Re: What Have You Just Ordered or Received?
Miraculously I did receive the Zatoichi set from B&N (heard some other had had their orders cancelled).
Though quite and adventure it must have been. The box was 6 weeks on its way, had both US and France postal stamps on it, and arrived in such a condition that the Japanese post had attached a written apology and assured it was like that when they recieved it. Obviously someone's been playing football with it.
Zatoichi himself was in one piece, though slightly bruised.
(the picture does no justice to the damage that extends to all sides of the package, bottom included)

Re: What Have You Just Ordered or Received?
Been there.... although jacked up packaging and cracked boxes I can handle, my biggest fear is the rattlers. That feeling when you get a stack of dvds, and you hear that oh so familiar rattling coming from inside the package, and you just picture what the disc looks like, as you slowly and reluctantly open to check it.....

Re: What Have You Just Ordered or Received?
I can't believe you don't already own those two.Are you rebuying them because they are steelbooks? i'm not criticising,it's your cash but i think i'd be buying stuff i haven't got rather than the same disc in different packaging.grim_tales wrote:Recieved: Toy Story (Steelbook)

Re: What Have You Just Ordered or Received?
Fair point I admit I was rebuying those because they're steelbooks and looked nice I didnt have Fantasia though.

Not a fan of the artwork for Spring Breakers, considered French BD for a moment, but the US one is going much cheaper and I couldn't confirm the French one doesn't have forced subs.
