Memento (Blu-ray SteelBook) (101 Films Black Label Series #031) [UK]
- Thread starter Lord Vader
- Start date
Depending on the product and time, items aren't always available internationally. Same with most amazon sites.
Of course they do
But not all products. And for some reason, unknown to me, they don't accept pre-orders for some Blu-ray / 4K products to be shipped to addresses outside UK.
Often they accept international orders for exactly the same product once it's in stock - or even earlier.
Amazon UK
101 Films label releases
You have to wait most times until after release date for delivery option outside UK to be available
So.
Memento arrived direct from 101 Films this morning. No time to open it now but will post some pictures later.
Nice(ish) mailer packaging. Arrived without knocks and bangs.

The J Card is bent at the Title - annoying but I'll be opening it up anyway.
ah yeah, i was wondering whether this was intentional lolThe J Card is bent at the Title - annoying but I'll be opening it up anyway.
They might've FORGOT to correct it

The Steel is pretty good. It's satin for the most part with two or three areas of spot gloss on the front - less so on the back. Mine has two miniscule imperfections on the front(or they might be scratches), this could just be on mine alone but I'd be interested if they're on other people's too.
It's not bad by any means, yet it's not quite there for me and seems lacking that sparkle I was hoping for.
A 7.5/10 Steel.
The Slipcase is nice and solid but the reverse is boring and the front looses the title once the J Card is removed.
The production booklet and short story/essays are lovely quality.
Rest of the stuff isn't great. Paper. Bits of floaty, cheap printed paper with notes written in.
The second disc is housed in a separate folder outside of the steelbook.
All bits fit super snugly inside the slipcase.
I'd say that I'm a tiny bit disappointed overall. Got to say.
Outside of the essay and production booklet, the rest of those extras are weak.
Overall I'd give it a solid 7 out of 10
Owners of the Kimchi release can let out a sigh of relief because it's not a patch on that one. What it is though, is one quarter the cost of that release. For that reason it's a good purchase.
Note: the imperfections may have been caused by placing the unsealed steelbook right next to the extras disc folder which has a rough textured finish. Why can't they just seal the steelbook itself inside the slipcase to avoid this happening.

So the 'Polaroid' photos are not made properly on thicker paper with embossing or spot gloss, to replicate the actual Polaroid photographs?
I think Korean release had that.
Nope. Cheap, thin paper.
Slipcase and booklets are quality materials though.

The imperfections/scratches. I'd be interested to see if this was a printing fault or just my unlucky steel being placed against some extra that's scratched it. They're both on the front, around where he's holding the camera.
I hope I wasn't too negative in the previous post. I like it. I just wasn't blown away. But that doesn't always have to happen I guess, especially at this price point. Yet, with prices continually on the up. Shouldn't we be getting better each time?
I still think, for anyone who doesn't already own the Kimchi release, this new release is an essential purchase.
