Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (Blu-ray SteelBook) (Manta Lab Exclusive No. ?) [Hong Kong]

Dear Customers,

We apologize for the delay with the [ME#29] Joker Shipment. We wanted to ship them out on schedule but due to many reasons, we couldn't do so. However, we have found solution for our shipping now. Please read more about our June news.

1. Joker Delivery Delay
- One Click Reprint: During packing, we have found a problem with the One Click Box and we have decided to reprint the entire batch of boxes again to ensure the quality of the box. For the box orders, we expect it to be reprinted in 3 weeks and ship them on 29th of June. Again, we apologize for the delay.
Single slip shipment: DHL offers a shipping to regions that were suspended or blocked by Post office and we are happy that all shipments (except for box) will begin this week. Due to finding the reliable shipment company was the reason why we couldn't ship our products and the late delivery from Manta Lab. We are happy to announce that all slip shipments will be shipped by this week. Again, we apologize for the delay with shipments and we will bear the higher cost of using DHL for our shipments for this release.

2. Once Upon... Steelbook Delivery
- More regions opening with Post Office: From June, more regions are opening with Airmails and we believe shipments will not be a problem. Also, we have DHL agent to ship our goods now so it won't be a problem with shipping.
- Production Schedule: Everything is on time and we expect things to start shipping out before the release date.

3. Birds of Prey Pre-order
- Pre-order Schedule: We expect to have a pre-order in the first week of July but we want to finalize shipping for Joker first before confirming the date.
- Shipping issues: Again, DHL and Post Office will be ready by July to cover all regions. We may need to recalculate the shipping cost again to adjust our current shipping cost but we expect the cost to be not too different from using Post Office. However, there's extra fee involved with current shipping situation so recalculation of shipping fee may be needed from our side.

4. 2020 Schedule
- Many great releases: You may refer to the other image for the releases that are under designing with Manta Lab. Some may be able to release and some may not due to approval and design issues.


Thank you very much.
Collectong.

What’s the point of releasing it now when 4K is probably coming sometime soon. Would probably make sense to wait for 4K.

Outside of ‘Once Upon a Time....’ none of Tarantino’s movies have hit 4K yet. What makes you think the Kill Billls are underway? ‘The Whole Bloody Affair’ hasn’t even been released yet, and that’s been in the rumor mill for over a decade.

Inglorious basterds will be released in 4K this summer. It’s clearly only a question of when exactly Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill will hit 4K.

Hope they perfect their Kill Bill releases... Nova came close, but messed up the back art and slips IMO.

their steels imo are fine and the lenti for Vol 2 is one of novas best but tbh, the zavvi steels has the best art for them (not the double feature steel). Novas vol 1 full slip (yellow one) is seriously lacking on finish though.

I would be very happy with the 2 zavvi steels getting turned into slips. Or even the Nova Vol 2 lenti as steelbook art

Fronts are great, but backs are awfully tacky IMO.

Would also love the art from Zavvi's on slips though!

This is what I thought. Everyone keeps mentioning 4K but only inglorious has been announced. And still a few months off. I can’t see him doing it to many others. Maybe hateful 8 and django. Possibly kill Bill but I thought he was against all this ultra hi definition and likes his films looking old school. And inglorious, django and hateful suit it is because of how picture esque certain scenes are so they would benefit in 4K. Kill Bill most likely would too but not the others imo

They'd need to do a double pack of these for me to bite.
Dont want both parts taking up space.

Two discs in one set for the whole Kill Bill saga would be better IMO.

Will stickntl the Zavvi double pack black steel for now

But still interested in what Manta comes up with

Basterds is with Universal; their only Tarantino title btw. I don't know who retains the rights to Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bills (Miramax?) but one thing has nothing to do with the other.

Arrow Video will be releasing Inglorious basterds
I don't know if they will be doing a steelbook but you can be sure they will be doing a limited edition

With Arrow recently starting to to 4K UHD
A 4K release from Arrow is a possibility
