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. 

  

Ordered both, awaiting the yellow box from Arrow and undecided whether to cancel the red box from Amazon. I agree the latter has better artwork inside. What made me order the yellow box after ordering the red box was the Chinese characters on the front.

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. 
 

 

My golden harvest should be here Saturday!!  Excited 

[extantsrevenge]

And some regular releases I got in the lst few weeks.

 

 

Also got the recent MCU Mondo for a very good price.

Got my HDz LotR sets. Very nice. 
Silver set still looks good compared to the Golds though. 

Just a reminder what being a long term member of MP has meant for many HDz collectors.

Mine too. Interestingly, also at the same corner. So it seems to have happened before shipping.

Seems it’s happened to a ton of customers.  Arrow is giving me a 10% refund since it has no replacements to offer.  Lame.

Guess I got lucky

This is depressing to read. I remember when I started collecting, I never had this anxiousness about receiving a damaged edition, regardless of the retailer, and very rarely did my items arrive in less than mint condition.

Extended delays I can live with, but now that fear of getting a damaged item is always there, sadly. 

Collecting Premiums and steels has really become a risky affair these last few years, so I guess I’m ‘lucky’ in that I buy very few editions and therefore spare myself added stress.

I agree, this is a problem that has become more prevalent the last few years. I also have started to check the discs of each release. Before 2020, I would just check for scratches and damage on loose discs, as I never had any playback issues otherwise. I started checking due to complaints from other collectors receiving a large amount of dirty, scratched discs. I would say about 25% of the discs I receive now have fingerprints on them, and about 10-15% have slight scratches. It doesn't matter if it's a boutique label or a Disney release, it's the same problem.

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…

I thought about posting pictures of my corners but @Gary K might ban me so I'm just gonna go sit in the.............

 

[MikeH5856]

Man, my competitive streak and collector's desire is starting to overwhelm me. I kinda want to order a copy of Arrow's Bruce Lee set just to see how badly damaged the corners on my copy could get! I feel like I'm missing out now!
