Mine was perfect. Peeled off the info sheet and everything was ok. Left both Demons and Demons 2 on the table, picked them up later and both of them were unstuck at the edges betwen the slip and the clear window. First time that's ever happened with one of my Arrow slipcases.

Anyone notice the spelling mistake on Demons 2. I can't remember what it was, but it's the subtitle on one of the alt covers, it's missing a letter! Pretty shoddy QC, I have to say. There's no excuse for a premium product to have such a blatant mistake on it!

I couldn't agree more. We are fans of Arrow, and we know that we support a small company with a great catalogue and fine releases. That's why I won't replace my copies of Demons and Demons 2, although both have the already mentioned slightly shoddy slipcover.

However, gaining a whole bunch of new Arrow afficionados will be a pretty tough job with all those recent delays, printing errors, and packing mistakes.

I think it's about time to fire a few asses; looking for another company to print the slipcases and to assemble the packages should be worth considering, too, as they messed up big time pretty often over the last few months. Arrowdrome's The Bird With The Crystal Plumage (no alternate artwork), The House by the Cemetery (wrong disc), Demons/Demons 2 (delays, slipcase trouble)... I really hope that this list won't continue.

Nobody would talk about one problematic release every once in a while - that's perfectly normal, and every label has to cope with that. After the huge problems with The Beyond last year and the recent (slight) issues, however, Arrow should really turn the corner now.

I like Arrow very much, and I don't want them to be labelled as "the nice little label with the constantly messed up releases".

Just my two cents. Feel free to disagree.

Greetings!

PS: The spelling mistake is "THE ULTIMATE HORROR EXERIENCE".

The packaging has a typo? HOLY SHIT! I'll never be able to enjoy the film ever again! All I'll be able to think about is that missing letter! Bad times we live in

I can see where you're coming from!

Nevertheless, it's a shame that otherwise excellent releases like Demons and Demons 2 are spoiled by a sloppy quality control.

Don't get me wrong, we're still talking about two excellent Blu-rays here - but they would be even better without such faux pas.

Greetings!

I just got mine today and both windows are badly creased. I just came back from a run and in less than an hour out of the plastic looks like the windows on both are about to fall off. Ill have to order the steel book now so i dont have to touch these ones again so nothing else happens. Sad i know but ever more sad is im not lying ha ha. Apart from the windows i love the look of the black slip case and the comics look great.
