Judging by the packaging, it looks like you're gonna have one of those 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles in there from 'All Your Music'. :lol:

Looks like a work of art!!

Got mine through too, can't wait! Jubilee weekend will be all about this film, I might even finally get round to starting The Complete History of Return Of The Living Dead.

Looks great, although Second Sight haven't quite got the idea of a steelbook right yet. Printed logo on the front, silly blu-ray banner, and all that info printed on the back of the steelbook. But it's a small price to pay for ROTLD with the original unaltered soundtrack and the More Brains documentary.

The only thing not listed on the back is that it has 2 trailers as well. I was kinda disappointed when I looked at the back and saw there were no trailers, but they're definitely there. :)

Just opened it. It was a dvd, Jesse Stone: Innocents Lost. Surprisingly,the box, etc is perfect. Phew! Only thing was, thank god it was a new, sealed dvd. The wrapper is covered in sticky residue from the packaging.

I HATE that, and usually give a feedback of 3/5, mentioning that it is because of the poor packaging.

Picked up these three from HMV on the way home yesterday...
£8 each & £5 for The Thing. :)

...and when I got home, this had arrived from HMV.com... :woot:

Yay!!

Looks like a pretty damn good release overall.
Would have looked better without the BBFC rating on the front though...

I was a sceptic when I got my first orders from AYM, but I have rarely had any problems with damage - certainly no more than I have from padded packaging. I think that vacuum plastic is very tough and actually quite a good way of doing it.

And I buy A LOT from AYM.

I received loads of packages like that and, bar one occasion, they've all been fine.

Looks like a great set. I ordered mine from The Hut as I had a 10% voucher. However, they are waiting for stock and I'm waiting for my Steelbook!

This package that arrived today could make Stephen vomit

I watched my copy a few days ago and it looks and sounds outstanding, a vast improvement from the DVD. It helps that 12 Angry Men is one of the best films ever made with taut direction, and brilliant screenplay and superb performances by the ensemble cast.

That's very strange as they have released several Steelbooks before, including The Texas Chain Saw Massacre three disc DVD set.

Maybe you should volunteer to QC their Steelbooks and artwork!

I have almost all those BU movies on the pics myself, but the boxes are great, and yes "Shock" is great. One of my faves.

Tucker & Dale VS Evil £3 on HMV, ordered!

From the past two weeks. There seem to be a lot of people picking up The Perfume of the Lady in Black this past couple of weeks; well you can add me to that list. Never seen it, and can't wait to see it. Sadly I wasn't a fan of the Island steelbook art, so went for the regular release.

I wouldn't normally include books in my posts here but I have a feeling Gillian Flynn would appeal to a lot of people here. Her first book Sharp Objects reminded me a lot of Rosemary's Baby, a bubbling sinister undercurrent where things aren't quite what they seem. Her second, Dark Places, features a murder club, a group of people who meet at conventions to buy, sell, trade memorabilia from real life murder cases, debate cases, try to solve unsolved cases and attempt to enlist survivors to be guest speakers! It felt so novel and kitsch to me. It spiralled brilliantly into something quite touching, if depressing. I can't comment on Gone Girl yet. Forgive the hard sell (I assure you I’m in no way connected to the books or the author, or the publishing house), but I feel her work deserves a wider audience.

BAKA just gave a hint so here,very nice packaging from Play

Charity Shop

@ The Dangerous Sex Date (Arrow Films DVD) £0.75p

I was wondering what was in the silver package! I love Play's new Steelbook packaging.

Yes it's very good :nod:

I succumbed to PlanetAxel's free shipping as it's their last day and ordered the Dark Crystal/Labyrinth (Brain Froud Art Edition) Blu-ray boxset. I've been wanting them both on Blu for ages but just never got round to getting them so having them together with that lovely box art is a bonus.

Can anyone confirm if their free shipping is also included on their Pre-orders, or is that just too good to be true?

Since they charge you instantly I'd have thought the free shipping would be included on pre-orders too

Yeah good point, in fact I just checked as I want the Limited Edition Walking Dead Season 2 but the price is still a lot more than amazon.com with shipping so I may as well just use Amazon.
Does anyone know if Amazon cover any import duties as the set is around the £50 mark so I assume it'll get stung with charges etc ??

Arrived yesterday.

Some disaster films...

...and a wonderful disaster of a film! :D

Everything shipped from Amazon.com to the UK has the full customs declaration so, at £50 plus postage, HMRC would charge you quite a bit in 'handling fees' as well as every penny of the £15 threshold.

With that in mind, I'd order from Planet Axel as they shop from mainland Europe.

Pretty gutted I ordered ROTLD with Amazon because if Demons 2 is anything to by (only turned up on Tuesday!) it'll be here in about 4 years.

Nightbirds / The Body Beneath

Body is a bit of a chore, though it does have its ( strange ) moments, I guess. And why was it called The Body Beneath anyway? :der:

Nightbirds was better. Wasn't sure about it at the beginning but I enjoyed it more as it went along.

The Black Panther

Having never seen this one before, I didn't quite know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. Excellent film. The BD also has a short film entitled Recluse which is also very good ( and in some scenes quite chilling ).

Yes, pre-orders included.

Recently picked this up:

And this just shipped from Amazon :D

Anyone ordering from Planet Axel, please double check the orders!

I just ordered £55 worth of stuff and the order went through 3 times! Glad I decided to check it!

Yeah Planetaxel is £54 in total so it's worth the extra money for the security of knowing I won't get stung anymore after that. Decision made. I now need to sell many of my other DVD's to make the money back as I'm skint this month. :(

Oh the joys of being a collector :loco:

Last day of free shipping on planetaxel so I got
