Watched these films so much as a kid. Wouldn’t mind checking them out again to see if they hold up to how I remember them. Probably not

Yes, and have gotten 2 emails from zavvi of delayed shipping without saying why it's delayed.

Are they still part of arrow or just on there own now? As they seem to use similar ordering and contacting them set up.
Only difference is zavvi uses one off shipping on more than one item purchased and arrow uses shipping cost based on size of order.
But trying to get a recent disc replacement from arrow feels like I am i am dealing with Zavvi to be honest just find it weird if they was still part of arrow they have it before others.
