Importing a copy of the Beetlejuice series, as well as the German release of The Dreamstone series (the Amazon listing claims it's in English and German so keeping my fingers crossed)
Edit: Threw Moominvalley in there too*

I actually ordered Blood of Zeus Season 2 on BR. Calculated gamble on my part.
I actually hated the first season, I thought it was a Castlevania-wanna-be only with
terrible writing, However, for Season 2, things could be different:

* Reviews for Season 2 have been terrific, ranging from the 8 out 10 to even as high as 9 out of 10.
One reviewer actually wrote that he was "blown away by Season 2". That's pretty high praise.
* Shows typically improve from Season to Season (eg. the first couple of seasons of Family
Guy were awful, but the show steadily improved after that).
* I got it for a song ($20)

Worth a shot.

Challenge of the Go-Bots - The Original Miniseries
Challenge of the Go-Bots - volume 1
Challenge of the Go-Bots - volume 2

I ordered these on the last day of May. The first two came to me on Sunday, and the latter came to me today.

I guess I should have bought the Go-Bots DVDs a long time ago since they've been out for a while, but it's good that I got them while I could. They're my only DVD purchases of the year, and I don't have any others planned. So far I've bought more Blu-rays than 4Ks this year. I plan on getting more of both, and the majority of them are Blu-rays.

Update: Blood of Zeus S2 was utterly meh. Better than Season 1, but that isn't saying much.
Not sure why the series was given such glowing reviews.
