That's a real beauty, congratulations! So are you going to open it, or keep it sealed? 

 

He definitely opened it – – or at least the outer plastic, and then remove the contents. I’ve got it myself, and can attest that it is one beautiful set to own!

Congratulations to MP for this, Just clicked the link and preordered it! 

Guten Morgan! Wishing everybody a happy Tuesday…

Thanks, Gary. Is there a possibility of a Group Buy for the HMV steel?

Welcome @chee_kno!

We hope you will find much to like and discuss here at Media Psychos, and that you will want to take part in some of our famous group buys, which help sustain this site. 

Is that steelbook also going to be available through Amazon UK? I got my order in for the ultimate edition through Amazon, but I sure would like that HMV one, too. 
 

I got mine yesterday, but while the corner that affected most people is fine on mine, I did get a ding on the upper left corner at the front that you can see in the photo. Arrow used a very flimsy shipping box with zero padding, so it’s understandable that it was slightly damaged:

I guess I will just have to live with it…

Guten Morgen allerseits!
 

Ich habe gerade “Barbenheimer” gesehen (was bei den Menschen in meinem Wohnort sehr beliebt war, um sowohl Barbie als auch Oppenheimer zu sehen).
 

Beide Filme waren viel besser, als ich erwartet hatte. Greta Gerwig und Christopher Nolan haben (bis heute) karrierebeste Erfolge erzielt. Insbesondere an Oppenheimer wird man sich noch viele Jahre später wegen seiner meisterhaften und virtuosen Darbietung erinnern.
 

Während die Lehren bei Oppenheimer universell sind; Ich bin mir nicht sicher, wie gut sich die kulturellen Witze und die Komödie auf nicht englischsprachige Teile der Welt übertragen lassen, aber ich fand es sehr urkomisch

Nur meine ehrliche Meinung...

Welcome to MP, @Heywoodmoutaw,

we hope you will find much to enjoy and discuss among our members, and that you’ll wanna take part in some of our world-famous Group Buys!

Ähm..... Michael Jackson im Raubtiermodus

+ ein kleiner Junge in unmittelbarer Nähe

= ein Witz mit fragwürdigem Geschmack....

Huch.

Glücklich, was auch immer der Tag der Woche ist! Oh......ja...... es ist…..

OPPENHEIMER-Eröffnungstag!!!!!!
 

(Well, it’s opening day for OPPENHEIMER in the USA, if not everywhere…)

Even though I posted this in the “Happy Birthday” forum in both English und auf Deutsch, I think I should include it here so all the true German speakers can laugh at my awful German!!!

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag an unseren furchtlosen, pelzigen Truppenführer Nils! @extantsrevenge

Ich wünsche Ihnen einen wundervollen Tag voller großer und kleiner Geschenke von Freunden in der Nähe und in der Ferne.

Ich hoffe, Sie können den Tag genießen und daraus ein wundervolles viertägiges Wochenende machen. Ein Hoch auf dich, Nils, du bist ein toller Kerl – – und vielen Dank für alles, was du hier jeden Tag für uns alle auf MP tust!!!

if you're not afraid with shipment & packaging from Arrow ... when I'm looking at both box ... it's clearly 2 different kind of visuals,

for the yellow box, you got a picture of Bruce Lee face, and as for the second box, you got soft visuals like sketches, And I really prefer this kind of design for visuals.

 

And by the way, the 2D edition is now sold out on Arrow, but still available on Amazon UK .... so I'd recommend to wait not much to avoid any sold out box.

I guess people waited for those videos to make their choice ! As you're living in US ... it may be easier to deal with Amazon Customer Service in case of damage or everthing else.

 

If you want my opinion, I'd say, I really prefer the visual for Yellow Box, because you can see all different movies on the box,

but I really prefer the visuals for digi slim from the red box ... I really like the sketches for main movies / disc digi (Big boss, Fist of Fury, Way of the Dragon & Game of Death), and the others visuals are very subtle ... the design blends into the white background. 

  

I decided on the yellow box direct from Arrow (hasn’t arrived yet, but it will be any day now I’m sure). The clincher for me was the more authentic look of the art they used for each movie with Chinese.characters (alphabet) on each.
 

I didn’t think the sketches with the white background on 5 of the films was that great, whereas the artwork for each individual one in the yellow box to me looks better. Nonetheless, I’m giving some thought to getting the retail box from Amazon or a quick order from Arrow.

For me the disclessrelease of Manta Lab is a brilliant idea , i live in Germany and buy the films in german language. And i speak on behalf of many other countries too, from waht I've learned Steelbook and Mediabook releases with blu-ray disc cd are very complicated licensed from film studios, Steelbook and Mediabook publications without blu-ray disc cd so discless are much easier to realize. Smal film publishing house in Germany now also wants limited and numbered edition very high-quality Mediabooks without publishing blu-ray disc cd so discless because with blu-ray disc cd you don't get license. And the project is limited and numbered edition very high-quality Mediabooks discless from movies: Sylvester Stallone, Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude van Damme, Scott Adkins and much more.

Which company/retailer is offering these discless editions you mention? I’d really like to know as that’s very appealing to me, too. 

 

Well, we’ve already seen production photos of every edition in this set, so you would have to assume that the release is still coming out soon. Just because they deleted a progress page shouldn’t necessarily be a harbinger of bad news regarding the release date.
