Also, I've just had a dispatch e-mail from Zavvi to let me know the steelbook has been sent.

Yeah, mine's been sent too. Oh well, procrastinating now is futile....

But hey, I've had an unexpected windfall this week, so I can afford to be frivolous, it don't happen often...

And I'm still waiting on a couple of Ludivico-Instituto discs to arrive

I hope they're a genuine outfit

[Daemonia]

eBay have now given me dispatch info. Seems legit LOL

[Daemonia]

Looks like my Halloween viewing is sorted then.

Oh yeah, still have the Halloween steelie on order

[Daemonia]

Once my steelie arrives I'll provide the commentary on it and let you all know what's in it.

I've left it too late to cancel it... oh well...

No, not at all. The restoration is excellent. This is another version of a fantastic film. I noticed a drop in quality of the new scenes, but the scenes have been remastered to almost match the theatrical print. Everyone will be very pleased with what they see.
Watch this new clip of the song 'Gently Johnny' and you will see how good the restoration of that scene is compaired to the normal directors cut version.

Which box set will be the best to get for longevity? i love the film and also would like the sound track but really what i want is a replacement for my Box set that i sold to upgrade to Blu-Ray.

Nosferatu@Cult Labs - when you say 'write my review' where can i find this? i assume right here on Cult Labs? i would like to read that if you can make me aware of it?

The best box set is probably the three disc one from Amazon is that has the soundtrack and will, apart from being Blu-ray, be a like for like replacement for the DVD set you sold.

When my review is written and online, it will be on my website (Film 365) and I'll probably put the link somewhere in the post on here and/or the other Wicker Man thread.

I recently bought ROTLD and Basket Case steelbooks and their delivery is super-fast, and well-packaged.
