Will wait for an inevitable steelbook release I think.....
Agree. I would like to know what implores Arrow to not continue along the route of releasing steelbook version alongside standard though? (Besides the cynical view of rinsing the collectors community) I can only think they have plans to do an extra special deluxe version perhaps?

What is a little concerning along that thought train, is they look like they've dropped the rigid slipbox for this edition? Baffling.

I kind of understood the recent titles like Weird Science etc. getting a lesser grade packaging...

Silence of The Lambs 4k should get all the trimmings though ‍♂️

I hope that is not the case and don’t think you can infer that from any info so far.

True, and they have weirdly omitted that information from non-steelbook Limited releases in the past... that have turned out to be rigid... however that was before the Weird Science, Time Bandits etc. packaging

I think the lack of steelbook option + those packaging choices has left me doubting tbh... I do wish they'd just put rigid ‍♂️... it's a big USP, for my money at least.
 
I think it will almost certainly be a rigid case. Here are some snippets from the product descriptions. I just think they are just different tiers of release.

Weird Science

  • Illustrated collectors’ booklet featuring writing on the film by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and Amanda Reyes
  • Double-sided fold-out poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tracie Ching
  • Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Tracie Ching

SOTL
  • Limited edition packaging with reversible sleeve featuring two original choices of artwork
  • Illustrated collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by Alexandra West, Josh Nelson, Sam Moore and Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
  • Double-sided fold-out poster, featuring two original choices of artwork
  • Six double-sided, postcard-sized lobby card reproduction artcards


Edit...

Hmm. This suggest you might be right? "slipcover"

Either way, will just be pleased to have the 4K with the fixed color timing.

The slip is a Rigid Slipcase aka Slipbox with a O-Card slip as in Slipbox that also has a slipcover

Same style Slipbox that was used with Invasion of Body Snatchers 4K and Blu-ray Limited Editions

There is a unboxing video in that thread link above

Cheers, so similar to the Warriors set. Great news as they are high quality sets for the money.

Ooo @paulboland I'm happy to learn this, thank you! Progression in place of suspected regression is rare & always welcomed :) Absolutely amazing to hear the colour timing has been fixed from Kinos too!

Although now I see deliberation afoot over;

A. Pre order nice new shiny packaging style immediately.

or

B. Wait patiently for the steelbook announcement.

A regular potential dilemma that I have faced previously. I shall endeavour to make the correct & astute call upon this time. I vow to use my wisdom as an avid experienced collector....


..and inevitably decide upon a premeditated double-dip... ffs

Do you get caught for customs when ordering from Arrow site?
I ordered a lot from arrow store direct and only had customs issue with 2 orders


1) A good few months due to change of IOSS number arrow was using I got hit for vat payment.
When it happened I contacted arrow and they refunded the vat and an post handling fee very quickly.

2) A different issue a few months ago with an in stock release I ordered where the electronic declaration arrived late.
An post received the declaration after the parcel had already arrived in Ireland and that resulted in that parcel being returned to sender.

The electronic customs declaration must be sent and received before parcel arrives in Ireland.
I contacted arrow and they sent a replacement order that arrived without any issue.

I told arrow when that happened they or royal mail must make sure the electronic declaration be sent and received before the parcel arrives and is scanned in Ireland.

The parcels arrive quickly in Ireland so that’s why it’s important the declaration be sent same day order is dispatched.

When you see An post tracking say we received notification about your incoming item from sender that means they received the customs declaration in advance.

Hey @paulboland will this slip be the same height as other releases filmarena manta nova etc just for display purposes before I purchase
Same style O-Card slip used with arrow releases of Invasion of the Body Snatchers/The Warriors/American Gigolo

It will have same hight as all other arrow releases that used a slipbox
Do you have any previous arrow slipbox releases

A slipbox width though can vary depending on contents included
