Do you have insider information about the slip quality, @paulboland?
I mean the UK one was relatively thin, and arrived with bumped corners thanks to the wonderful packaging of Zavvi...
I was hoping for a US release, and a sturdier slip similarly to pretty much all of their current releases like Hills Have Eyes, The Thing, Carrie, etc.

Arrow video replied on twitter saying it'll be the sturdier cardboard

Great, thanks @tonovember!
Anyone ordered from DiabolikDVD? Do they use cardboard mailer and/or box for packaging, or cheap jiffy bags like Zavvi...?

@zoltan_g
DiabolikDVD is good with packaging but shipping costs is expensive if you are based outside USA
