    Eagerly awaiting:
    Gundam Unicorn Episode 6 (Blu-Ray in April 2013).

    Shipping (soon enough):
    Shitload of old Gundam F91 1/100 model kits.
    Bunch of books and magazines of a Gundam-nature.

    Bought this year:
    The entire Aura Battler Dunbine (original series) ADV set.
    The entire Armored Trooper VOTOMS U.S. release set from the long-dead Central Park Media.
    Standard edition Captain Harlock (6-disc, 42 episode first TV series and movie) set; this was expensive as fuck.
    The FUNimation re-release of the Trigun TV series.
    Both seasons of The Big O.
    The entirety of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex/2nd GiG/Solid State Society.
    Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt.
    FUNimation's Excel Saga re-release (backup for the old ADV set if something goes wrong).
    Mobile Suit Gundam's Anime Legends release (Vol. 1 and 2).
    Gundam Unicorn Episode 5 (Blu-Ray).
    Metric fucktons of Gunpla; paint, glues, sandpaper, etc. to go along with them.
    The long out-of-print MS Era 0099; was worth the trouble, still in the original packaging.

    What the Gundamfags didn't fucking get back in March because of Bandai Ent. shutting down:


    So, basicly this:

    I don't even remember all that I got, but I'll try.

    Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
    Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Second Gig
    Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society
    The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya season 2 (Yes endless 8 was shit, but the other stuff was decent.)
    Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt complete series
    Somedays Dreamers II complete series
    Ungo complete series
    Steins;Gate complete series
    Hellsing Ultimate 4-8

    I know there's more stuff, but I can't remember if it was the end of last year or this year. I'm getting old and the years are starting to blur together.

    When it comes to certain things it's just shutupandtakemymoney.jpg

    Is it the same size as the DVD set from the side? And that released much earlier than I expected.

    I don't have the DVD set to compare it to. Its two Blu Rays in two separate cases, each about normal Blu Ray size. I'm surprised I got it so early too, the release date wasn't until mid January and it ended up shipping a few days ago.

    It is shorter and narrower than the DVD set.
    Because blu-ray cases are both shorter than narrower than DVD cases.

    Was curious if they made it the same size as the DVD set is all.

    Been meaning to post this but was busy with christmas/new years shenanigans. I bought a couple of things if we count the entire year, but my most recent and imo bestest purchase was this:

    They didn't
    It's a pretty neat outer sleeve though, the glitter bits are embossed, including the spine and the reverse design with Stocking on it.

    Unless you really want a box covered in glitter I'd probably just stick with the DVD.

    Stick with the DVD. Despite being a recent show it doesn't look substantially better on blu-ray. Either Funi fucked up the transfer or Ganiax's dissolution prevented them from mastering the show properly to look sharper on 1080p displays. The Lain blu-ray, by contrast, blows it out of the water in terms of contrast and sharpness, despite being a much, much older show (DNR weirdness notwithstanding).

    Not 100% on-topic, but buyfag is an actual commonly used word? Had that thrown at me some time ago and was a little surprised.

    @meeeeeep: Is this the rerelase from November or a used one? If the former, then it took long to get to you. O_o

    It came completely new, I bought it from a british supplier since I still don't feel comfortable buying from Japan yet.
