Hey look its some October stuff actually listed IN October! Wow, wonders never cease. Lame humor aside however, this is really just a quick update while I wait for the main shipment of goodies.

This latest addition is the Ikki Tousen PSP game “Eloquent Fist”. This of course being the Limited Edition version, which comes in a box and includes three postcard type cards, a 2008-2009 calendar (only Hakufu though, sucks to be me) and a figure with Hakufu and Goei in a bowl/cup plus booklet. Oh and it also comes with a PSP game. As I don’t have a PSP, I have no way of playing it, but that’s not really the point is it?

Next up should be more eBay listings, but not for a few days.

Enjoy!!

Better late than never I guess. This update could be more 11th hour but not by much. But there are a couple of cool things this month that make it worth the wait. Before anyone asks, yes I did get two copies of Ikki Tousen Great Guardians Volume 1. I mean come on, how could I NOT get them. They look so good in the shrine.

So on with the Ikki Tousen goodness. First up we have a shot of all the coolness that came with volume 1 (First Press) of Great Guardians. I may even watch the series someday. According to the listings, all volumes First Press bonus includes a poster similar to this one. I still have all the Dragon Destiny posters as well so someday I really need to get them all framed, maybe 3 per frame, and hang them at the office. On my last day of course. Also in the Ikki Tousen category this month is the Best Song Collection CD and DVD set. I haven’t played this completely yet, but from what I can tell it’s pretty cool.

Also this month is volume 2 of Macross Frontier on Blu-ray. I was somewhat unimpressed with the “pin” set that came with the FP of this volume. They are more like buttons then metal pins. Oh well. I had planned on dropping this series after this volume anyway since there are no subtitles and nothing else to say “buy me”. I do plan on picking up volume 5 however as it comes with a box. A BOX!?! Why not buy three then? Just kidding though. On this one that is.

Topping things off this month is the wonderful world of print. But wait, didn’t I say just a month or so ago that I was dropping Megami? Yeah, well there was another volume of Megami Deluxe out and they had all the recent issues up to current at the time, so I just said what the heck. Here is a quick shot of some of the posters and other inserts that came with the various issues in this round. I haven’t been to Kinokuniya since.

That’s all for this one. I may have another update soon if all goes well.

Enjoy!!

Since it had been almost three years since I had updated these images I thought it was about time. I have updated the “New Media Loft” section of the DVD Collection Visual History. I tried to get basically the same shots and angles from the previous round. Since none of the structure changed, I have just updated the existing links with the new shots. Older versions can still be accessed here if anyone cares.

A note about the “Anime Themes Shelves section”. This really doesn’t exist in the same way, but I left this one picture up just for historical reference. You can see what is in the same location by looking at the other shots.  The figure case on the end is new. You can see more of this in the figures section of the photo gallery.

Enjoy!!
