Hi all.

It's been a long time since I've been on here.

I was wondering, are there any differences between the Arrow DVD's released in White digipacks and the releases in keep-cases?

I mean do the releases with keep-cases have the same posters / reversible covers etc? Is one version preferable over the other?


I'm just wondering because the White digi-packs seem so much thicker than the keep-cases.

Thanks in advance.

Pulled the trigger on Arrows release of Phantasm. Mainly because I dug out a bunch of old Gundam wing DVD sets with figures included that have been on my shelf for well over a decade and unloaded them for £150. Also paid for several other titles as well including new battles without honour or humanity, one I was a lot more keen on. I think going forward I'm going to be a lot more cautious about importing, and something like phantasm end up waiting for budget releases as I'm getting collectors fatigue. I actually managed to pass on the last batch of code red discs.

Also..... One week on and no sign of City of the dead. I thought Arrow had sorted the useless warehouse service and late shipments but they seemed to have fallen into bad habits. Another day and City is getting reported as lost in the post.....

As someone with autism, patience is not a strong point of mine.


Points or no points i rarely use arrow anymore, loyal customers with them since 2009 who have their money taken immediately,deserve their item AT LEAST a week before release date not up to 3 weeks AFTER.

I place all my orders with hmv now for arrow,sometimes it gets shipped BEFORE release date.

Not sure why arrow stopped getting their items out early over 2 years ago, but they should be ashamed. Their releases are often amazing but not their shipping policys.

The VERY least they can do is not charge in advance.

i'm sort of glad i have limited opportunity to watch my movies. this has led to me having over a hundred discs on my 'to watch' list. the benefit of this is i couldn't give a stuff about Phantasm or anything else arriving late. it could arrive next year for all i care because that's about the time i'll be watching it

I'm the same in many ways. I rarely watch anything the day of release and have quite the backlog of discs to get through so am not really fussed whether anything I have on pre-order arrives later than scheduled.

I can certainly see how it would annoy people though, especially when you've paid upfront for something that you could have walked into a HMV store on the day of release and picked up at no extra cost.

I have a huge backlog of films to watch but sometimes you do get excited for something coming out and it can be an anticlimax if you've ordered it online and doesn't even get shipped. It's not just Arrow though, I ordered Fright Night from Amazon 2-3 months ago and they didn't dispatch it until Wednesday after release, and that's with a 4 year prime membership!

I prefer to go to HMV these days but when they only get a couple of copies they're usually gone by 6pm when I get there on release day.

i can certainly see that. with arrow too, it has happened more than once with a major release and they do need to improve that aspect of the business.

also i sympathise with Gold being autistic. my son is too, so i know how that goes.
