Awesome! ... good thing this one's Full HD unlike the US Edition which is 1080i.

[JimDiGriz]

Must buy for me as long as the transfer is an improvement on the existing UK one (which wasnt bad considering).

Hopefully Arrow will pick up Jabberwocky too...

[nefilim]

edit : sadly it does not have the criterion commentary track ...

I agree! that's a good price for a classic.

[JimDiGriz]

Ordered. Ill actually watch all these new extras too. Really hope this helps get Gilliam's first film released - Jabberwocky. Underrated gem!

[ManUtd]

Decent price, pre-ordered.

[Brother_Dobby]

New restoration, not a bad price, and plenty of time to change my mind! Preordered!

As stated in another thread, I have issues with...aspects of the film. Particularly the ending, but the film overall is decent enough. I never owned the previous release due to the reviews it received, but a steelbook with a new transfer doesn't sound like a bad choice to me.

[Dr. Feelgood]

Just came upon this thread and instantly I pre-ordered it. The price seems to have increased though to £17.99 at Arrow's site and to £19.75 at Amazon UK. Many pre-orders, I guess?

[StormTHX]

Just received my dispatch email from Zavvi!

My £15.99 order from Sainsbury's was posted yesterday. Hopefully, it will arrive tomorrow.

[Indiana Jones]

Ordered my copy through Flubit last week and received a dispatch email for it yesterday, not bad for £14.50

[Indiana Jones]

Not sure how Flubit works but received my £14.50 copy today delivered from TheHut

[indisposed]

Just got mine, but I haven't opened it yet ; the inside looks cool.

[PowellPressburger]

I ordered mine along with House of Usher and a few other titles with Express Shipping from Amazon UK but interestingly enough my Time Bandits Steel is shipping out of Madrid. Never seen that before lol Should deliver Monday to me though! Anyone else have UK titles shipped from Spain at all?
