Nice.. I'd wish they did something with the original 1967 animation jungle book 

That would be awesome 

The true treasure.. Blu ray discs 

All 69 episodes across 35 discs 

Booklet with eposide guide, again in Japanese 😭

First ever eposide, "Prescription Murder" transcript but in Japanese lol 

Next up my fellow Psychos. Quite simply, the best detective series on Television 

I am of course talking about Columbo. 

Let's be honest, there have been dozens of detective series on TV, all great characters and popular detectives 

But none was so original and unique as our Lieutenant Columbo. This series brought back intelligent television 

A truly unique model, whereby you knew who the murderer was right from the very first scene 

What joy can you get when you already know who did it? How can a TV detective series be so popular when there is no suspense? 

Colombo put paid to all that, and thew the norms out of the window 

It was the beauty of the kill, the way he harassed, extracted and trapped the murderer scene by scene, acting dumb. The murderer couldn't have been more shocked when Columbo would finally get him. 

The payoff in every Columbo episode was awesome. 

A truly brilliant piece of television. I was mortified when the great Peter Falk passed away. He was born to play this character, and no other actor could've have played him

I am truly honoured and privileged to show you this exclusive "BLU RAY" boxset, only available in Japan

It is really a disservice to this wonderful series that Europe and America have only been lumbered with a DVD box set 

If you are a true fan of Columbo, this blu ray boxset is worth every penny. Especially the latter seasons, in wide screen look awesome. But in truth, every episode is TV magic. Enjoy the pics 

Thanks @ksosk

What's happening with those (like myself) who just ordered the wooden box.. Any updates

Cheers 👍

Nice.. 

Artwork all seen before, but still credit to UC. Nice presentation and finishing quality looks very good 

@Grendel

Thanks ever so much for your comments.

Wow, what a deep dive and loved reading your analysis 

I love hearing member feedback in the choice of film, quality of the premium edition and thoughts on the film overall 

I learn a lot by reading other people's perspective, so thanks very much again for taking the time and effort to write such a wonderful piece 👍

I can't wait to hear your thoughts as I post more 

6th, last but not least.. The recent Titans of Cult

5th is the WWA steelbook. 

4th is Hdzeta... Need I say anymore. Stunning boxset edition 

3rd is the Umania edition, love the steelbook 

2nd is the Filmarena Edition, lovely

Ok, so here is one of my other favourite films. 

Ready Player One. Love the reference to the 80s, pop culture, gaming , The Shining.. 

It brought back so many memories from my childhood. A superb Spielberg directed film. 

Can't wait for part 2 

So here goes.. First up, Manta 

Another premium retailer

First MAG from China and now this Taiwanese company CX 😭

Think I need to take out a business loan 

I've got a great business idea lol. 

@R1s1ngs0n

100% agree with what you say 👍

Communication is key, and Masterblaster eluded to this point already.

Hello friends
I apologize to all of you, I'm really innocent. There are still many problems in my country, you can follow the news and see that in some parts of Iran, the situation is red.
Please put yourself in my place, I who prepared the work and sent the photo, I really got caught and I want  go to Turkey for work and life so that I can continue my work.

You have supported me so far. Please support me until the end of October, I promise to repay all your kindness.
Just understand me one day and please follow the Iranian news about Corona and closed borders.
You know that I love my job and I am not a scammer.

Your support is very important to me because I do all I can to leave Iran and live in Turkey, and that is my only job.

 

Thsnks for all

LUXURY BLURAY

Thanks @Masterblaster for your message

And thanks @Luxury Bluray for the update

All I can say is stay safe buddy, I can understand the restrictions and hardships living in a conservative regime

Added to the fact that Iran does not have the best of relationships with the West does not help either. 

Members on this forum need to understand, things are difficult vis-a-vis Iran whether it is doing business, transferring money, sending and receiving mail etc.. Virtually every Compliance course I've been to (working in a bank) , Iran is flagged - so I can understand the issues Luxury Bluray is faced with 

YES, we are all collectors, YES we would love to have these products in hand sooner, YES, we've waited a long time 

But to put it in perspective, we are not dying here lol.. The item will come - eventually. These are discless editions, YES would look great on the shelf but the delay has not stopped you from watching these movies. Most of the collectors here do not even open their premiums anyway (which I've never quite understood), so I'm sure our shelves can wait 

I will close by asking a question, what's the difference between this situation and Cinemuseum for example?

I paid for Casino back in November, so coming up to a year.. YES, ONE FULL YEAR.. 

If anything, vwe should be up in arms against CM

CM sighted Covid as the main reason for the delay in schedule - exactly the same reason which Luxury Bluray is quoting (which resulted in a closing of borders). 

So why are we differentiating? Just because CM is a European retailer and deemed more reliable? Even though we wait 6 months to a year for every single release. 

And Luxury Bluray is from Iran, hence must be dodgy.. 

Let's be fair guys..... hidden prejudices have  come out  somewhat

Let's try and free ourselves from pre conceived notions and judging.. 

Hoping as much as everyone else our editions come soon.

No mate, my Shawshank is lost. Thank god i didn’t order Inception as well... 

I'm really sorry to hear that buddy 

Not nice listening to this.. 

Quite a rare occurrence I have to say. 

But I know that is no consolation for someone who did not receive a copy 

@Resident Bill

What happened with Shawshank buddy? 

I received my copy from the MP group buy, as did many other members here 

That one went smoothly as far as I know.. 

I love both steels, especially the first 1, quite rare 

2nd one very nice as well but easily available

What's some opinions on this movie? 

How is it? I've seen it but it was a long time ago and I cant remember anything about it.

That answers your question lol. 

The fact that you can't remember anything, means the film probably didn't do it for you 

Personally, I found it to be a wicked film with a great sound track to match  

Seems both will make a nice set 🙂

I've not seen this film, but heard some good things about it

And I'm a fan of Ma Dong Seok

First

I see, I also got an email from Zavvi for the 2nd part lol. 

Nice, Is this the first part or the 2nd part? 

Cheers 

@RileyLad

Whatever you do, stay safe buddy 

A lot of people are still not convinced about how safe  cinema is, given the closed setting.

Hopefully it will be fine, if all people who go remain sensible.. (it shocks me how people out there, especially the 18 - 30s don't give a f*** and jeopardise it for the rest of us).
