What did you import in June?

What did you import in June?
Are you not answering your own question this month? ^^;

I was wondering where this thread was earlier today, since so much of June has passed by already. ^_^ I'll save my post until the few things that I've ordered have shipped.

[sailor53]

I've imported the following:

R4 DVD:

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai Part 01

JP Bluray:

From Up On Poppy Hill (regular edition)
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Box 02 (limited edition)
Tales From Earthsea

I still have items to get. I'll answer my question when I'll have everything. (which will be like the last day of the month or something like that, but I still prefer to create the thread earlier in the month).

Well, my first import for the month arrived. AmazonJP split-shipped Chihayafuru BD 7, and it arrived today. Since it was shipped by itself, it was only in a sturdy envelope, and I wasn't surprised to see some minor damage. The disc and its digipak are fine, but the near-empty bonus box holding the Daddy Bear and Snow-maru (cel-phone?) charms was slightly compressed and creased.

Have the previous charms been mentioned around here? If not:

v1: young Chihaya holding a karuta card
v2: Arata
v3: Taichi
v4: Kana-chan
v5: Tsutomu
v6: Nishida

Almost forgot. Order came late this month. June 2012 releases.

- First time I've managed to stay under $1k since January. Though that's because I have an HMV order not shipping until August. Also almost no CDs, and no boxsets.
- I'm only importing 3 Spring shows too, pretty low for me, but summer could be dangerous. July would be especially big if the HMV order weren't shifted, but that means August could be huge.
- Oh and Nichijou finally ends. Five shows ended this month actually.

　　　BD, JP, 13 releases
　　　CD, JP, 2 releases

[MelancholicMariya]

Some of my orders just arrived, but I bought them in June.

BD

Nisemonogatari Karen Bee - Part 3
Hyouka - vol 1
Mardock Scramble - The First Compression

CD

Steins;Gate Hiyoku Renri no Darling PS3 OP CD + DVD
Medaka Box OP - Happy Crazy Box

Books

The World God Only Knows - vol 1 - 16

Games

Robotics;Notes - Limited Edition - PS3 [not yet shipped but has been charged]



Not much this month. Next month has Hidamari Sketch, Medaka Box and I'm probably going to buy the Monogatari novels.

[HitokiriShadow]

BDs
Nisemonogatari #3
Senki Zesshou Symphogear #3
Senki Zesshou Symphogear #4

Books
Ore no Kouhai ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai #1 LE
Hayate no Gotoku! #32+0

Figures
Kuroneko -sitting version- (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/goods/goods_detail.html?KEY=NEOGDS-55595)
Kuroneko -Holy Angel Kamineko- (http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIG-MOE-5115)

That's it for the Nisemonogatari volumes I had ordered before the Aniplex/Amazon situation pulled most of the BDs from the site. I was hoping the situation would be resolved by now, but obviously its not. So now I need to figured out if I want to place an HMV order and hope for a good time to do that (HMVs sales are highly annoying for a number of reasons) or do something else.

[Damius]

Finally, I got my June shipment today! And here is what I got:

Ano Natsu de Matteru Vol. 4
Hyouka Vol. 1
Mouretsu Pirates Vol. 1 LE
Mouretsu Pirates Vol. 2 LE
Mouretsu Pirates Vol. 3 LE
Mouretsu Pirates Vol. 4 LE
Saki Achiga-hen Vol. 1

I love June! ^__^

Books:
Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! Volumes 1/2
Hanasaku Iroha Complete Book
Official Fanbook: Suzumiya Haruhi no Kansoku (present for Goggen)

CDs:
Bakemonogatari Complete Songs and Soundtrack

Needed replacement copies of Chuunibyou to take the place of the ones I had to break the bindings for scans for. I'm sure people will be glad there's no crevice for the insert images when it's finally released. Goggen deserved something for marathoning the Haruhi novels and importing the JP versions. The Iroha book is glorious, and I have a mancrush on Satoru Kousaki's music.

Books:
Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai! Volumes 1/2


I can only find this on Kyoto Animation's store. Is that the only place it's available? I checked Amazon a good while back but couldn't find anything.

The KA Esuma line is incredibly hard to find if you live outside of Japan. Besides KyoAni's own store (which doesn't take cards), you can only purchase the novels at one of the stores on this list (http://www.kyotoanimation.co.jp/books/retailer/) (and only those certain novels too). But for us, the easiest way to go is via proxy from KyoAni's own store. None of the online retailers have them available and it's difficult to find them used as well.

Clannad Original Soundtrack
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: The Original Soundtrack
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt THE WORST ALBUM

Yeah, I actually imported some stuff. Crazy. Only CDs so far, and nothing new or deluxe, but they are Japanese releases that shipped from Japan, which I already never thought I'd do, so you never know what it might lead to...

[Damius]

...which I already never thought I'd do, so you never know what it might lead to...

You know, back couple of years ago...I imported couples of CDs too... now...I import 2 series a season... and many CDs... so yeah, I guess you are right.

I'm a little worried...

By the way, in the Clannad soundtrack's track listing on the digipak, does anyone know the significance of the "1972" on the Hikarisaka crest?

When the school was founded, I believe.

I figured that was probably it, just found it surprising since there's just a line there in the anime version. Thanks.

I fear August for you...
