I did it....
And so, in the end, I couldn't resist the temptation and ended up pre-ordering the limited first edition of Card Captor Sakura movie 1 & 2 -BluRay- from amazon.co.jp...for a total of 14000JPY ;__;
I am really crazy, all that for 2 blu ray discs (and I don't have a BD lector to read them...) in japanese, which I do not understand, of movies I watched several times already (and I own the DVDs already) along the years, gah!
Just what in the Hell am I doing? >.<
But I did it anyway...
Clamp! The new illustrations you are making for this release better be DAMN GOOD for me to go that far to own them, same for the key chains included with the BD!
Well *sigh* I guess I can always cancel the pre order anytime I want, this is the good thing about amazon, as long as they didn't dispatch the items or got the money from your account, you can always cancel everything, that said, knowing myself, I will very unlikely do it, unless I actually see a preview of the new CCS illustrations and get DEADLY disappointed with them...which actually might be a possibility like any other, who knows?
End of the line: there is still tons of time until August 26th for me to change my mind eventually, so I will stop stressing out about it ;)
The good thing for the people still following my journal, would be that I will definitely share HQ scans of the new CCS illustrations if I purchase them in the end :D
EDIT: I just realized that I just went on blablering without considering there might be people who's got no idea what in the Hell I'm talking about, so here goes a copy/paste of what I postd previously at clamp_now community:
For the ones who don't remember already (or didn't know to start with...), Bandai Visual will release the two Card Captor Sakura movies in Blu-Ray format on August 26th 2011 for 6.300 yens each. The covers will feature new illustrations drawn by CLAMP.

The 2 links above are for the limited 1st editions which will come together with the following straps/keychains: [click to enlarge the pics]
[you have to preorder them before June 8th, 2011 if you want them! Meaning today should be the last day, if June 8th is included in the count that is]
And this morning, I went to Bandai hotsite for this new release, and saw they actually added up new pics of the straps, surprisingly, they are in '3D'; somehow, after seeing the pics above a few weeks ago, I was convinced it would be some sort of flat keychains or something, but it looks like the images were not an actual sneak peek of the final product, but previews of how the mini figures would look like:
They are not colored yet but I'm loving them already ^^ I would have loved it if we had a Syaoran matching one for the movie 2
