September 2008 new items
TheCapt1701 | October 31, 2008Better 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 meâ€. 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!!

Rob, If you are asking about the DVDs, those are first press items released with the Japanese DVDs. I got mine via CDJapan:

They are pretty much out of print now however. That said you may want to look over at Yahoo!Japan auctions and see if you could score them used. Japanese “used” is almost like US “new”, so if they have pics up you can see what you are going to get. You will probably need to use a proxy service though. I use Rinkya.

They are a bit more expensive then others, but the service is better too.
Hope that helps.
Enjoy!!
