Got mine today, about same packaking as with amazon orders. Haven`t taken it yet off from seals but sounds like no loose discs.

Member reason108 Posted March 17, 2017 Member Share Posted March 17, 2017 Yeah! It`s here! Awesome! Mine was packed by Gabbie. Shout out to Gabbie, wherever you are! First time ordered from 88 Films and that was a pretty quick turn-around for a pre-purchase and free shipping. A lot quicker than Amazon with their "free" shipping. Looks like I will be ordering again from them directly if the free shipping will still be in effect for future purchases. Might even buy from them if it is not. Nice little slipcover. I just started watching but am going to play my iTunes version along with the movie to see if there are any differences. Also, will be listening to Bey`s commentary. Probably won't get it all finished tonight. But, that is ok. Just really glad that it is here! On Bey`s commentary - Ok, noticed one thing...if anyone else can check this out to make sure that I am not losing my hearing, but it sounds like Bey`s volume drops right before Chen Kuan-tai makes his entrance in the film. The drop in volume is only on Bey`s commentary and not the English or Chinese audio tracks. Otherwise, informative commentary.

Member Tex Killer Posted March 17, 2017 Member Share Posted March 17, 2017 I don`t find post now where 88 slipcovers for first Shaw titles were discussed but they had some fundraising campaign last year. I think most if not all slips went for those who attended into it..Not sure if 300 were printed or only 150.. As some ziieagle films are reportedly in condition no proper br could me made, what I would want to see from 88; shaolin temple(dub at times makes more sense than subtitled IVL, rare case), chinatown kid - ultimate edition and avenging eagle(uncut). Black Butterfly and sword mates don`t dare to dream of... Of horror, "haunted tales" would be amazing. Criminals serie also welcomed. First things first=masked avengers In future going to get all Shaws feel I need directly from 88 free shipping or not, for Italian titles may use amazon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Karlos Posted March 18, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 18, 2017 Just picked up 5 of the new 88 Films BDs - wow, they are just incredible! Bravo! And thanks for the heads-up: I may very well start ordering from 88 Films themselves! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already ordered 5 so yesterday I decided to bite the bullet and get the other 2. However, "Seeding of a Ghost" is currently out of stock (great - that means that they must be selling). So "Mighty" was ordered yesterday, "Hex", "HoT", "BM" & "5EN" have already been delivered, "Killer Constable" should be delivered within the next day or so & I will get "Seeding" when it gets back in stock. And then "Masked Avenger" when it is released. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Karlos Posted March 19, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 19, 2017 Just watched Seeding of a Ghost. As KillerMeteor says back on page 1 of this thread, the dub is Mandarin and not, as stated on the sleeve and the menu, the Cantonese one. Overall, PQ is really nice, apart from the occasional scene where it seems to have been shot in soft-focus (and if so, then nothing can be done about that). Also, in regard to the subtitles, I found the general lack of grammar irritating (i.e. very few "!", "?" and periods/full stops - but maybe that's just me). There also appears to be a line of dialogue missing around the 27:30 mark (maybe my BD player is to blame?) The doc/interview with Calum Waddell was OK, but no great shakes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator thekfc Posted March 21, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 21, 2017 Received my copy of "Killer Constable" yesterday. That was 9 days from the UK to NYC - much quicker than Amazon UK. I am still waiting on an order that I placed with Amazon UK 2 days prior than when I placed my order with 88 Films.. It did come with the slip cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was waiting on Amazon, it probably would not be here until early to mid April. Glad yours has the slip. I am glad they are offering such a great deal for the fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad they are offering such a great deal for the fans. Just got my Amazon order a few minutes ago - that would be 4 days longer than 8 Films. According to email notifications, the Amazon order was shipped before I placed the 88 films order.On a separate not, I usually get my Amazon US orders within a day or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Drunken Monk Posted March 23, 2017 Member Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) I was going to buy "Masked Avengers" from Amazon but that slipcase is too good to pass up on. Pre-ordered! Edited March 23, 2017 by Drunken Monk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator thekfc Posted March 23, 2017 Moderator Share Posted March 23, 2017 I pre-ordered too. Hopefully I ordered in time to be one of those to get the slipcase. That is now 7 of the 8, waiting on "Seeding" to come back in stock. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tex Killer Posted March 23, 2017 Member Share Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) If financially possible we should support 88 and tvp. there is quite serious lack of Shaw releases but lets do our mission to help our beloved scene...

Member reason108 Posted March 24, 2017 Member Share Posted March 24, 2017 10 hours ago, ShawAngela said: It's already sent !!! Mine too! But, this has me worried! Their website says that they won't have stock in until around April the 10th. So, did they get stock in early or are we getting the discs without the slipcovers? Or, maybe they will be sending the slipcovers later. Hopefully, they just haven't updated their website. But, it is odd that we are going to get this so soon. But, I am not going to complain if we get what we paid for a little early. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted March 24, 2017 Member Share Posted March 24, 2017 I think that I have the explanation of this fast shipping : I just received a message from 88 telling that they mistakenly sent Killer constable instead of Masked avengers... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
