Just grabbed it also along with Perfect Blue.

Actually Shout used to have different pricing tiers for their collectors editions and non collectors editions.

Pre ordered, barebones and all!

Just out of interest, are these the only titles confirmed as coming to 4K from Shout but without a release date?

Bring It On (2000)
Burn After Reading (2008)
Scent of a Woman (1992)
Hail, Caesar! (2016)
Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)

I don't see it that way. To me a scalper is someone who buys a bunch of limited or in demand items just to make it harder for other people to get them, then sells them for outrageous prices. Like the Japan exclusive 4K of Godzilla Minus One. I found out about that one too late and had to resort to buying from a scalper on eBay who had multiple copies of it on preorder who was selling it for double the price. Also the limited edition of The Keep was being sold on eBay for outrageous prices immediately after it sold out. What I did a few times in the past was to buy one extra copy of a movie to keep mint and sealed and save it for a rainy day as an investment. I know a lot of people who do that. Not just with movies but with toys, comic books and other collectibles. Buying one extra copy for myself of something that has a probability of increasing in value isn't going to hurt anyone and there's nothing wrong with it. Everyone has the same opportunity to get their hands on one. And if I decide to sell my extra copy, it's up to the person to pay whatever price they feel the item is worth to them. I'm not depriving anyone of a basic necessity like toilet paper or baby formula.

And by the way, those three movies that I bought an extra copy of a long time ago, I still have them. I never even tried to sell them yet.

I don't know why it bothers you so much that someone on here called you a scalper. Who cares?

No a scalper is someone that buys something for the sole peruse of reselling it at a higher price. Doesn’t matter how many you are buying. Now if you bought it for your own collection then decided to sell it later on down the road and it’s worth more I wouldn’t call that scalping.

[postmodel]

Doesn’t the price reflect the cost of producing a 4K? If it’s stacked with extras or has 2 new interviews, it still costs money to make a 4K. Don’t know the exact cost from restoration (or licensing said restoration) to final product but the film is the main product after all.

But I’d love to see JCVD talk some inside basebawl of Timecop!!!

Tell that to the person who has to buy that one copy at an inflated price.

[mclellandj]

I can wrap my head around someone defending the fact that they are scalper (even though I disagree) but to deny that you are scalping is just delusional self-justification.

I am not posting in this thread. I'm just doing this one post, but I'm not posting in this thread.

A little teaser for what's coming next Friday...

[JoelGoodsen]

A sale or new announcements?

[RevolverOcelScott]

Most likely Valentine's Day sale.

[MifuneFan]

Yeah, a sale.

That is what I was thinking too mate. Would have been nice if a surprise announcement was in there also. Even though a new to disc title is always prefered, something like a Valentine 4K announcement would also tie in nicely and do the job.

Extras still cost money to produce, compensation for the participants and usually require additional licensing fees which can add up quickly.

Just picked up Sick and Renfield on 4k
