  1. When I see such beautiful sets and “complete” word is somewhere on the top, it always gives me trouble to pass. Probably it’s the last set like this from MCU, as when next phase will finish probably physical media will die :)

     

    Finally I pulled the plug on this one but…with the set from France! Ok, FRANCE? Yep, it was massive deal thanks to witch I saved around 44% compared to UK one (not taking into consideration the Taxes after UK Brexit). Saving is connected to: Euro is cheaper than GPB, Amazon.Fr had 20% sale, few items have manufacturing defects that are not that critical and amazon gave me additional saving. In total 180 GPB saving. 

     

    Check out the differences between UK & FR sets, especilay now when UK is sold out.

  2. Rambo Best Buy exclusive box set is the absolute bomb. Original artworks prepared for this set are amazing and I was surprised that they risked with so many colors on it, but it paid off and we received one of a kind excellent product. The inside is padded and holds the steelbooks nice and tight with proper space for finger to take them out. Few damages on the package but still I got it in the good shape, compared to many other sets. Check out my unboxing and give a comment.

  3. Check out what I got!!! OOS Black Box Edition is limited to 333 pcs and was released by German company Nameless in March of 2021. Retailer is well known for premium releases of Mediabooks, German equivalent of Digibooks and amazing busts that are one of the best in the industry. This set was sold out in nearly 20 minutes after the preorder started and made it one of the hottest releases this month. This box offers up a thrilling collection of all installments of this body horror series in one consistent box with…nice body parts. Black Box is a game changer, as it gives fresh design compared to other releases of this series. Different approach and exclusive artworks is one of the biggest advantages of it and the quality of final product will satisfy even obsessive collectors especially all over the world. Check out my unboxing:

  4. Classic unboxing with voiceover of Dawn of the Dead. Cult classic finally remastered to 4K by Second Sight. It’s amazing sets with all available cuts of the film and many bonuses. Packing is nice, especially the box itself with sturdy and well made cardboard. Consistency of artworks between digipack and books is great, but there are also 2 major disappointments. First of all same artwork on 2 digipacks and lack of pictures/arts under the discs leave the feeling that it’s rushed into production without final touches. It was delayed many times and there was plenty of time to make it perfect. Anyway it’s the best set up to date for this film without any doubts. Can’t wait to watch it again…

  5. Finally it arrived – Midsommar Coffee Book…wait what? Just kidding. Latest Ari Aster film in Director’s Cut version for the first time on 4K in A24’s Shop debut in selling Limited Editions. What is cool that A24 is the studio that is behind the release of the film, so it’s nice touch that they had released their own film in their own manner. So what they come up with?  

    Amazing digibook edition unlike any edition of this type. First of all, its huge – tall to be exact. It’s high as 1,5 standard blu-ray box, so it’s not an easy item for a collector to keep. The best way is to keep it on the display or with other bigger size editions on the shelf. Size of it is the main shocking point when you open the delivery box. I was expecting DVD size, but when you see it for the first time your eyes are popping out. What is strange, when you have it in hand, its hard to have an impression that the size is inappropriate or something is wrong with it. Probably the effect of Coffee Book is playing a game with you.

    The yellow-mustard or Hårga-yellow slipcase is sturdy enough to feel the premium power of it. It is covered in fabric or some kind of material or its just an imitation made from paper. I am not a specialist, but the fell is awesome again it’s great touch that makes this minimalistic edition, grow with every step you play with it. Inside the box, there is digibook with 62 pages featuring original artworks from the film by Ragnar Persson and a foreword by Martin Scorsese. Those artworks may have been seen in the film, but I don’t remember all of them there. I also have a feeling that not all those that were in the film are included here – but this is good motivation to watch it again.

    Director’s Cut is longer for about 20 minutes and it’s first release in 4K. Earlier it was released on standard Blu-ray in some countries, but 4K was only for theatrical release. So it’s a good start for A24 in their physical media affair, especially that it sold out in few hours. What spices this more is that shipment for outside of US collectors, was not cheap – so it shows how much collectors appreciated this edition and the whole film by itself.

  6. GORDON’S ALIVE in 4K!

    Gorgeous looking set prepared by Studio Canal for UK market is the best option from all that are prepared for the release of Flash Gordon in 4K. This edition has the biggest variety of disc and goodies compared to other countries, so watch out what you are buying as it may not be the same.

    Digipack is stocked in very nice rigid hard box that reminds me of limited Arrow releases, however this is more glossy and some elements of it have holofoil effect. Size of it is similar to hard box sets from FilmArena, but little bit thinner. For protection I used pet sleeves aimed for that, so I have a gap around amaray width. Edition consists of 5 discs, film on 4K and BD as well as special features and future length new documentary – Life After Flash. Last disc is CD Queen Soundtrack.

    This edition feels like premium and it is for those who remember old school collector’s edition from the past (ex. Troy Ultimate Collector’s Edition on DVD). Fantastic package with posters, artcards, booklets gives an impression that producers wanted to celebrate anniversary with this release. Collector’s booklet and minibook are nice however comic book strip is so small that it’s hard to have fun with reading it. It’s so spectacular set that I miss only some kind of letter from the cast or crew with foreword or something like that – about their feelings how it looks in 4K after so many years.

    Great job, Studio Canal – I am hungry for more treatment like this! See you with the new video!

  7. This movie series is one of the rare low-budget horror flicks that are actually good. Simple storyline, puppets and terrible acting but this is a monster movie from the 80s, so everything matches the nostalgy of that era. In line with Gremlins, its the series that everyone have to have on their shelf. This particular DVD release comes from...Hungary. Not so obvious country has released probably the only special / limited edition of this movie. Up till now only blu ray edition was released in few countries in futurepack or boxed, but still this edition is the only somehow special.

    Extremely rare and almost impossible to find Fur Box is a real grail for those who collect movies. I was hunting it down for almost a year until local collector helped me out to get this beauty. Released by EEAP company this set worth to have it whenever you will find that someone is selling it out.

    The problem is not the PET sleeve, it is how crappy they are being sen. Well at least Zavvi. Can't speak for any other company, Amazon UK usually ships in bubble miler or Jiffy bag as well though, just not sure on these.

    But I get if you just don't like beyond them getting damaged. There has been a lot of great releases with them, I saw the Devil and Zero Dark Thirty come to mind, both from Plain Archive. And all the Mondo Steels. Just to name a few.

     

    I just wish they shipped better. At least have an option to pay more if so desired to have packed properly. 

     

    PET Slips from Korean retailers its different thing. I was talking more about for example Game of Thrones steelbooks with Sigil. Fully closed slips sooner or late will be damaged if you will be opening and closing them. For sure they should do them more sturdy, like steelbook central protectors, but even those will have problem when you use them frequently. I think the best option is if they produced them with one side open, just like normal full slip.

  9. Mad Max: Fury Road - third edition made by Titans of Cult. Amazing looking set with 4k edition of the film. I am not big fan of PET slips due to the fact that they are breaking in frequently used parts, but i must admit that this one looks very cool. Inside you can find exclusive art steelbooks - Mini and standard one. Mini steelbook keeps enamel pin and normal one is equipped with 3 discs (4k UHD and Standard Blu-ray + Black and Chrome edition) with the film.

    I like the minimalistic look of the steelbooks and the hard work that was put into this release. Good Job Titans!
