Nooooooooo

Going to have to double dip

bring it on arrow!!

Excellent, I hope this means I can buy the amaray re-release (2013) at a cheap price. Steelbooks are getting really annoying now.

 

[snowblood]

I have the slipbox release but I'll pick this up along with Day Of The Dead, I already know I'll get the other 3 releases as well before even knowing what the titles are. Luv me some arrow steelbooks

 

[UpsetSmiley]

At least I held off the amaray this time, but can't help but facepalm at the "2000 copies". If Zavvi did a 2k print run every so often it would benefit the collector and maybe even the rate at which these sell out. If every release is limited to 2k and £17.99 what's the point?

Anyway, I might just buy this one

Hell yeah!

Well the first 2 are old school horror movies, so maybe they rest will be the same

Friday the 13th / Nightmare of Elm street/ Poltergeist

sorry no luck has arrow does not own the rights to any of them

Im hoping for the people under the stairs PLEASE ARROW PLEASE

I would normally agree with this and though unlikely, Big Trouble In Little China is a Fox movie and they still managed to get the license for it and produce a quality steel.

But anyone who wants A Nightmare On Elm Street, you can pick up the Canadian Steelbook still.

Are Arrow releases usually region B locked? My friend wants to know, thanks.

 

[Sir Hilary Bray]

I get home about 7:00 tomorrow, do you reckon it will be sold out by then?


If not, I'll get a buddy to pre-order it for me.

I can almost guarantee it will be region locked. Arrow are very Anchor Bay about region coding.
