It's a shame that with all the great work that it sounds like they've done on this, that they haven't included the Italian theatrical cut as well, just for completeness. It wouldn't have been that hard to make it a branching option on the extended edition disc.

edit actually they sort of have looking at the full details, by letting you select scenes
 
Payment taken from Arrow. Proper hyped for this!
Same and my local postal carrier An Post has already received the tracking data.

I expect delivery will be at the weekend or on Tuesday
Monday is a Bank Holiday in Republic of Ireland and An post don’t do delivery on BH

Arrow have got the stock early as the release date is listed as August 11

Thank god. I wasn't thinking, and I ordered a bundle of movies a long while ago- and I forgot that they don't ship until they are all in stock. So I have had a whole bunch of movies just sitting there until TGTBATU arrived! (And the additional delay added insult to injury:LOL:)
