It seems expensive but the quality of set actually makes it seem worth-while when you get it!

I’m gonna get their new Maniac set too, but I’m in no rush for that so I’ll probably wait until next month for that one, WOWHD is the cheapest I’ve seen that too

Got both Maniac and ZFE (splinter cover) from wowhd, still wrapped but thought i'd get them before they disappear like so much else these days! ZFE was around £29, Maniac around £23

Sounds like we all have the ZOMBIE 'splinter' cover.

continuing to go off topic, is wowhd the cheapest place to buy region a films?
I'm on the verge of giving up on buying them because of costs.

Pretty much yes, if it's above £15 they add the 20% VAT on top though so I'll only buy something straight away if I really want it, like Zombie Flesh Eaters, otherwise I'll wait until it drops below £15.

It's free delivery as well.

They have multiple trading arms as well, you can buy their discs on Amazon Marketplace as well as eBay. I think they use the name AllYourMusic there.

Bought the bridge cover.

So, are the current arrow titles (waterworld/crimson peak/forbidden photos etc) just going to go unpurchased as people can't afford amazon prices, or do we think they will drop their prices in the end?

Unless it's a Limited Edition release that's in danger of selling out, I only buy Arrow releases when they hit either the Arrow store sale or the HMV 5 for £30.

I used to buy all my LE releases direct from Arrow, but since they changed their store, increased their prices slightly and started charging for shipping I was using HMV exclusively. Luckily for me there hasn't been a LE release since the HMV debacle that I've been interested in purchasing to give me cause to look elsewhere.

I think the next one I'm planning on getting is The Ring steelbook, which seems the cheapest from Zavvi at the moment (£15.99), so will probably go with them if HMV's issues haven't been resolved by then.
