Does this edition includes discs or is it discless?

@Mnbvc it has discs, 4k and blu-ray

I guess I’m looking at premium releases all wrong. 

@CDM92 Not really. Having a 4k disc in the edition is always preferred. However, sometimes the retailer doesn't have that option. It's getting harder and harder for distributers in Asia to get 4k discs (and blu-ray too lately). Major studios like Disney and Sony have stopped distributing discs in Asia and some other countries.

Follow up question: does the “WeET” signify anything about a set where you see it?  Any extra bells and whistles, does it serve as a descriptor of a certain kind of product?

 

Regardless, I’m over here recording a song called. “WeET, There It Is”.  May not get huge now but would’ve owned radio in the 90s.

@Heywoodmoutaw WeET is the name of the retailer. The have 2 product lines, Weet Collection (slips with WWA steelbooks) and Weet Exclusive (slips with WEA steelbooks and more deluxe packaging)

Ok, I’m going to go ahead and be the new guy who asks dumb questions.

 

1) What does WeET stand for?

 

2) When using these forums, how do I jump to the last page?  Currently I only see a ‘Next’ key and there are 1120 pages to scroll through!  Ouch.

 

Actual topic:  I need a decent all-region bluray/4K player that has a great picture but isn’t going to cost an arm and a leg, wondering if anyone has recommendations.

1. WeET = We Enjoy EntertainmenT (I kid you not)

2. You should see a little ">>" sign. That skips to to the end. You can also use the drop down next to the page numbers to go to a specific page.

Any update about this? Was it cancelled? 

No, it's just going to come sometime after other releases like LOTR and Hobbit.

Hello

I requested the DL for the Justice League, I am not sure if the payment link was sent out already or should I still wait? Please let me know 

It should be done soon. 

@Masterblaster FYI

Damn...that's even worse. Thought from the picture that steelbook looked a little bloated lol.

I know a lot of people hate it, but stacked discs don't bother me. At least it saves a little space on the shelf. If this gets a price reduction at some point, that could seal the deal 😁

It will just be the MP Case. If this release is successful, John and KS might consider doing a slip as well, but tbh it is not something I particularly want for this series.

Personally, I'm more inclined to make a beautiful MP Case for each subsequent film and perhaps, if we are lucky enough to reach OHMSS, create a special 60's boxset that will house the first six films.

There are a lot of possibilities with a franchise like that, but for now we're focused on making this title a success... after that, who knows? 😊

Agree 100%. It would be a crime to cover up this beautiful steel with a slip. A box exclusively for members who get all 6 would be fantastic though.

World Exclusive Art

 

WWA = Worldwide Art (like a Best Buy Steelbook packaged with a new full slipcase)

WEA also means "Wallet Extra Affected" 😁

Test sample of the 35mm film can replica for this release

How bizarre, Plain Archive had the exact same artworks in that case?

 

https://plainarchive.com/collections/steelbook/products/the-handmaiden-steelbook-with-full-slip-type-a

They assisted Injoingan with the production, so they received some copies to sell on their site.

But I'm sure the Parasite one someone else mentioned was Plain Archive.

 

 

@Garypool Nope it was Injoingan and they did a very nice job. Check out our release thread
