Seems like a high price for a Mill Creek disc.

Once this goes down to $10-$15, I'm going to grab it. I have the 4K, but I love this movie and the Steelbook looks pretty good.

I just bought the VS release during their last sale. Maybe I should have waited.

Yeah, seems strange. It could be MSRP, which means that Mill Creek will probably sell it for $10-20.

If you have the 4K, then don't. This will be a blu, probably identical to the VS blu, but definitely not a 4K.

Great news for those that have been just wanting to own it on disc.

I wonder if these will pop up in Best Buy or Walmart haha, what a turn of events that would be.

[jgagzy]

Does this mean there’s a VS/Mill Creek deal now?

[bsend]

Its better that movies stay in print. Glad for those that missed it during the VS sale.

[Kyle15]

Says it's a Mondo release. Do they put out Mill Creek stuff or?

[DawnShadow]

I'd say the price is so high due to the terms of the contract. VS made it clear that their deal wasn't an easy one to make so I doubt they made it easy for Mill Creek either. The steelbook design is likely to make consumers perceive extra value.

No, you made the right decision.

[greendemoncustoms]

Sold!! I have two copies of VS UHD but I love this art. I'm sure it will go down a small bit by release date and if not I don't care this is going on a steelbook frame

[Worship.my.wreck]

have 2 copies of the VS 4K, but this is a very nice looking steelbook.

VS' license for this movie was a one-shot deal I think? Mill Creek have probably struck their own deal with the owners of the film.

[SeanJoyce]

The sound of 1,001 groans after all the self-mutilation to secure a VS copy

Would love to know why somebody would feel compelled to own 3, let alone 2 copies of this...

VS let people order up to 2 copies. Anybody remember how long they had Rad up for preorder? Seemed pretty long. Was a nice easy process tbh.

There was a line of Mondo designed steelbooks that had movies from multiple labels.

[whiteberry]

I think that's more than what I paid for the VS 4K disc.

I doubt it. It's probably licensed from Utopia.
