Arrived yesterday. No sign of the screen archives order shipped on the 12th. As soon as I start worrying then the things usually arrive so hopefully soon.

I put in an order for Grizzly over a month ago, and it only just arrived. It said it arrived in the country 2 and a half weeks ago, but when it finally arrived on my door step two weeks late, it had customs stickers from Germany on it.

I emailed them literally an hour before it arrived, and then sent one saying it arrived with German stickers, and here's what they said:

"We have been having a lot of problems with mail to Australia and the UK
being routed differently and delaying delivery times. This has to do with
the postal system directly and we have no control over it but we do hope
that they get it together as this has caused a lot of issues the last few
months."

So I'd sit tight for about a month after shipping maybe, that's how long it took me from SAE. Not impressed, especially after stellar prior shipping, but at least it arrived.

Thanks for the info. Its a bit odd, Diabolik orders arrive way quicker. As you said, because of the premium on postage its a bit of a wait!

I've complained in the past about Diabolik's and SAE's postage prices, which to Australia aren't exactly cheap.

However, Diabolik has amazing service, where as SAE has now proven their postage to be a bit unreliable. The supplied tracking number only works through their website, and says it arrived in Australia on the 2nd of October when it clearly didn't, as they admitted themselves in the email....

This is a great film and I'm happy to see it out on home video! I saw this at a film festival in Sheffield years and years ago and found it to be very chilling.

Pay day! And another crazy Japanese blu-ray added to the collection in here.

Anyone seen Frankenstein vs the mummy was think of given it a watch tonight

Not been on here for a while but these are the most recent purchases I've made over the last few months


Edit: no idea why it's in its side. Ah well.

Finally got round to buying Odeon's Blu-ray of Blood On Satan's Claw.

Wow...I have to ask why Risky Business on Jap import?

Risky Business? that's The Hard Way!

Errr yeah...that's what I meant..that film with James Woods..surprised it wasn't clear that when I said Risky Business I meant The Hard Way :lol:

My question stands vis-Ã*-vis The Hard Way

Ah, I see my Idiosyncrasies aren't know to everyone here yet. Prepare to be astounded! [emoji38] I hate (with a passion) UK covers with both UK & Irish ratings logos on them. No need for 6 logos plastered all over the covers as far as I'm concerned, coupled with my preference for original poster artwork to be used on blu-rays & dvd's (even if it is the Japanese theatrical poster), and there was only one choice for me with The Hard Way. [emoji16]

Whoa! So we're not in PQ, AQ or extras territory here? Purely packaging presentation? Good for you, set a standard and insist on it :)

Picked up six shameless and bagged two shameless bags [emoji1] I'll be the coolest fella in Asda!

Haha, yep! When I set a criteria, I try to stick to it as best I can. [emoji23]

This week's new arrivals.
(Second pic top left is Lenzi's Eyeball for those that don't recognize the text)

Have some reward points converted into store credit with HMV (because stuff using them in competitions.) and bought myself this one...

Not bought yet but I will definitely be swinging by HMV to pick up 'Splatter University' tomorrow. I am tempted by 'SS Experiment Camp' too against my better judgement. For me, the whole Nazisploitation thing is ripe for the High Rising treatment since I don't think the subject has been covered before ... finding those who were involved and are prepared to contribute might be a different matter though!!

The Exorcist Anthology (RB Blu). Probably the worst packaging on Blu-ray that I own. Very flimsy digipack with the 6 discs housed in slots (well they would have been were they all not loose when it arrived). This deserved a way better release as it looks cheap, even the old UK DVD is far superior to the Blu.

Also received in past few weeks
The Exterminator 2 (Japan Blu)
Turkey Shoot (Blu)
Runaway (Blu)
Tremors Attack Pack (Blu)
Dark Matter season 1 (DVD) I really enjoyed this sci-fi show, looking forward to season 2

I've been wanting to upgrade my tremors dvds, any chance if you know yet if the Blu's are worth the upgrade mate? :)

Picked up Burying the Ex and They Live in SD; and Jurassic World and the remake of Poltergeist in HD.

Not had a chance to watch any of them yet, but other reviews have the attack packs Part 1 is nothing special but the best version available, the others appear to be standard to good quality. I picked it up from all your music as it was fairly cheap at the time.

Just picked this up in Asda. Down to £8.

Can't believe we still don't have Xtro BD's. Come on someone!

Managed to get the other 88 films Blu that i wanted in the Fopp sale for £6.

The original art is great but this new cover/DVD art is about as ugly as it gets. I reversed the sleeve. :)

It was as if they were going with an Australian Wolf Creek type vibe to the cover for some reason, but it's a work of art compared to the new art for the Doctor Mordrid dvd....

Jaysus thats shocking

On the topic of shit artwork i forgot to post that i picked this up last week in HMV
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10...9370aa5d94.jpg
Has to be one of the ugliest covers I've ever seen.

What is going through the minds of the people that decide on artwork like these.:confused:

Goodness knows. Its beyond me that Final Cut, the label responsible for the both the older dvd and this new blu can decide to use such crap art.

should have stuck with this!

Blind buy arrival:

That is bad. The new art for T Trap isn't the wrost quality, i just feel it doesn't do much for the conent of the film. it's still a great release and for £6 i ain't moaning. :)

Pre-ordered from Zavvi:

http://images2.static-bluray.com/mov...3022_large.jpg

Limited to 1,000 copies.

Cancer research grab for £1.(at first I thought it was the BD:lol::lol:)

buys
 

Charlies farm on dvd which was pretty shite, been waiting for bride of re-animator on special edition blu for ages, second sight let it go and arrow have went quiet so ordered the german steelbook blu with the first two on. Bit of a re-animator fanatic so will end up buying arrows when they release it, still need to buy seconds.

Don't usually shop at HMV as I find them expensive overall plus I have to go out of the house!.... but managed pick up this lot for £55, not bad me thinks.
