My Female Prisoner Scorpion boxset which i ordered from Zavvi has just arrived in today's post. Will be giving the discs a spin letter to check out the picture quality compared to my Eureka box set.

That's brilliant by Zavvi, but not so great by Arrow, who haven't even shipped my order yet.

I've ordered Dekalog from Zavvi so I hope I get the early delivery too. That's not until October though.

What's the packaging like with box sets, you hear some horror stories but it can't be all bad or people wouldn't order from them at all.

I have never had a problem with anything being damaged in all the years I have been ordering from Zavvi unlike Arrow where I had Hellgate where the case was smashed and had a torn sleeve and were unable to offer a replacement.

I only ordered from Zavvi as it was cheaper than Arrow direct as was only £44.99 with the 10% code. I have also ordered The Burning from Zavvi so in October will see if it is a one off with the early dispatch.

I've had some posted by zavvi that's been great and some not so good eg my boro set came packaged in two jiffy bags so had a couple of slight bashed corners, think i got off lucky, but that was a while ago and ever since not had much of a problem

Likewise!

Whoever thought Zavvi would ever beat Arrow in the postage stakes eh?

Female Scorpion arrived today....however,Cronenberg's early works still shows as 'stock on order' on their site,but Amazon have it in stock!

Come on Arrow,it's the faithful who buy direct that you make the profits on-time to get back on track!

Great to see the early Cronenberg's get a standalone release. Bit disappointing there's no booklet with it though.

The only thing I can think of worse than seeing these again, is reading about them. I thought they were boring as hell. Just one of the reasons I got rid of the limited edition and bought the standard version of Videodrome.
