Prices are a bit better now. Think I'll get strangelove, taxi driver and now snatch. spaced a month apart too

 

[digitalbabe]

FYI, these will be live Friday

£14.99
That's nice to see but in my opinion they should have been £12.99 and would have better chance of selling majority at that price

 

[MisterKIKI]

Any links to the American releases? It's the first I heard of Gallery 88 and just want to check to US wave

 

[JackRegan]

Think I'll just be up for The Boat (hoping it is at least the extended cut,, and praying for the whole mini-series), and Dr. Strangelove.

Taxi Driver design doesn't look too clever, and Snatch is a total no-no odious little Ritche blandfest. Yuck!!

 

[howarmat]

at 14.99 its better. 11-12 would be right with the US/CA releases though

 

[mbennett76]

definitely getting taxi driver and district 9!

 

[Flash]

Any live times?

 

[Sigill]

I wish we could have got the complete wave, Leon was probably my favourite of the bunch. I do like Karate Kid though.

 

[Noodles]

Any live times?

No specific time, but they're supposed to go live midday in the UK.

 

[Baltic]

Live, ordered the bundle

 

[Noodles]

These are now all live. Remember to use code 10CCZ for 10% off!

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Live, ordered the bundle

It'd be nice if there was a bundle price. All 7 for £80 or something.

Anyway, preordered Snatch and Karate Kid

 

[MrBMT]

I wish we could have got the complete wave, Leon was probably my favourite of the bunch.

Agreed, despite having the awesome KimchiDVD Leon Fullslip, I'd definitely have double dipped if it was available in the UK.
I think the current UK Steelbook has boring artwork and is overpriced, it would have been nice to have a decent UK release.

Anyway, I just ordered Das Boot because it sounds interesting and I like the artwork, to be honest I'm not really a fan of any of the other artwork so am skipping the rest.

 

[Butz2k]

Damn! I already ordered Snatch from FS, although I did order Fifth Element too which isn't on here. May order a couple of others from Zavvi

 

[Milchjunkie]

pre-ordered "snatch" and "das boot"
now i can´t decide if i order dr. strangelove too...
is there any information about the languages yet?

 

[Scrubbedup]

Opted for Snatch & Karate Kid, not bad for £27

 

[MisterKIKI]

Das Boot, Easy rider and Karate Kid for myself... Would have loved Leon, but have double dipped too many times since the VHS release

 

[digitalbabe]

http://www.zavvi.com code 15CCZ seems to work with these 15% off if you order from desktop comp.

No way, doesn't work on my phone! Ordered karate kid earlier without knowing about the code!
