Any news on a standard release?

I'm not fussed with steelbooks...especially the price.

According to their Facebook page, not until spring next year and it's implied it may be missing the major new doc which is apparently nearly an hour long. I'd have preferred a standard release but I'm not going to take the chance because that extra sounds like it could be great.

Not until next year, and depending on sales of the limited edition of course.

I don't mind paying extra for this, Odeon have put a lot of effort in here.

It's £16.99 on Zavvi.

I'll swing for the metal, but probably replace it with a standard one later on.

That makes me feel better. Odeon had it for £15.99 + shipping but they upped it to £17.99 now. I'll be interested to see HMV's price. I check a lot of sites regularly for it and not many have it listed yet.

I'm wondering if slow sales will delay a standard release too. It'll help that it's region free but 4000 is a lot, especially at the asking price.

[Ste7en]

Do Odeon charge when the order is placed or when it has shipped?

I've had this on pre-order from Amazon for a while now but I may shift it to them directly.

[OgamiittoMcJ]

Odeon release date is 7/9/2015
if ordering from them they have said they will ship 1 week before

The documentary is only slated to be on the LTD edition steelbook and probably the DVD re-release which has not been scheduled yet.
We will not release on standard BD until Spring 2016.

The feature runs for just under an hour and includes people involved in the film as well as devotee Reece Shearsmith (League of Gentlemen) and renowned horror writer Jonathan Rigby. Jake and Marc from Nucleus Films (of Video Nasties fame) have excelled themselves on this feature!

Amazon release date 21/9/2015
Zavvi release date 12/9/2015

This was 1 big reason in my ordering direct. That, and more of my money going to Odeon. Sometimes my ethics are worth more than a couple of quid.

At £17.99 I was going to order it as that's £2 cheaper than Amazon. But at checkout they added postage and it was for second class so chances are even if they ship a week early I might not get it quicker than Amazon Prime and I'm confident the Amazon price will drop a bit before release.

Free postage on their website if you order over £25 worth. I've used them before, and when they say they aim to ship a week early they mean it.

Thanks for that info. Do they take payment when you order or when they despatch? I'm never keen on paying upfront when the release is 2 months away.

Also, postage is still second class so earlier than Amazon might not be guaranteed.
I often get Monday releases on the saturday or sunday ( got The Third Man LE today)

[oddbox83]

They take payment on order.

Looking good, thanks for the post.

Just a heads up, Horror Hospital is £9.99 at HMV so will likely be the same instore.

Good find blob, ordered it of the web as my local store doesn't seem to carry many copies of this kind of thing. Thanks.

Hello all ...

I just found this thread. (Yay!) I'm interested in buying Island of Terror. I know of 2 places that are selling it online ... Amazon and Zavvi. I've read that it's region free and that the disc is identical whether I order it from Amazon or Zavvi. But what I don't understand is if the packaging is different between Zavvi and Amazon. Anybody?

Also, is one place more reliable (or just better in general) than the other for something that will be shipped overseas?

Thanks.

Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Island-Terro...terror+blu+ray

Zavvi: http://www.zavvi.com/blu-ray/island-.../10988551.html

EDIT: I live in the US.

My BD matches the Amazon picture. I believe the digitally remastered banner at the bottom of the cover as per the Zavvi picture is from the DVD.

In terms of who to buy from I would go with Amazon even if slightly more expensive as in this case. You can use your US account on the UK site, just enter your registered email address and password. The main problem with Zavvi is if something goes wrong they have about the worst customer service of any online seller. You can only contact them via their own online message system on which they take around a day to respond. No phone, email or online chat.

Thank you.

I took your advice and just placed an order with Amazon UK.
