There's a pattern to these NSM releases mate.
First comes the mediabook.
Then the Futurepak/or steelbook/or hardbox.
Then comes the Amaray.
So it pays to be patient.....

That's me ****ed then!

Yep, they released Delta Force 2 in a mediabook, and recently again in a steelbook. Asked them if it'll get an amaray release too, and they said if the steelbook sells, so I guess that's a yes

Does anyone here know if the mediabook releases of the Friday the 13th films are any good? They sure want a lot of money for those...

Not sure tbh. I was going to get them, as I thought they'd use the original poster artwork. They saved me a lot of money!

Yeah, I think the covers are pretty bland... I'd want original poster artwork for that kind of money! I watched some video of them on YT and it seemed there was some poster artwork on the first page of the book, but they were the German language posters.

I always loved the response I used to get from Twilight Time if I said I had hoped a release would use the original artwork....."it's ok, the poster artwork is on the back page of the booklet inside". It's not really the same.

Yeah, that is not the same at all. Some of the new artwork is really cheesy too. Like the Enemy Mine one comes to mind.

I guess they were desperate to keep some artist employed...

I've collected them (F13th) so far with the exception of the woeful remake.
They do feature original art inside.
I'm currently awaiting 4,5 and 6 from Uncut.ch whose site claims that 4 and 5 are uncut versions.....maybe all that means is that ze German prints were already heavily 'macheted'

Yeah that's what it means. They made a big fuss that they were finally being able to release them they way they had been elsewhere.
