Wow! That is weird! Don’t like at all...the first I can say that about. I have many and this is the first I regret joining the group buy. Soon as I get it it’s up for sale. Hope they don’t do that “style” in the future. Was really looking forward to a nice premium for this classic film...the wait goes on.

Agree 100%. I didn't want to get attacked for saying something negative about it, so did not. Glad I am not the only one who feels this way.

Also glad I waited this time for beauty shots to sign up as too many I don't like after and don't like getting just to sell. Especially when during our current climate where the wait is REALLY long.
Still waiting for Wild at Heart (paid invoice in April) - just to sell when I get it. Same with Heat, but just paid invoice not too long ago, so might be waiting till next year on that one. Again, just to sell when I get.  I don't think they can ship at the moment to me?

So I am really waiting for beauty shots from now on on these.

Never bought a WCL edition before, and honestly cannot recall seeing one on our new arrivals threads either? Although I am sure I must have.

 

I went in for the Kimchi/Ive Akira, so feeling reluctant to go again now, although I understand that this one is 4K whereas mine isn’t, and that @Grendel & @extantsrevenge will be telling me to jump in regardless! 😂

 

Anyone got any nice WCL items that they can share with me to get an idea of their work please? Also guessing that these come in at around the £40 mark before shipping? 

I have not, but just a heads up there is a nice Japan edition that is 4K. Amaray, not a steelbook. Nice slipbox edition with thhe same art that was on the KimchiDVD/Ivy lenticular edition, but not a lenticular.

I bought it after also getting 2 of the KinchiDVD Editions. The Lenti and the Blue Full slip. It is really nice. Here is the link. Worth looking into.

Amazon Japan

If the WCL edition is REALLY nice, I will get it too.

Nice. Beautiful Artwork. 

Would have preferred they left the title off the front though.

I loved the look of the JW Parabellum and even though it was Arrow Nightbreed 

 

Nightbreed was a real nice construction .

 

JW Parabellum  I did not order so i did not get to see the quality .

 

LETS HOPE for good things 

Thee biggest issue I have is Zavvi will ship it in a Jiffy bag. And will for sure be damaged.

Now that being said Zavvi 5th Element I did that and forgot to stop the order . guess what arrived today  YEP AND I AM IN LOVE 

ZAVVI `when it gets it right IT IS RIGHT 

 

Nice. Mine is on the way. I loved the art on this one. I am sure it will be a bit still, being in the US. But all good.

What to do 

 

WILL It be worth the 55 quid Or NOT 

 

Zavvi either Nail IT OR Blow it .

 

Absolute Genius OR absolute Shite

Same. There are things I like and things I am not crazy about. I lie the cover to Chapter 2, but the other, with the house. Meh. And the box, meh. 
But I have gotten every other release, so do I stop here?

I am at least going. to pre-order and can always cancel later.

Pre-order will go live on August 28th, 12pm (UK time).

Thank you. Appreciate it. 
 

I am no longer on Facebook and that was the only good thing I am missing is the alerts. Not sure how I will keep up with those? There is  newsletter that goes out but usually the stuff is already live before they send out at the end of the week. (weekend

Michael 

Anyone know when this goes live for pre-order on Zavvi?

tI don't think they have not said yet, but could be wrong.

Thanks

Sweeet. Ok. All good.

Thank you. Appreciate it.

@extantsrevenge
Do you by any chance know if anyone that was left standing on the Jaws list has gotten invoiced for it?
Just curious.

Thanks

Hey!

 

I am still trying to convince UC to move Jaws out of their wooden box series. As of now, the focus is to make the light mechanism for their concept work. Then after that UC will have a better idea if Jaws will become a DP series (hardbox) 

Nice. Glad to hear. That would be great. Crossing fingers it might happen.
It originally was listed as that and I asked to be removed when it was changed to wooden box.

So for me, would love to see it go back. Just not a fan of the wood box. 

Either way I am sure it will be really nice.

I love the beauty shots. Superb effort 

I've not seen the film, but the beauty shots  are very tempting 

 

How's the film guys? Honest opinion 

Would love to get fellow members thoughts on how good the film is? 

 

Gracious! 

