Wasn't expecting us to get this because of the recent steelbook release, but very happy we are! Disappointed to see that's the reverse artwork though... Laurie can usually do so much better.

As i have said in another post I have the laserdisc and some scenes were slightly altered for the DVD and blu-ray. I wonder if they will be on it.

Us collectors are suckers and they know it. They could have waited and released this as a steelbook instead, but no..let's fleece them of more money!

Oh? Only difference I'm aware of is the Taco Bell/Pizza Hut scene which are both included with this according to the content info.

A steelbook was only just released by the studio itself (Warner Bros) about a year ago though, so I can understand why Arrow opted not to do another.

Does Arrow use thick amarays? So one could stick a steelbook in?

HMV sold out weeks ago so not applicable. Don't know about Zavvi, so this may apply.
Take your word on Arrow, seems legit.

Some customers who pre ordered early direct with arrow films store got their orders dispatched yesterday or today but not all customers orders have been dispatched yet
I pre orderd on the day it went live on Friday September 27 that makes a difference when doing pre orders with Arrow Films UK Store.

Arrow Films UK got delivery of some of the stock but not all stock was received yet and that is why they changed the release date to December 16
So some customers orders instead will be dispatched based on that new release date.

Some customers who pre ordered direct with arrow store today got an email sent sorry about the delay
That email is automatically sent due arrow store internal listing still having release date as December 9 and not having enough stock to dispatch by that date.
