This is why the prices will keep on rising.Price is super subjective but I’m surprised to see so much chatter on it when it’s a 4-disc set (2 4K discs) plus the soundtrack in some super deluxe (and beautiful IMO) packaging. Arrow deluxe versions have always felt worth it to me for a long time. I’ve paid a lot more for a lot less.
Ordered on Diabolik for myself in the US.
The price is very high when compared to the original Arrow LE set - originally limited to 5,000 (Blu-ray) numbered copies but increased to 10,000 before release - which only cost about £16 and for that you got all of this:-

Unless my memory is playing tricks on me I remember this set - despite the great price and despite stock going up in flames during the London riots -, hanging around for years so wondering if the same fate will befall the new set at not such a great price.
BTW keep an eye open for the 'golden ticket' inside 42 of the sets which is a prize of an airplane ticket to Haneda airport in Tokyo with a connecting flight to the island of Hachijô-Kojima.

Fully agree with both of you.Completely agree with you
People tend to pay much more for a single steelbook in a fullslip, this looks like a decent box set with exciting extra materials. Not saying it is cheap, but imo it is very far from overpriced.
Got this set on my shelves, but as I remember price was around 30-35 GBP.The price is very high when compared to the original Arrow LE set - originally limited to 5,000 (Blu-ray) numbered copies but increased to 10,000 before release - which only cost about £16 and for that you got all of this:-

Amazon will be available to order after release date for those based outside UKAmazon UK unavailable for me too. Looks like UK shipping only.....
Personally I feel that the price is no different to what we pay for some steelbooks. But I am willing to pay the price for this as I love this movie, and feel we are getting our money's worth. We are not only getting the 1st movie in 4K (and both cuts on two seperate 4K discs as well) , but the sequel (again both cuts on two seperate discs) as well (which may not be everyone's cup of tea), as well as loads of extras & quite a bit of tat, as well as a cd soundtrack.
For those who think it's expensive, I'm sure that they will release a standard version down the line. Cannot wait to receive this and watch it once again.

The price you are referring to is very likely with Arrow promotion, but I could be wrong. It was a long time ago
Strange...Ordered on 11 December 2010

Not a promotion and was in fact even cheaper @£14.99 before going up
It's to do with covid-19 and brexit@paulboland why no preorderd outside UK anymore for amazon ?
