Thanks Wreck, ordered these when they first came live on DiabolikDVD and was getting more and more edgy about the finish on these the closer it got to the release date ;)
 
I'm glad it's getting a good treatment. I knew this one would look good anyway with so many vivid colors. Cannot wait to have this in hand.
 
What do they mean by this ?

[not the same muted colors and weak black levels as previous released versions].

Are they on about the old dvds or the Arrow blurays?

If they are on about the Arrow blurays I though they looked fantastic and I have bought these movies on vhs laserdisc and dvd.

Not sure buddy, i also thought the Arrow prints were great, so i can only assume they are refering to a previous R1 release (DVD)... ;)

Can't wait for this and #2 to be on their way, gloss finish just completes this steel for me :)

I have this on order at DiabolikDVD.com as they ship internationally, but i was wondering if anyone had any idea of when they might start to ship these out, i.e. around a week early or actually on the date?
If anyone has used them before, any info would be great ;)
 
Just spoke to Jesse at DiabolikDVD and he tells me that aparently there is still no official release date for tgis, even though OP says October 29th. He also says Synapse tells him a rough estimate of 1st week in November but they are still finalising a few bits...

Here's the email:
Hello Matt,
There is still no official release date for these titles. * Synapse tells me likely the first week in November, but thy are still working on finishing them up
Thanks
Jesse
 
I haven't used DiabolikDVD for a few years, but it should be noted that UK customs are known to open their packages.

I guess they were looking for "prohibited" material (I was ordering Turkish superhero movies and Four Flies on Grey Velvet.... Honest) , and they might not be doing it these days, but be prepared for the worst ( lots of red tape and notices).

Jesse at Diabolik DVD told me about a week or two ago that Synapse were looking at the first week in November, but its not confirmed... ;)
When did you get your email Rick?
It might have been pushed back even further than that :(
 
Thanks buddy :thumbs:

I guess it will just turn up as and when... Because im an international order DiabolikDVD won't send me a dispatch email for some reason, and because there is no confirmed release date this will just literally arrive at my doorstep one day out of the blue :(
