A couple cool pickups in the mail today.

American Werewolf in London 4K from Arrow

The Fu Manchu Cycle from Indicator 

Also, I think there’s a typo on the card that comes with E.T.

The edition is #UC16, not #DP16

Don’t think I’m going to open these yet, but rarely have I been so floored by how beautiful a premium is.

Detailed pictures of Jaws and E.T. to come, but I just couldn't wait to show everyone my mail day. A whole cornucopia of incredible releases, including an unauthorized copy of Ken Russell's The Devils on Blu-ray with both cuts included!

I have not either as mines DIRECT also, but @LeGonze aren’t these being shipped from our USA 🇺🇸 HUB? 🧐

Holy crap these have arrived ! Beautiful ...will do my best to get them all out tomorrow !!

Per John, copies have arrived at the US Hub. I'm sure you'll get tracking soon, @Veum!

Just paid my invoice for this and E.T.!!!!!

Went out to Best Buy this AM to pick this up. I swear that these Best Buy / Lionsgate 4K exclusives are getting better and better. Gotta love that “First Pressing” text printed on the opening of the steelbook. 
 

Got another MP GB item in the mail today. 
 

The Matrix 4K from Titans of Cult!

EDIT: Huge shoutout to @blu.steel33 for helping me secure some rarer Zavvi exclusives through the GB here on MP. Many, many thanks for all your work.

Today’s arrival is a big one!

The Dark Knight Trilogy from UHD Club (#026/268)

Absolutely stunning set. The magnetic closing mechanism on the digipacks? *chef’s kiss*
 

It’s worth noting here that Turbine’s 2019 4K release not only lacked HDR, but it had some rather wonky encoding issues. That’s why they’ve emphasized in the announcement that the encoding was done by a company more up to the task.

I’ve personally loved all of Turbine’s 4K releases, though their first go at Texas Chainsaw was a bit bungled. This new one will most likely look incredible.

A couple of cool new arrivals from Shout Factory today. Really excited to crack into these.

Nice wasn’t aware that they shipped direct, always used the GB. Thanks

Yup! Shipping is pretty fast, as well. My copy of American Werewolf in Paris 4K only took a week to arrive.

Where did you order from that ships to the US.

Turbine ships direct to the US. And you don't have to pay VAT!

I own this 4K steel from Turbine that came out in 2019. Can confirm that this new release adds Dolby Vision HDR (previous release didn't have HDR).

Can't really go too wrong. There are lots of great places in chinatown. I can also recommend a very small place called Wonton Noodle Garden for their amazing soups and fried chicken wings. In mid-town, Chef Yu is an excellent choice. Very nice and big place. Get the Shrimp Dumplings Szechuan Style 🤤

Although this is a rude depiction, it is accurate as to how I feel with all of the incredible food within reach at all times. I'm partial to halal food, specifically the original Halal Guys on 6th Ave and W 53rd St. I used to grab a sandwich before heading over to MoMA for movies.

Joe's Shanghai, best soup dumplings in NYC! That was the appetizer. Then we went to Hop Kee (my usual "go to" place) for the main courses

Wonderful, will have to try next time I’m in town. Usually visit NYC a few times a year. Used to live there and have many friends still there.

Our very own UK Hubmaster Carl @blu.steel33 came to NYC for a visit last week. My wife and I had a really nice time with him and his wife, seeing some of the NYC sights and we ate some great food in Chinatown too. 

 

 

 

Soup dumplings! My favorite! Looks like a delicious dim sum.

New arrival from Arrow! Lies & Deceit : Five Films by Claude Chabrol!

New arrival from the WCL GB right here on MP! Akira 4K!

Thanks to the MP Staff for another successful GB.

Posted in the wrong thread by mistake. So sorry to hijack your thread!

By the way, having that Dune steel is a big deal now that it's OOP!

Mail day! Two new Shout Factory exclusives! Communion and Blood of the Vampire!

Oh, I forgot one more new arrival!

The Punisher 4K Steelbook from Best Buy!

Awesome gets! Demonoid and I Drink Your Blood for the win!

Many thanks! My list of OOP VS slips that I need grows smaller by the day!

It was a red letter day for movie mail today!

First up: The new 4K edition of Touch of Evil from Kino Lorber. Going to look absolutely stunning on my display. Can’t wait to watch.

Second: The long-OOP Blu-ray of Wake in Fright from Drafthouse Films 

Finally: Some OOP Vinegar Syndrome slips and a Grindhouse Releasing staple 

Whoops! Didn't even realize this release had a topic before I tried to post one. Apologies!
