That's great that they allowed tracking! I'm always curious of how long custom actual holds onto it, versus how long it takes to just mail it over. Besides, they need to make sure there's no Cool Devices in there! -_-
All I know is that I've heard horror stories from customs on damaged goods (including one package that I myself, sold online).

Of the four packages that I've received from TRSI since they started tracking, there has been no pattern to how long CC holds onto the package:
1 - 4 hours (!)
2 - 1 day
3 - 3 days
4 - 7 days (bastards!)

Definitely not! I just can't help shaking the feeling that the Customs dorks are making rips of muh sweet, sweet anime...

Princess Tutu finally arrived last monday and I've now finished
watching it. Really enjoyed it. My only complaint is that the disc
are stacked which makes it very risky to pull out of the case.

I scored big time today. I found City Hunter 91 at a local used media store in like new condition for just $14.95. I even had enough store credit to get it and didn't have to pay a dime out of pocket.
Now all I need is City Hunter 3 and my collection will be complete.

Battle Angel Alita and And Yet The Town Moves. That last one is a blind buy btw, I saw it in the store and I'd heard good things about it so I figured "what the hell..." and bought it.

Just bought Starship Operators in the U.K. R2 set. (I'm imagining it's an alphapack or some such. If I like it, I'll probably look into the the R1 box set in the future.)
I like the idea of it, and I like what I've seen of the art, but apart from that I'm just curious and blind.

Starship Operators is a very nice show. It starts out OK, but once the battles get going it's quite good. Also seeing Sinon make strategies was really cool. I wasn't an anime fan when it was first airing/being released, but I imagine it's one of those gems that just got lost in the shuffle since hardly anyone talks about it, but when they do, they say good things.

Okay so anime credit card is payed off. Time to place my full June-July orders from Amazon Japan: I've got the fifth BD volume of Gundam Unicorn, the Gunbuster 2 BD Box Complete Edition, the regular BD edition of From Up On Poppy Hill, and the limited BD double feature of My Neighbor Totoro and Grave of the Fireflies all reserved. After shipping that brings it to ¥34175 JPY or around $422 USD. I'd like to also throw all up and listed volumes for Natsuiro Kiseki into this order but since Amazon JP and Aniplex/SME aren't getting along at the moment, this is not possible. They say HMV Japan is the next cheapest so I think I will end up going that route and maybe get a cheesy artbox or something with it.

All true, plus it has one of the best OP-ED combo ever.

Is it a straight reissue, or did they add anything new? I [expletive] love that film.
