^^^ One of my favourite movies.

I don't think the theatrical cut has been available for a while, so I think I'll be getting this upgrade.

It looks like SS are doing digipaks for their LE's. Slightly disappointing.

I think digipaks fit in with the limited editions better than keep cases because of the cardboard case and book; they are all paper-based and matte, not plastic and glossy.

The limited edition TCM looks great I tried to pre order with Zavvi but they don't ship to Ireland anymore and the Irish store doesn't do films only t-shirt and mugs.

I already spend my weekly budget on films and records so couldn't pre order from second sight

Maybe next week
