Vital Disc Stats: The 4K UltraHD Blu-ray
Species
invades 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in a new three-disc 4K UHD with two Blu-ray Collector’s Edition set from Scream Factory. The film is pressed on a BD-100 disc with two BD-50 discs for the film in 1080p and the bonus features. The discs are housed in a three-disc case sitting on individual trays without being stacked on top of each other. The slipcover is identical to the main insert art, but there is alternative insert art depicting what I believe was the original teaser poster art. Each disc loads to an animated main menu - that are actually identical to the 2017 Blu-ray sets so if you’re flipping discs between sets at home, try not to get confused.

Yes I have. But not many as I never really collected region A blu-ray. Most of the latest 4k UHD collectors editions does not have reversible cover art so it's nice to get one for this sexy alien tv night classic.

It's just copy paste from a section of the review explaining .

Halloween 4K collector's editions have have reversible sleeves with orignal artwork on the Amaray case

Yes some of the recent 4K editions don't have reversible sleeves as those releases they already are using the original artwork on the slipcover and amaray case

It's when artwork that is not the original poster artwork used on slips and amaray case that the reversible sleeves is included on the amaray cases with original poster artwork


Scream Factory some of the 4K UHD releases are already using original poster artwork on the slipcover and amaray that is why they dont have reversible sleeves

Examples of Scream Factory 4K UHD releases already using original poster artwork
Lifeforce
Escape from New York
Candyman
The Howling

Examples of upcoming releases
Scream Factory release of Child's Play 4K UHD collector edition is not using original artwork so that will include reversible sleeve with original artwork

Child's Play 2 and 3 4K UHD collector edition releases are already using original poster artwork so no reason to have reversible sleeve unless they change the slipcover artwork on those releases
