They're not using clear plastic. They're using the white garment bags that are generally used for shipping clothes.

Their packaging has hit an all time low. Not too long ago, they sent my Collector’s edition of a Nintendo Switch game, which was made of a super flimsy cardboard, in a paper bag. Of course it was damaged.

The GHOSTBUSTERS and GHOSTBUSTERS 2/II in this set certainly aren't the two below. Brand new discs, or did you forget that?

Again, not the same discs and the current database entry is very misleading for the Ultimate Collection.

And? There's an entry for this set. That's all that's necessary

Nope. Not the same discs which are in the boxset. What's necessary are two new individual entries to the database to properly reflect this release and not be confusing to anyone.
Anyone have a BDInfo scan of the new discs from GHOSTBUSTERS and GHOSTBUSTERS II/2? Excluding the person I quoted.

While there is an entry for the ultimate set, the section on the page to talks about the reviews/details of each film within the set is set up to direct you to the 2016 4k releases. This won’t be accurate in reviewing the specs and any bonus features found in this set.

I wouldn’t create a new listing, but just put a new detailed page review instead of linking to a listing of a review. If they ever do release these new discs individually, then it could be edited to a link.

New listings need to be added to accurately reflect the new release for the first two films. 2022 release from this collection, and not the 2016 releases.

Amazon finally took my payment after an issue with my card on Tuesday, but it’s still says they’ll update me with a delivery date. I really hope they update me by tomorrow.

He's right, it is misleading. We have plenty of entries that aren't sold separately, so I don't get why his suggestion is so bad.



If you don't wanna do it, then it would be only right to remove that whole bottom part ("This Blu-ray bundle includes the following...") from the entry.

Yep.

I was just about to post the Karate Kid 4K stand-alone and Collection release example. These are two different discs so they should have different entries, just like these new GB releases.

Thanks! (Similar situation! The 20th Century FOX 2011 BDs for STAR WARS which are completely different from the discs releases in 2019 or whenever by Disney regarding sets which I've had to correct. A release from 2011 can't have discs released in the future regarding sets, which I had to change that entry.)
Did the entries, NEW, for both this 2022 release and for the 2022 release of GHOSTBUSTERS II/2. I put the original audio first, even though it's a placeholder. No clue about the rest of the exact audio tracks, bitrate, and the subtitles either. Can't find a BDInfo scan for the 2021 Ultimate Collection discs... (Might've been ITT? Search this Thread lead to nowhere.) Obviously don't have individual images for the slipcover and case image.
My guess is the only other set/bundle entry which doesn't need to be changed to reflect the Ultimate Collection 2022 releases is the Steelbook, which DOES use the 2016 releases. Can be left alone entirely.

No I was talking about ghostbusters 1 and 2 the special features discs. Wow you don’t have to be a jerk I didn’t think i said anything bad on this thread.

Maybe he wasn’t too far removed from Peter’s love of coeds as well? Hmm. If we get another one maybe this will all be explored further. Specifically who the mom was and how he got those pictures (assuming from the mom).

So a retcon that actually ruins the originals got it now I really hate afterlife.

For those who are interested, the Italian release has the external plastic slip, but no lights and no slip on the movies. I was lucky and all of my discs are correct.

[geomon]

is there any way we could perhaps move the Afterlife discussion to the Afterlife thread?

It's like the thread is nothing but shipping notices and posts about slipcases.

Yeah, it's so annoying:

Ruins? Literally nothing changes in the original films.

[Pumbo]

Are these Dolby Vision discs actually much better than the previous releases?

I’d be happy to double-dip if they’re markedly superior and came in a simple box set, but there’s no way I’m spunking $100’s on a massive tat edition.
