Just be sure to choose the correct reverse artwork for Who Dares Wins when the poll comes up.

I also checked the website and they're all pretty cheap, so I'll probably pick them up, though a wouldn't pay £15 for them. Plus they look like they have good feature.

I've always wanted to get into Troma, and Surf Nazis and Nuke Em High sound like a great romp, so I'll get those.

Combat Shock looks hella bleak and disturbing, but the great feature and cheap price mean I'll probably get them.

Lady Snowblood I've heard a ton about, plus dual format steel book with 2 films sounds like a great deal, plus this could get me into Samurai films

Sorry for writing an essay, I've never seen these movies, but before you complain, think about about all Arrow do for us. Arrow could just do a Vipco, give us shit art and transfers, and piss all for special features.

Not trying to preach and do a moral crusade or anything, but we may get more titles closer to July,August and September, and check out all the titles on Arrow, they have great art, great features and great prices, so give them a chance.

Oh and if you have seem the movies, I give you full permission to bag the crap out of them, but this looks a great lot to me, but I lower my expectations dramatically for anything hyped (like Avengers, Prometheus, announcements) so even if it is a little lackluster, I still enjoy it.

If you have to get a Troma get Class Of. It's not the best but it's a fun I'll bad film. Pass Surf Nazis or you'll seriously regret it. Combat Shock doesn't hold up well today.
The action ones I'm not sure of. Just a friendly heads up. Save your money for the good stuff:-)

Hang hang on....poor Vipco always get it in the neck. Okay transfers were bad, and zero special features, but there artwork was never shit. During the early days and sell through video era there artwork was what made them sell so well.

Yes, Arrow have said that certain titles will still get the Limited Edition treatment, so they're not completely gone.

Your lucky these films don't deserve it. You save money for the next lot that'll hopefully not be like this one and maybe it'll have a limited...it's a win-win.

For me this means I can concentrate on the older stuff like Exterminator.

see I can be positive about this.

One thing that seems to be of worth within the new announcements (aside from Lady Snowblood

) is the feature movie included as a bonus. Eureka have done it with several titles in their MoC line, and it could well be a godsend. Titles that Arrow are skeptical of being able to recoup their costs on a BD release, but materials are up to par. Bundling it as an extra onto a 'related' feature could well mean we'll see titles that would never have had the chance of a BD release.
