As distribution rights for Conan the Barbarian outside USA/Canada is with Disney the Blu-ray discs in any of the arrow Conan USA/Canada editions was always going to be Region A locked.

so a cardboard mailer/jiffy bag? or did they upgrade to larger boxes with sufficient padding?

Usual box packaging for box sets was used.
Was not a cardboard mailer.

Arrow USA or UK webstores don’t use jiffy bags.

Ofc. But as most collectors know, from the smaller publishers (like Arrow) what is listed is far from often the truth.

I have my fair share of Reg A listed dics (even discs that have an A printed on them) but in reality they’re Region ABC (unlocked).

Since this was discussed earlier in the thread I thought I’d try it out and list the result for other interested.

Carry on!

Ofc. But as most collectors know, from the smaller publishers (like Arrow) what is listed is far from often the truth.

I have my fair share of Reg A listed dics (even discs that have an A printed on them) but in reality they’re Region 0 (unlocked).

Since this was discussed earlier in the thread I thought I’d try it out and list the result for other interested.

Carry on!

I made it clear in thread that the Blu-ray discs would be Region A locked as that info came direct from James Flower arrow production manager.
That's why It's listed in notes that the Blu-ray extras disc will be Region A locked
The Blu-ray Extras disc been region A locked was confirmed a few months before release from screener discs sent to reviewers and arrow employees from arrow usa distributor MVD.

For future reference
Arrow Blu-ray discs will be region free when it's a title getting a release same time in USA/Canada/UK
USA discs always list A and UK list B regardless if it's a title been released same time in USA/UK

Arrow Video USA/Canada only releases blu-ray discs are Region A locked.
Some rare encoding mistakes a good few years ago resulted in a tiny number of USA only releases aprox 2 to 3 releases been region free
Arrow USA Django Blu-ray was one of those releases.

Arrow Video UK only releases blu-ray discs are mostly Region B locked bar a few exceptions.

Amazon hasn't screwed me yet in 25 years, let's see if this will be the first time.

Not that anyone cares, but no, they decided not to break their record of excellence and shipped out my 2 copies for $43 each today.

43 + taxes and shipping ? All included from arrow direct was 61.49

Yep, $43 with no tax to a Delaware address and free shipping. I will pay for shipping of a larger package later on, about $180 for ~7kg, which works out to roughly $6 per edition, so it'll be closer to $50 shipped.

”This BD is not compatible with your player’s region code”

Precisely. And so I hope, perhaps pointlessly, for a UK release.

Arrow Store has some stock of Chronicles 4K edition

Arrow Store has some stock of Chronicles 4K edition

I wonder if that's going to become more common on future releases.

Received set from Amazon which indeed was release date of 20th February as listed there and not in this thread
Those of you who missed it and don't care for bonuses, single release of both is listed for release in April.

The release date was unequivocally January 30th. Choosing to stir controversy with your first post upon returning is an unwise decision.

A release on February 20th and a designated release date of January 30th are distinctly different matters. For your information, which you seem to have overlooked, February 10th is mentioned in the original post as well as on Amazon.

Threats? What exactly do you believe you are accomplishing? Harassment constitutes a form of threatening. Be clearly informed that my decisions to ban you are fully justified by your actions, including threats. Should you engage in harassment once more, you will swiftly find yourself on the path to being banned.
