Doing this in bulk can be a drag

Prepare to be shocked (man, that felt incredibly lame), for Nemmy has finally got some new toys in addition to the increasing slew of DVDs he's been getting!

Like before, this'll be a review of the week's purchases in a single post (the main reason for this is cos I got distracted with VNs such as Wind, Muv-Luv and the just released KIRA☆KIRA Curtain Call).


Entry number one is the Outlaw Complete Collection I got from spun_cds_dvds on Monday.

Like I said when I got the Cowboy Bebop movie, this was one of the real highlights on CNX for me.

In actual fact I preferred Outlaw Star over Cowboy Bebop at that time, don't know if that still holds true now though (it has been a long time since I last watched them).


Entry number two arrived on Thursday from Kapow Toys, supermart_usa and all your music.

• WST Robots Communication Liaison
• KM-01 Knight Morpher Commander
• WST Robots Military Operations Commander
• Lucky Star Complete Collection
• Lucky Star OVA
  

Lucky Star I got simply because its Lucky Star, and seeing as it was available for a rather decent price helped in my decision (although the lack of an English dub on the OVA is kinda strange when the series itself had one).

The WST Blaster and Shockwave (it's easier to call them that) are nice toys for their size, but I fear they're a tad too fragile for repeated transforming.

Hell, I almost broke one of Blaster's handle pieces because the damn black bit wouldn't slide over as it should (that piece now has a bloody stress mark on it!).

As for the Knight Morpher Commander (a.k.a. Hearts of Steel Optimus Prime), I'd say its a bloody impressive piece of work.

My only real concern with it however are the arms. Seriously, the sounds I heard from those joints really scared the shit out of me (no toy should ever make a sound like that!).


Entry number three came from HMV.com on Friday.

If this looks familiar, then you'd be correct as this is simply the 2-Disc Collection's Edition of the Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone DVD I received last week.

I didn't even know there was bloody two disc version out there until AFTER I damn well bought the fucking single disc release (I'll be sure not to repeat this mistake again).


Entry number four which I received yesterday from supermartusa was the Kite and Mezzo Forte double-disc set.

This is the uncut release, so you probably know what that entails. If not, you might actually be better off not knowing...

Some old classics on shiny new discs

Yeah, Nemmy got lazy in doing this again.

But to be fair I was playing the Tsumihoroboshi Chapter of Higurashi no Naku Koro Kai that was released by MangaGamer (not to mention getting the partial patch for Muv-Luv as well).


Anyway, Nemmy got some more DVDs (sorry, no toys again) this week, and the first one which I received on Monday from supermart_usa was Cowboy Bebop Remix Complete Collection (and it was much cheaper its UK released counterpart!).


On Thursday from HMV.com I received the 5 Disc Movie Collection of Street Fighter.

I know I already have the Street Fighter II movie, but the set was listed for a tenner and too good to ignore (even though the Street Fighter Alpha movies aren't all that great in all honesty).


Yesterday from liza0025 I got Ulysses 31 The Complete Series.

What more can I say about Ulysses 31? Its an old classic I used to watch on Channel 4 oh so many years ago.


And today from Play.com, Nemmy got his paws on Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone two days before its official release date!

Crying Devils and Space Cowboys

Man, the DVDs just keep on coming!


Anyway, today from pridestuff and Amazon.co.uk I received.

• Devil May Cry The Animated Series The Complete Series
• Cowboy Bebop The Movie
  

Now I'd be the first to admit that Devil May Cry wasn't an adaptation without its flaws (and boy, it had them alright), but even someone as picky as me is hard-pressed to say no when the chance of owning the entire series for £5.76 comes knocking (seriously, would anyone honestly say no to it at that price?).

The movie of Cowboy Bebop on the other hand; well, that's another story cos the last time Nemmy watched anything Cowboy Bebop related was when CNX were broadcasting the series along with the likes of Outlaw Star and Dragon Ball GT.

I know I can get the series on DVD if I wanted, but not for the price I've seen it listed in the UK.

I'm sorry, even though I adore anime like crazy, I'm not paying a small fucking fortune for it.

So for now, the movie (which I haven't seen yet) will be all I'm getting at this time (as far as the UK release goes anyway, cos who knows? I might think about importing it from elsewhere at a much cheaper price).
