Awesome news pbtour4il. That looks very nice! I won't need the UK version anymore

 

[digitalbabe]

Eh, I'll stick with the UK ed, sad to see that the same art will be used again, oh well...

 

[Asopp]

Nothing special, so pass for me

I guess this movie will be the same as Jack Reacher having the same artwork everywhere.

 

[digitalbabe]

Rod, yes, seems that way...

 

[lgans316]

UK version will have a slip that blends with the artwork.

 

[lgans316]

To me the slip isn't looking special. So will stick with the UK SB which I will buy if it drops below 10.

 

[VRob98]

The slip looks like exactly the same as the UK one, except with Chinese characters.

For me one of the big draws of Asian steels used to be unique quality of the slips, which often featured the 'continued art' design. Now that the distributors and designers of UK steels have upped their game to match the Asian releases in that respect, I'm no longer tempted by Asian releases which differ to the UK ones only in having the movie's title in another language.

Hansel & Gretel was a great Taiwan release, but I'm not seeing any reason to pick this up over the UK one.

UK run is probably close to 10k, taiwan will be a much lower print run

 

[lgans316]

But the UK version will sell more than than TW version which will be bought only by hardcore colelctors.

Lower yes, but I suspect a lot bigger than many people assume. Check the list of recent titles on JSDVD and you have to go all the way back to 'Ted' at the beginning of the year to find a title that's actually out of stock.

Taiwan do produce some great releases, but I don't ever make the mistake of thinking a Taiwan release will be rare these days.
