Looks like a nice set. I haven't seen Mona Lisa but really liked The Long Good Friday.

 

[snowblood]

I'll be picking this up, I'll get the steelbook too as i collect all Arrow steel.

I love these big boxsets Arrow are starting to release more and more of.

It's currently £33.97 on Amazon which is pretty good for those of us outside the UK.

Received an email this morning to say that the release date has been set back, and we should now expect to receive this set between the 21st and 23rd of May.

Si - if you haven't seen Mona Lisa you've really missed something mate. Very special film.

And, if it's any recommendation, a fave of Mum's and her taste in film was always very good

This makes me look forward to Arrow's upcoming Videodrome boxset. It's my favourite Cronenberg film and will surely be of a similar standard to this.

I agree the packaging and artwork for Videodrome looks amazing I have it on order already with Amazon UK but I may order it from Arrow Films instead as they ship to customers sometimes 2-4 weeks before the official release date and with recent orders from Arrow Films online shop they have been delivered with decent packaging protected with bubble wrap for steelbooks and box sets

Awesome Price for this, just copped it along with Videodrome for 24,99 pound

Society was my first Slip from Arrow, quality is amazing. Need more of those in my life

 

[Sigill]

Thanks @Lukesablade, that's a great price!

 

[garabe]

I got this for £17.99 last night (assuming it still ships) but looks like Amazon are sold out now. 3rd party cheapest offer.

 

[paulboland]

I'm not surprised considering the price Amazon were selling at £17.99 was a bargain price and I would say a lot ordered at that price
It's still available from Arrow Video but It's possible when Amazon get new delivery of stock the price won't be £17.99