It is a classic, but I agree, it is hard to say how another will respond. It is considered a classic not by my opinion, so that counts fo something, but there are a lot of people who ONLY watch new current movies an have a hard time with anything else, black and white, subtitles, foreign films, silent films, and feel some of the older movies are too slow because it is not non stop stop using inappropriate language blowing up like a Michal Bay movie.

I personally highly recommend it. I love Audrey Hepburn. Her and Barbara Stanwyck are a couple of my favorites from back then.

This will go beautifully with my "EverythingBlu" release of this.

Hi @mgurau  🙂

 

The Kimchi  Premium eds  of Akira are assuredly English subbed. 🙂

Really? No mention on the website. Weird they would not list of it was.

Surprised this never came up before, or if it did, I missed it.

But someone asked me today about the Akira releases and if they had. English subtitles.? Not sure.  I will check.
I looked and nope.
KimchiDVD lists as follows. Bummer.

• Language: Japanese
• Subtitles: Korean  /  Japanese

Since they only release 4k blu rays. Memento will have to get a 4k release and then UC will release it hopefully.

 

 

Those wooden boxes 😍 😳 👌 ♥  I haven't seen a wooden box release in person but by everyone's praise here im sure they look spectacular. I truly hope they start releasing regular blu ray releases since the 4k format is slowing them down. I need more engraved wood in my life 😄 

Ah, gotcha. Thanks

I wish they would do anyway. I could care less about 4K. Actually a deterrent for me.

But that is just me.

Nice. I passed on the Wood one. I am not a fan of the wood ones or the wood case designs, or even the leather.
I must be the odd one out as it seems people like those more, or at least, or appears that way based off comments I see.

I LOVE the digipacks. Prestige is the nicest things I have gotten in years. So glad it will follow that.
 

Comments mention this closing out the "Nolan" Series, but I don't see a "Memento" release" Any plans on UHD Club doing it?

Yea I thought that was weird. I don't like having to choose an edition when all we know is that all 3 are fullslips

Exactly. OOps, I spelled Group Buy wrong.  Lol.

Yea, I saw some comment, well I am, in for the 4K. So they just pick one sight unseen. It is all about the art for me, and there is plenty of time I don't like any of the 3. 

I can't afford right now anyway, so not an issue for me. Can't sign up. 
Maybe they figure you can just sell it?

I think the tiered membership works well, but maybe just me.

Only problem is when something goes up for Grip buy like Shazam! Film Arena and there is no Beauty shots yet. You need to sign up to get high on the list or you won't get, even if you have a platinum membership, but you don't know what anything is yet?

Some might say, well you are only signing up for any edition, so let's say there is 3, you just have to pick 1. What if you don't like any of them once beauty shots come out. 

Just my 2 cents.

Michael

 

Ugh, when did the box art get changed. That is hideous. Dammit. I am locked in for this, and have gotten the last 2,, so wanted to complete the set, but the 1st wasn't anything special, loved the second, but this one is weak. Cover is great but existing art and HDZeta used it, and now the box. Ugh.

Wish I could bail out. And prefer to sell the other 2 at this point.

Hows Fnac packaging ? do they use boxes or bubble mailers ?

They are awful. It was a box, but super thin, wide to be able to put 2 steels next to each other. So if 2 were ordered, they do that, if 1, they sill use same box, and it has a lot of room to move around. But is so thin you can take thumb and forefinger and press with barely any pressure and touch each other. Steel will get damaged for sure. Mine did and their customer service was worse than any company ever dealt with. I ended up forcing a refund on them with a bank charge dispute.

I don't think they could use that same box for a larger item like the Titans of Cult steels, so who knows. But my guess is it will be a bubble mailer.

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.

Ah gotcha. Agree.

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!

Subscirbie, Like & Share! Thanks for stopping by!

 

 

 

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.

This news is a little frustrating, because they have already successfully produced premium sets for The John Wick franchise. 
 

Yup. Was pretty confused when I read the Facebook post. They even say "It's been a long time since we announced the release of NOVA EXCLUSIVE ...." you mean a few months ago when you released John Wick 3, As NE #25. These will be #26, 27 and 28.  Uh, ok?
