For the first time on home video, a new extended version of MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!

Planet Eternia and the castle of Grayskull are under threat from the evil Skeletor (Frank Langella, Dracula) who wants to take over the planet. A group of freedom fighters led by the heroic He-Man (Dolph Lundgren, Rocky IV) are accidently transported to Earth by the mysterious Cosmic Key, which holds the power to turn Skeletor all-powerful. Once on Earth, He-Man joins alliances with two teenagers as they attempt to find the key.

Amazon price at the moment is MSRP $54.95 it will drop before release date likely to $36 to $38

MVD are the distributor for Arrow in USA
MVD Shop ships to most countries

Arrow store will likely list at some stage in a few weeks time
 
Cliff MacMillan from Arrow Films says these are not limited editions
He did though say We might drop the slipcase some day, but nothing will be limited at this time.

My opinion
If a later release excludes a Slipcase and Artcards then the release that included a slipcase is then limited and the later release is a standard edition as it would be just a amaray case

They might have unhappy customers if at a later date they do a release that excludes the slipcase and artcards as in the original release that did include it was not mentioned was limited

Use of limited covers that situation so any later standard edition might just be a amaray and not include a slipcover or artcards
 
It winds me up when I receive a title without a slip when I know it had one at release. I suppose if you want to make sure you get it then you have to buy it early.
 
Hearing this has a new remixed and restored 5.1 DTS track... about time because been stuck with 2.0 forever! I was hoping for Atmos but any upgrade is welcome.

Also hearing it has Dolby Vision.
 
Amazon posted it up and to begin with they said not sending to UK, so I ordered from MVD Shop. Now Amazon are saying that it is sending to UK. I've paid the same price at MVD, but it says nothing about tax, so I'm thinking they're going to stick 20% on it when it gets here, an extra £9.40. MVD are saying cancellation isn't allowed, which I'm not sure is even lawful.

I just tested Amazon and at checkout it's showing Estimated tax to be collected:
 
Amazon price has dropped to $43.92

In regards to MVD or any USA retailer no cancellations is legal in USA
UK or EU online retail laws don’t apply in USA
The USA retailer can set their own terms and conditions that apply to the state they based in

Oh well, bad news for me then..
Amazon allow cancellation of orders
But it’s nothing new in USA MVD and some other USA retailers sometimes have no cancellation policy in their terms and conditions with pre orders

You can still contact MVD customer service and request a cancellation they may do it but it's not guaranteed they will
Contact them see if they will

I already had, they'd refused. It's coming with fedex international connect, so at least it will arrive in good time. I've just got to hope the tax is included in the charge, but I don't think it is.
