Live shots!

The groupbuy will be closed very soon 😃

 

This is an incredible sight. So excited! Although either my screen resolution or my eyesight is going, I can only read 'MATRIX 'Retarded' 😫

From my understanding, it is faux leather.

Not gonna lie, the first thing I did when i opened 'The Matrix' was to sniff the case...now tell me who didn't?!! 😂

Wonderful to know they are going to complete the trilogy!

 

I saw in the Reloaded thread that we will get the same matching number if we bought the first one.

Is this also the case for Revolutions?

So all 3 would be matching numbers?

I have read that yes, this is the case, those who bought The Matrix and are buying 2 & 3 will have matching numbers where possible.

UC is preparing something special to go with Matrix trilogy but further info will only be revealed upon the studio approval.

Hopefully some kind of classy 'Motherbox' to keep the 'Trilogy' in? That would be cool...and wouldn't have to be the size of the Dark Knight one from HDZeta either!

Over two months later and all is quiet... do we have any update or news on this release?

I noticed the wrapping really bends the case inward on this one.  Need to stuff more goods in there or make the boxes skinnier

Well, mine was the same too. To the point where it has 'cracked' the paint finish on the leather edge at the bottom on the spine of the slip. I can clearly see a thin white crack rise from the bottom upwards about 10mm on one edge and 15mm the other. Very thin, but still noticeable on the black finish. There is also a noticeable 'deformity' or mis-shape at the bottom where a lump swells out too compared to my Ghost In The Shell UHD. I have not even removed the shrinkwrap and can clearly see the issues.

Together with the 'notebook' (many empty pages of the booklet) that was not advised in advance of purchase, this has further dented my confidence in UHD Club products. I have no issue paying premium prices for premium product - and the actual concept & design is superb - but the execution just seems very hit or miss to me. I felt the same with the darkness of the print on the GITS booklet, but was willing to let that slide and hope things improved for future releases.

I can understand production flaws in product runs in the 1000's and tens of thousands, but with 'just' 200 pieces (and effectively the most expensive edition of the movie in the world today) to let this kind of quality issues reach the customer is not really on.

To end my comment on a positive note, the Media Psycho cards were a fantastic and welcome 'extra' (as with GITS). The addition of the '4kUltra HD printed on the spine of the slip is welcomed (it was missing from the GITS).

I'll continue to support UHD Club releases, but for how long, who knows?

@stanleydobson Again, another great video, thank you - although I cannot understand what you are explaining, the visuals are great. Quick question... why was there all those blank pages in the book?

I remember walking out of the Cinema with my friend and we were just silent (at least until we got to the pizza house!). That movie was something special.

I've only seen it once since then and having seen the 4k reviews, was about to buy until I saw MP's post on Facebook.

Can't wait for this landmark movie to get a landmark release.
