The 88 Films Thread

[Vampix]

I'm just glad that 88 Films and Arrow Video exist and I will continue to buy releases from both companies. Keep up the good work!

You are wrong. Calum is one of the most down to earth and friendly people I have met at screenings and festivals, and has almost no ego about the work he did, both seen and unknown.

Anyway, enough about individuals, let's try and stick to the releases, whether past, present or future.

Just got a dispatch email from amazon saying that my American Ninja set is on the way. At £16 (pre-order price) this is likely to be one of my best blu-ray bargains so far (even though I only like 2 of the films and find one passable)

Anyway, at least I know what I'll be watching when everyone else is watching Britains Got Talent this weekend

"Update on the American Ninja Collection with Slipcase
Unfortunately we have had yet another small delay with the American Ninja box set. These were supposed to arrive last Friday, then they were supposed to arrive yesterday but some issue at the channel tunnel caused them to be returned to the Czech Republic. We have been given assurance that they will now arrive tomorrow at midday. Thank you so much for your patience with this matter.
Also some of you will have had dispatch notifications, this is generated when we print the address labels which we did yesterday in anticipation of the stock arriving.
Once again our apologies for the wait. We do think you'll be happy with them when they finally arrive though as the samples look cracking. We normally dispatch 2nd class but these will be sent out 1st class in an effort to expedite the deliveries."

Thanks, I thought I might've been wrong, I've edited my post accordingly

Yep, I'm chomping at the bit to get my blu-rays. Hopefully they get the slipcases in tomorrow. P.S. I'll be watching Britain's Got Talent regardless.

Received my American Ninja set today. Looks bloody good. And fyi for those interested, the discs are actually coded for region A & B. So those in region A land, get American Ninja bought.

Yeah it's the exact same ones.
