Hope a free weekend comes up soon so I can upload covers (just the box to start; it's a whopping 26 discs in here (with gorgeous cover art for each)). I have a weakness for all things baseball, and Mitsuru Adachi's my favorite manga artist, so I think it was only a matter of time until I added Touch to the LD collection. And I think my Japanese is getting to the point where a subtitle-less re-watch makes sense. Also got Touch: Miss Lonely Yesterday (1998) [VPLY-70719] in the same auction. I'm automatically suspicious of anime-original sequels to manga adaptations, but I'll give it a try. Touch is one of my all time favorites. Such a ride and yeah the art is sublime.

Believe me it doesn't get any cheaper. I try to stay away for box sets or sets in general and just focus on single discs if I do get any.

I ended up contacting them because I thought it seemed too high. Shipping went down like 5000 yen after they adjusted something.

Gypsy, you changed your pic and I didn't notice You know the ins and outs of international shipping, its a hassle as we both know. I've been sitting with these 6 discs in my cart for the past month but the shipping will cost the same as the discs from this seller, ugh.

Yeah in my orders I try to optimize as best I can and grab things to sell to recoup funds. This was $62 to ship. The games basically added nothing to the shipping cost.

This one is a bit weird – two discs of photos of buildings, 59,000 yen when new (about 400 usd). Not sure why it was seen as preferable to have this database on disc rather than in books where they could have been far higher res. Attachment:

Did it come with a booklet with scannable barcodes for navigation? I have a feeling this is more for an architect's office rather than a classroom - there isn't really very much to learn from these low res building pics. There's no booklet, I think the navigation info is on the disk itself. Perhaps it felt a bit high tech to show clients a info on a screen?

The last one I've currently got in is The Rugrats Movie. This is a movie I used to watch a ton as a kid, and thought it would be neat to own on the format. I did end up paying 60$ for it, which is expensive for a single movie, but listings for it don't pop up too often, and in the end, the Disc and Sleeve were in basically pristine shape, so I'd say it was worth the cash I paid for it.
