I gather you pre ordered from Arrow
Great to see they are shipping early again for customers who ordered direct as some previous releases in past few months they only started shipping orders after release date

1-2 weeks early shipping is great for customers who order direct I hope arrow keep providing this with more pre orders

Yes. I cancelled some days ago with Amazon and ordered direct. With free shipping it was the same price as with Amazon for me. I only did it because of better packaging by Arrow. I added with Arrow Points "To Live and Die in LA" and "Hired Hand" for 25 GBP both

Looks like it.

Which Slipcover version ??

As @C.C. 95 pointed out, there is a barebone version. And it looks like comes with a slipcover. It has all the Bluray extras, just not any of the goodies from the boxset. I got it because the boxset will take too much room plus slipcover is cheaper (13 pounds)

I got mine today! I was a little surprised as I hadn't realised it had been dispatched.

I'm going to wait until I get home before I open it up though.

 

[dan8885]

Arrow knocked it out of the park once again! Unbelievable Boxset for a bargain price!

A sturdy Boxset with beautiful art, two Digipacks with 4 discs, a thick 90-100 page Hardcover Book(let), 7 art cards (printed both sides) and a print (printed both sides).
And yes, there's also a complete new 4k restoration of both cuts of the movie on a Blu-ray, with massive bonus features.

Sorry for the direct lightning, it's already dark here. The front artwork looks of course a lot better

Cancelled this, as much as I love the film, too many releases this month and I can't decide whether I am blown away by the look of this or not

What should be different or included that you would feel blown away?

For me, it's even better than I expected. Not to mention it is just 28 EUR for this massive release.

Looks awesome and an absolute bargain for £24! Can't wait for mine to arrive

I don't know to be honest. It's just not making me think must own. I mean it's nice it's got a cinematic poster on one side and the other an image of Frank, some cards with Frank on them and then that make up Frank, Frank on the front, all same image slightly disappointing and fairly standard digipack holding discs. Hmm not sure. I was looking forward to it but with so many releases this month will need further thought. It's a good buy.
