I ended up having to get it from Arrow for £42 (including P+P). I assume free P+P in UK is for orders of £50+.

Depends on how you define it, but these are box sets or collections in a single release:

Ishii Collection
Toyoda: Early Years
Toyoda: 2005-2021
Obayashi: Anti-War Trilogy
Obayashi: 80's Kadokawa Years
Funky Forest/Warped Forest
One Cut of the Dead - both the original limited edition and the Hollywood edition have a different supporting OCOTD spin off movie
Tetsuo Iron Man/Body Hammer/Adventures of Denchu Kozo
Animerama - 1001 Nights/Cleopatra
Tsukamoto - Killing/Haze/Adventures of Denchu Kozo
The Wonderful World of Ujicha
New Directors from Japan (I forget if this is 4 or 5 short/mid length films)
The Whispering Star also has a reversible sleeve with The Sion Sono documentary
And there are 3 volumes of the Pink Films collections

Ruined Heart and The Legend of the Stardust Brothers also have limited edition versions with the soundtrack CD

I think that covers everything on blu-ray.

The OOP LE of Legend of the Stardust Brothers appears to be in stock at HMV: https://hmv.com/store/film-tv/blu-ra...rdust-brothers

Can be had for £15.99 if you have a 20% code.

Now discontinued and no longer listed on the site. Still have a few copies in Covent Garden, maybe other stores too. Also of note in our store; a few Tsukamoto three-film sets, Top Knot with a slip, and two copies of the Stardust Brothers 3 disc LE.

How much is the Kadokawa Years set in Fopp?

HMV have marked the Anti-War Trilogy as discontinued - I wonder if my order will be fulfilled? Gone from most retailers, although Rarewaves, Deff and Terracotta still have stock.

Edit: Decided to play safe and bag a copy from the Arrow sale while I still can!

I noticed that too, soon after I ordered it from HMV. I ordered a copy from Amazon when it was the same price just to be safe. Of course it arrived squashed so I have a replacement on the way.

Most of my Third Window order from HMV has dispatched, mostly separately and been received. According to the tracking they came from various parts of the country. My Toyoda 2005-2021 set wasn't sealed, one had a security tag on the back and another had remains of a sticker that had been removed. None had the usual HMV order sticker on them. Are these been fulfilled by individual stores?

As well as the Anti-War set I'm waiting for 2 single titles Funuke and Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes. I'm debating to just get them from Amazon now.

[Sifox211]

I suspect that if I do get the trilogy from HMV it will be store returned stock. I'll cancel the order as soon as my Arrow one ships, but if anyone here wants it for cost plus postage PM me soon and I'll leave it.

I thought they might have sold out of this which is why I ended up getting it from Arrow. Would have got it from Fopp instead if I'd had known there were copies there. Anyway my Arrow order arrived today.

Imaginary internet points to those who can spot what I'm missing.

Release order doesn't work in my brain-filing system! But I don't see Memories of Matsuko, Kamikaze Girls, Tezuka's Barbara, the Pink Films collections, or Fire on the Plain and Top Knot Detective with or without slips.

Kamikaze girls?

[Yurakucho]

Gah, I do have Memories of Matsuko and Barbara, must be somewhere else...
Yes, no Kamikaze Girls Blu, Fires on the Plain (slipcase seems rare), Top Knot (seen it, hated it), and the Pink Films due to their sleazy covers.
Also don't have Teenage Hooker Became a Killing Machine.

This was in stock on HMV over the weekend so I was expecting a dispatch email which never came. Like you, today I received a cancellation email but then 30 minutes later an email saying they were sorry for the delay etc. Either way they haven't refunded me so I'm going to have to contact them.

They seem a bit confused: I actually cancelled my order last week as soon as the copy from Arrow shipped

Excluding pre-orders & ones already mentioned, you're missing the following:

Hanagatami (2017) BD
Lowlife BD
Funuke: Show Some Love, You Losers! BD
Summer Time Machine Blues BD
The Taste of Tea BD
Adrift in Tokyo BD

Lowlife Love is signed on the top shelf.
I'm assuming Hanagatami is deliberate (much life the absence of the Toyoda single releases) because it's in the Obayashi set.
Funuke and STMB are both on the bottom shelf.

[Yurakucho]

I've got Taste of Tea, where the hell is it...too late, they're all back in their air-proof, dust proof, high security lead boxes now, photo ruined.
