When I follow your link, it's mentioned at 179,99 $.

On my zavvi, it's mentioned at 109.99. I think that I won't wait to get a discount anywhere, because you all guys are so eager to get the first release that if I wait, I won't get nothing !! :bs_laughing::monk_laughing:

Ok , you all sent replies when I was wiring mine...

I got it for 122,98 £ at zavvi .com. It looks like I lost a little bit of money in comparison to what @Yihetuan said, but well...When loves, one doen't count, as we say here...

The only thing I complain at is that there is no art on the discs...

There will be, just very likely it's still being worked on, no @KUNG FU BOB sadly, but the names of the artists involved are:

Matthew Griffin, Chris Malbon, Jacob Phillips, Ilan Sheady, Tony Stella, Darren Wheeling and Jolyon Yates

From arrow store with vat removal+discount code+shipping it totals £87.90 and later local tax 22% will be added so it feels most secure deal. And best too with bonus points earned which can be used for "COMING IN 2022… SHAWSCOPE VOLUME TWO, AND MORE!"

Is arrow uk based? 

Originally yes, but they're doing more and more US releases these days, this Boxset will be released in both UK and US.

That's my problem with that site. I don't have pounds. I carry american cash and I'm not signing up for an account.  Amazon uk is so much easier. And another thing about those aholes, they sent me the regular edition of big troublein little china instead of the now oop steetbook edition.

In the discussions I've seen so far, most people believe they'll be released separately in the future. I think they did that with a few other sets. Like when they split their Gamera set in two.

Please let one of the titles be Human Lanterns!

I figured most of these would be the essentials ….Human Lanterns and any Chor Yuen movie needs the blu ray treatment !

I strongly suspect that will be one of them, did you see their full teaser image for the announcement on facebook?

The image on the left side Looks very much like a shot lifted from Human Lanterns then given a bit of photoshop blurring.

That makes me much more optimistic. Btw, I forgot to post this earlier but here's the discount code if you want to pre-order this directly from Arrow & get yourself some rewards points in the process.

Spoiler

Here's a size comparison with a mock up. So it's going to be Spielberg/Bond collector's edition sized. It was wishful thinking for Arrow to include individual amaray cases for the discs themselves, so looks like it'll be the annoying PITA slide in and out of the thick cardboard page style instead.

Cheers for the code, that one I already had, so did the same as you and pre-ordered straight from Arrow for the reward points, massive kudos for knocking up a mock up!! I thought I was fast making up a breakdown video on it all, but that's impressive!!

I don't think I have a shelf wide enough to sit this size outwards on but will cross that bridge in December, I'm mostly just really happy it's coming out, but do kinda wish that the Criterion Zatoichi boxset had set a bit of standard of format for the big releases rather than the Gamera / Godzilla / Bond oversize monstrous ones.

I'm sure in time it'll come out as two smaller, more shelf friendly versions albeit sans book, but don't want to wait that long :)

 

P.S, Can I ask what are the dimensions of that Spielberg boxset? when i checked online it says 

27.8 x 18.6 x 3.8 cm which seems smaller than I expected (and than it looks)

but Amazon is frequently wrong!
