Seems to be another re-release with exactly the same contents, only now with a UHD disc, like Fear and Loathing.
No UK edition, no Amazon or Arrow listing yet.

DiabolikDVD has it up for preorder for $32.99.

I'm sure that I'll eventually get this, but not until the price goes down a bit; with tax and shipping my total pre-order cost would be $40.91. For now, I'll stick with my $4.99 digital copy.

Hmmm.

I didn’t buy the Arrow blu ray because it had (some) vertical scratches on the image, unlike the old Universal blu ray. Yes the Arrow is an improvement in other ways, but I noticed the scratches and ended up keeping the old blu ray. I wonder if the scratches will make their way to the 4K release. I’ll have to wait for the reviews.

Arrow don't have the rights for UK release
You would not have seen it listed it on Arrow Films UK store as that's for UK releases only

In regards to Arrow Video USA Website Store listing was live to pre order on Arrow Video USA Store on Friday February 24th at 3 PM (UK Time) and also live same time on Zavvi USA Website Store and also was live with DiabolikDVD - Grindhouse Video websites
Amazon USA can take a few days even a few weeks sometimes for listings to show up in regards to Arrow USA releases

Reminder even though arrow websites look the same they are still separate websites shops
Arrow Films UK Store only sells UK releases
Arrow Video USA Store only sells USA releases
It's also why Arrow Films UK and Arrow Video USA websites have a different url


When using Arrow Films UK Website
To change to Arrow Video USA Store click settings and change region and language to United States
Arrow Video USA Shop website was setup in Summer 2021

Also Zavvi USA is a separate website to Zavvi UK/EU/other International Zavvi websites
Zavvi USA only sells Arrow Video USA releases not Arrow UK releases since summer 2021
Thread listings for USA only releases in regards to Zavvi list as Zavvi USA in purchase links

This is also why Zavvi UK do not sell Arrow Video USA releases since summer 2021

In regards to Arrow Video USA Website Store listing was live to pre order on Arrow Video USA Store on Friday February 24th at 3 PM (UK Time) and also [a lot if unnecessary text]
I know, I've searched the Electronic Virtual Arrow Video US Web Site Internet Store of the United States of America of North American Continent of the Planet Earth, and there were no results yet.
