) and pick up Distance and Hana from Amazon JP.

Prepare for imminent announcements of these films from European labels now that I've bought these!

And lastly, how many times can they make you buy Yakuza? A few times, apparently. Yes, I got the Yakuza 20th Anniversary Edition from The Game Collection, with the help of some store credit points.

Sad that us physical owners have been screwed over by SEGA (again) for allowing upgrades only for digital owners of the PS4 versions, but it is what it is. Nice steel book at least though.

Today is a good day: it is not often one receives a new(ish) copy of an old favourite. I skipped the UK release in the past, as I own the R1 ver. A friend directed me to a review (by a user that still posts on here/codename 'The Turbanator', iirc: @Just Passing Through?) that highlighted the PAL ver is higher res and with less juddering etc. CeX had one copy. And they even sent it to me in a box instead of a jiffy; possibly in a festive mood. Wonders never cease.

Anyway, took a few photos this morn. This will almost definitely be the last time I post in this thread. Thus, farewell once, and possibly forever more. Godspeed~

...oh, and since I'm much too lazy to post day-to-day stuffies, here's a pic of what I received in the last few weeks (black friday etc.) Aside from Cyberpunk/if order any AL xmas tat, that will be that for the year, and a fair bit beyond.

Got rid my my mess of AoT boxes to CeX, opting for space saving steelbooks. Also got rid of my Manga Hosada films for steelbooks, too.
Disappointing that the discotek sets are bricks, without sleeves. Unless NHK, brick sets can sod off.

I was very disappointed that Chaika Season 1 was not included in the general sale.
