You are already on the list (#28]

Do you want an additional copy?

Hope we can hit 100 orders when the beauty shot is out, just like 2001!!

*pray*

Looks like we're shy of 100, but I may put in for a 2nd copy like I should have for 2001 if the shots impress!

@Darnoc

 

John @Masterblaster mentioned he was sending the housing box, separate!😉

Thanks Veum! I didn't hear from @ksosk about the box. I signed up for 4/5 before the box announcement, and then put in for the 5th separate, so want to make sure I don't miss out

These arrived today and despite someone at USPS smashing in a corner really good

all 5 came through perfect! One question @ksosk - the housing box was not included could that get mailed to me separately, perhaps with my next hub order? Thanks!

I think it important to note for all CM Blu Ray releases, they are all Region B...

They all look nice, but I was disappointed to find out after purchasing a couple

Does this have a 3d disc?

Never got my lenti- only my OC. Should I have received my lenti copy separately by now?

Can someone get the price for this kind of edition? Thanks!

The 2001 edition ended up being ~$90 all in iirc

WCL will be redesigning it to make it into a greater edition. It will take awhile 😃

 

Dont mind waiting for that!

@aj101097, yeah I’m in the same GBs for Alita, and I just had to say no on this one.

 

The wifey is always getting on me, that I’m spending too much on these! 🥴

 

Had to deal with this at the height of my vinyl record collecting a couple years ago, until we had to put downpayment on our house and was a couple grand short- she was like " what are we going to do?!"

Me: "eh, I'll just sell a few records"

Her: "you can make $2k selling records in a week?"

Me: "yeah, I just need to post 4 or 5 for sale"

granted they were some pretty desirable ones and one made top five sales for a record on discogs for the month, but sometimes you gotta demonstrate the value of your collectibles to earn future leeway.

Reached a similar point with movies when she saw that dark knight motherbox.. still gotta earn leeway this side now too

Hi kiosk, Yeah, Pretty much all get unsealed...just can’t resist!

And that's why I try to buy a barebones steel or basic 4k or 3d edition to play, and leave mine sealed.

Took me a year to open my BF fanstastic beasts and that was because guests wanted to watch it and I didn't have a basic edition to play

A Clockwork Orange

Goodfellas

Once Upon A Time In America 

Once Upon A Time In The West

Zodiac

 

Each of these films is an epic masterpiece deserving of a royal treatment, but perhaps none more so than ‘West’. 

 

 

Has wcl ever done 4k yet? Goodfellas would be a good first try if not

Hi Folks;

I believe one of the criteria the OP mentioned was "no existing Premium copy" but no worries.

Wish lists are exactly that, something we wish would happen.

I think the more "epic" or "iconic" the film, the better the chances

Anyway, here's a few I've pulled from other folks posts and added my supporting vote to and also a few (well, 10) I have in mind not yet mentioned;

+1 - Once Upon A Time In The West - 🤗

+1 - Natural Born Killers

+1 - A Clockwork Orange

+1 - Apocalypse Now

 

- Time Bandits

- Animal House

- Mary Poppins (1st).  [I'm STILL upset Disney did not give the bloody 50th Aniv. of the film a great box-set, like they did Sound Of Music].

- Rocky Horror Picture Show (so much could go into this!)

- Magnificent Seven

- Good, Bad, Ugly

- Dragonslayer 🤗

- Dr. Stranglove

- Cleopatra (Taylor/Burton)

- Brotherhood Of The Wolf (never happen but I can dream can't I ?)

 

Okay, I could go on and on but with gun put to head, these at least. 🙂

I tried to include one of each genre. Except for "Horror", as there's a new edition for horror fliks every week. 😉

First off, great list here overall. I Would absolutely love gbatu if it had the right love put in- good call. Dr strangelove is one of my all-time favorites, and I love time bandits, but I hesitated from putting these or other criterion bluray releases on my list because I didn't see any wcl releases the criterion has done before, or that many other premium publishers have succeeded with.

I put the criteria in because of how wcl has chosen releases historically- I'm sure there's always the right kinds of situations where they would put a release together if they thought they had something significantly different to offer or demand to fill, despite what other premiums or criterion editions may exist

My Picks

 

Watchmen 

 

Strange Days

 

The Hitcher 1986

 

The Abyss

 

Fright Night 1 + 2 

 

The Hunt For Red October 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would love strange days or fright night, if there was enough demand- awesome movies each in their own right

So no box for the OC then?

Discussion of Heat led to consideration of an expanded set for it, and got me thinking

 What would be your top choices for any movie that wcl premium treatment should be given to? I think expanded sets, should be a solid mix of cinematically rich, quality plot, and has strong replayability. Ideally I think 4k scan availability should also be a strong consideration, but not a requirement. It should not have had a premium release by another brand, be by disney(sorry Tron Legacy), and probably shouldn't be apart of a broader series or have a notable sequel (sorry indiana jones and back to the future) due to licensing complexity

Personally, my top five would be:

Usual Suspects

Spies Like Us

Apocalypse Now

Book of Eli

The Crow

How about yours?

Trying to create conversation not just arse lick the admins @Robertm89

 

🐻👅👅👅💩

 

 

 

We need more conversation on these boards, above/beyond exclaimations and core group buy updates: most importantly consideration of new editions against previous ones, details of the actual film quality in releases, etc. Means less cross-forum referencing I need to do😉

Now I’m sure you will be more involved and doing some extra beautiful bonus for this release haha !!

 

ps : thanks @ksosk for the extra bonus inside the Mother Box TDKR HDZ 😊 it was amazing and such beautiful !!

Agreed @ksosk just got the holofoils- quite a nice touch. Thank you

I really wish wcl had held out until the inevitable 4k release of Heat to put this out..

At least with Great Escape I know the 4k scan from a few years back on bluray is the best we're going to get for the foreseeable future

Interesting- may have to check this one out

Wow, those lentis are not very good- was expecting more from this release
