The Black Phone (4K+2D SteelBook) (Collector's Edition) [UK]
- Thread starter samdavies
- Start date
The licencing model here AFAIK means elevation sales are going to handle their distribution in the UK (same as lionsgate, sony, disney etc..), rather than it being in house/with WB.
If it's anything like Sony or Disney, it'll mean books are closed for sub licensing. It's unclear how that will effect Universal's longstanding relationship with Arrow.
I hadn’t seen this post when I asked you the same question in the Soho thread yesterday. That’s a real shame. There’s been a few I’ve skipped due to not liking the film or edition but overall for most of them they just got better and better. Some of the editions this year are my favourite for the year and better than some premiums so thanks for that. Gutting to hear these may not continue and I’m also sorry to hear that comes to an end for you
Cheers for some awesome sets
Am I right in assuming the 4k disc in this set has the 'too dark' transfer that the US discs has?
I've only got the Turbine mediabook release for this and transfer on that is apparently far superior and does look nice...

Until you hear otherwise, this is a logical assumption. The UK edition is also from Universal.
This is being re released. 
WTF. It's also limited to 2500.
Is this the same 2500 as last time?
Have they found more of the original Limited 2500?
Bit of a slap in the face to people who bought a limited set a year ago. It's essentially (or likely exactly) the same release.
What is Universal doing ffs?
Weird and downright bs if they're releasing another limited 2500 that are exactly the same.

Edit: looks like they've changed a few things. Slipcase is now soft touch and UV spot gloss. Different poster and a "new" production booklet.

It's not.
There are some subtle differences in the marketing notes for the set.
Slipcase is now soft touch and UV spot glossed, different poster and a new production booklet..
I dunno. Am I wrong. Is this the same set?
Should we even care?

Old Set
New Set

It's the same set mate. They've tweaked the HMV artwork (maybe because it hasn't sold out). Poster is double sided with both artworks. They've just added the specs to make it sound a little fancier, and in fairness it's what it always has been e.g. soft touch etc
Maybe, but it still says release date December 2024 underneath, so.....got any other source than this?
I was just skipping through HMV pre orders list and it was on there.
I swear. Now it's gone.
I'm going mad this morning. Too much caffeine on an empty stomach.
Jeez, I'm losing it this morning. Its like one of those spot the difference games we got as kids in the Sunday papers.
Think I need to drink less caffeine on the mornings
Haha I don't blame you being suspicious after what WB tried in the past and sets like that new similar Nobody set too. (Which is the blueprint for companies to work around the whole legality on "limited to" that WB ended up adhering to with Elf, and since then tbf). It is a bit of a minefield now.Jeez, I'm losing it this morning. Its like one of those spot the difference games we got as kids in the Sunday papers.

Wish they'd 'find' some more copies of Hard Target. I missed that one
