Yeah. Here is a pic I put on instagram yesterday.

Hope they use it and not the current one floating around..

Might have to import for the superior cover!

I was thinking about ordering it from Mightyape.com.au last night, but on their site their image of the front cover shows the Australian classification logo:



This made me wonder whether they have simply altered the image for their website, or have actually put Australian classification stickers on the slicks.

The Madman Entertainment NZ Facebook page just replied to my inquiry and stated this is a Region Free release. Going to import this so I can avoid the US BD-R version.

Looks like a label plastered over the top of the NZ version. Can they be removed if careful?????

I agree nice artwork but that classification ruins it. I put my cinema ticket under the cover over it. I keep cinema tickets and slide them into the blu covers to remind me that I saw it at a cinema. Silly idea.

That's a great idea buddy!

Watched last night.

Transfer is perfect/beautiful. Both picture and sound.

Enjoyed a lot second time round.

Ugh, $34... yeah I'll wait for a price drop. Wouldn't expect anything resembling a reasonable price from Madman though...

[Sky_Captain]

It's $24.98...

Alister_M is referring to our New Zealand price. We have both Australian and New Zealand members in here.

NZers ordering from JB Aus would save $NZ4 total.

$AU24.98
+ $AU4.25
Delivery
= $AU29.23
== $NZ30.14

Out of curiosity I went to the local Warehouse to check the region of the release. On the back of the cover it says it is Region B locked. Sorry mate, It may be a misprint \, may be wroth checking. unless someone on here would like to verify details.

[Alister_M]

Back cover info is never reliable... a lot of discs will appear to be locked but they're actually region-free (case in point, just about every 20th Century Fox release) so the only way to be sure is to try them in a player that's locked to a different region. Of course that's hardly practical if you're planning on importing it, but perhaps someone on here who has a region-A locked player can verify the region code for this one.

My Aussie version showed up from Madman today, not sure if all of them come with a reversible slick, it is region A compatible.

^ what are the audio specs

[bell_packet]

That makes me want the Aussie one just so I can avoid our ratings logo.

Yeah! Might have to import.

[Alister_M]

Hmm yep I'm definitely importing.

[Darth Marcus]

I ordered my NZ copy last week from The Nile USA off eBay. I still haven't received a shipping notification yet so I sent them a message to see what's up.

That's nicer than the Kiwi copy.
