[Daubt]

this the one i'm going with

 

[Chievera]

 

[Jocelin]

Obvious day 1 purchase.

 

[Space Cadet]

Hmmm...

 

[Lord Vader]

Ah man beautiful set! This might be my first import in a long time.

Disney/Fox still got uk rights?

 

[Lenny Nero]

Whoa, that's what I've been waiting for - a cool simultaneous release of two movies, or a Boxset of both!

You get a booklet in each separate edition, I hope the texts from both are combined in this one.
Or maybe it's better to buy two separate ones, for artwork.

 

[vinny]

is it only in USA or is it also plan to release in UK please ?

and do you think it will be on sale only on Arrow USA or also on Amazon US ?

thank you for your answer

 

[paulboland]

thank you for your answer

Conan the Barbarian
Arrow release is USA licenced from Universal
Distribution rights in USA is with Universal


International distribution rights are with Fox aka now with Disney
That's why it's available on Disney+ in UK/Ireland

I personally prefer the two separate releases to buying both films in 1 set, might well put an order in

Also 6 different threads for this release is ridiculous, should have bundled the 4K & standard Blu-ray into the same for each version and made a maximum of 3 threads

Arrow limited edition UHD and Blu-ray releases are always seperate releases with seperate threads

 

[tommyh84]

Arrow limited edition releases are always seperate releases with seperate threads

Then it's always ridiculous

 

[paulboland]

Then it's always ridiculous

They have different mock ups and specs

 

[ishothim6x]

That ‘chronicles’ box is a bit lazy, like. Think I’ll be going for the two separate releases

 

[Lenny Nero]

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll order separate boxes as well.

Then it's always ridiculous

That's what I was saying a few times before.
I think it's easier for people to find and discuss a release in one thread. Less work for moderators as well.

 

[paulboland]

Amazon will go live in next few days/weeks

The amazon price will start at MRSP $89.95 you won't end paying that higher price
Price will drop to $59.99 or less before release date
Price drop will happen automatically in your order
