Just wanted to post the same. With Arrow I pay minus a few reward points 27 GBP shipped. With Amazon it's 37,50 GBP shipped atm. Maybe I order with Arrow this time ..

@spass @C.C. 95 @Noodles @tridon @Flloydo @bigrob @Sigill @harry

Amazon price will drop as it's the MSRP price
They will drop the price before release date

But it will probably not cheaper than the 27 GBP shipped from Arrow I think.
I ordered for now but I'll keep an eye on the Arrow store. This will probably sell out very fast.

Thanks @dan8885 , preordered

Amazon prices have been ending up lot cheaper for Arrow Video pre orders recently
Nearly all of my pre orders price dropped a lot

They drop the price and then increase
If you pre order the pre order price promise will give you the lower price if ordered before price drops

I know about the pre order price promise, we got also Amazon over here.
But don't forget I pay international shipping at Arrow and Amazon. And with Arrow I can safe those in Reward Points.
That was my point. But I pre-ordered anyway with Amazon and will keep an eye out on Arrow. Thanks though

 

[Noodles]

Thanks for the heads up @dan8885.

I've pre-ordered with Amazon for now, because like @paulboland I also expect the price to drop to the same as Arrow's, if not cheaper!

Arrow Video has posted
For those wondering about the packaging, this release will be in a thick cardboard slipcase (as thick as the ones used for Six Gothic Tales, Hellraiser and so forth)

Thanks, Paul! I will bookmark that!
(although the announcement about the packaging makes it sound like it may be worth the extra few £ for great packaging!)

Why is Amazon £35??
That's pretty steep particularly for not a steelbook? Sadly far too much for us

Amazom will reduce the price before release date can be a small amount reduction or a lot
If you pre order with amazon uk and price drops after you ordered you get the lower price

HOLY ISH !!!!!!!!

I'm so in!!! AMAZING

@spass @Flloydo @PunkNinja @tridon @Sigill @AlienKing @C.C. 95 @harry

Ah so this is where everybody is. I was in the other thread thinking why it's kinda quiet.
I'm definitely in man. I'll probably skip the Japanese release and stick to this.

 

[Flloydo]

**** it,

I've stuck an order in. Love the film too much, desperate to have it in HD, the package and art look amazing, book sounds cool and the extras are big and I don't own any arrow box sets yet.

And I'll no doubt get a steel anyway if it ever happens

I also hope the price drops with Amazon

Rare for me to order box sets and that's this and the man who fell to earth box set in the next couple of months

You wont regret it as it's very possible this might sell out before release date

The Reaction to this release I would not be surprised if it sells out fast

What are arrows print runs on these box sets or is that never known?

Such a cult film too so imagine it could sell out

Might stick it on tonight, that will be the 3rd time this year lol

I will ask them during the week what the print run is
These releases can be 2,000 or 3,000 or 5,000
They no longer do high print runs for limited editions
It's number 2 best seller Blu-ray already on Amazon only beaten by Captain America Civil War
I will take a guess this will sell out before release date

 

[Last Lizard]

This will sell out in no time. Don't delay or you'll face the wrath of the scalpers.

 

[Flash]

Don't say that guys, will have to sell kidney to get this lol but don't want it to sell out

 

[cooey]

Don't say that guys, will have to sell kidney to get this lol but don't want it to sell out

Then why not just pre-order from Amazon. They don't charge until it ships, it will Reduce in price regardless and you know you're guaranteed a copy. At worst if you need to cancel then you can.

Nice and easy

Went to look at this on Amazon and typed in Donnie Darko and this came up, want to try and pretend I didn't see it.
