Heyho,

can't really register on this Wiki, likely because my nickname is "inappropriate". I would guess they have some awful filter like some MMOs used to have.

Anyway. Are you familiar with "Momoiro Guardian" for instance? On VNDB, a "regular" and a slipcase version is listed. Do you know how those actually look? It's kinda impossible to find actual picture and on YA and such, users don't list the specific version. In Japanese, the slipcase version actually says: "with outer box", so my guess would be that the "regular" version is just an amaray and the slipcase one has a box, in whatever form. Do you have any further knowledge in that regard? There are also some other games that have two different physical versions as well (Boku dake no Hokenshitsu, Vanish! ~Oppai no Kieta Oukoku~ etc).

You only buy your Alicesoft things via Buyee, right? Amazon.jp had "鬼畜王ランス公式設定資料集" listed as new for like a day or two, even two copies. But I guess they were snatched pretty quickly since they disappeared again. The sellers' rating wasn't too good though, as they sell display copies from stores and even if it's listed as "new", it apparently often had issues. (Otherwise I would have imported it immediately.)

Apart from that, I have woes with Amazon.jp. One order of mine has been stuck in "shipping now" modus for a while now. Hopefully, it gets underway soon. Also bought a supposedly new copy of 闘神都市Ⅱ そしてそれから・・・ for 1 Yen (and 1200 Yen shipping) but apparently that's also still not on the way to my forwarding service *sigh*. Collecting things sure can be frustrating (especially if you buy new and it arrives damaged in some way (mostly shrink tears but sometimes even partly crushed boxes). Then again, Alicesoft itself has had an awful shrinkwrap service for this past decade, or so, as while their games' shrinkwrap used to be super smooth and straight, it's always pretty meh nowadays, with wrinkles etc. (Yes, I have a typical collector's mindset.)
