Five of my SS packages and an eBay parcel.
The eBay parcel held Sanctuary 1-2: 2/9 of the 'best manga ever'. The volumes are long out of print, so it was too tempting not to go in for the books.
As for my SS parcels, starting with the smallest...
Parcel 1:
Moonlight Mile Collection
Figure 17: 1-2
Everything is mint. Someone obviously picked up the MM set new, didn't like it and sold it straight away; which is what I assumed before ordering it.
Parcel 2:
Shootfighter Tekken Collection
Kurogane Communication Collection
The Kurogane brick is as new. The only issue is that the first disc picked up a few scratches due to it coming loose en route to me.
The thin Shootfighter set is old looking and a little beaten up. The corners are dented, there's some yellowing and it's kind of... dirty. Going on the cases all having the seals (cut) on the top and bottom of the cases, it was picked up new and just not looked after very well. But, tbh, I expected it to be in used condition; it being quite old and all, and aside from a few scratches to the second disc the contents are mint.
SS aren't in the business of just selling perfect second-hand goods, after all!
Parcel 3:
Maetel Legend
If I See You In My Dreams OVA
Ys II
Ah My Goddess: 2-5
NHK 3
Everything is mint/as new. I now have 1-4 of NHK and a R1 AMG 2 collection; every case being white.
Parcel 4:
Cosmo Warrior Zero 1
Ping Pong Club 1
Giant Robo: 1-3
Innocent Venus: 1-3 + art box
Outside of Giant Robo 3 having some scratches/slight rips on the case plastic, everything is mint. If not for a slight imperfection on the Venus art box, it'd pass for new.
Parcel 5:
Kurau 1-5 + art box
Texhnolyze 1 + art box
The Texhnolyze art box is perfect, and is one of the nicest looking art boxes I've seen. It makes owning the series seem better.
The Kurau art box is pretty much mint; only some very slight knocks stopping me classing it as new. All five volumes are mint, and all five come with booklets.
----
I now wish I'd gone for the Witchblade DVDs. It was a tad expensive for a random purchase, and I hadn't had much look with getting mint art boxes from SS previously.
In short, Fabriluna is a massive ******* ****. He'll only go onto 6/10 it since I rated it highly...
