The box normally has a price of 75 - 80 EUR. For this price you can find it here, for example:

https://ssl.ofdb.de/view.php?page=fa...1248&vid=80564

But I have no idea if they ship outside of Germany.

But regarding your question: As you already have a Mediabook, you are now paying at least 75 bucks plus postage just to get the box and the necklace. IMHO that is not a good deal, because no matter which edition you buy, the most important thing is the Blu-ray itself. And you already have the disc.

Wow, the label rep himself telling you it's probably not smart to get it on top of the mediabook! That means you better do it!

Thanks for the info. However, despite wasting nearly half an hour on that appalling site , who did seem to ship to the UK I was unable to work out why the order wouldn't go through. Some information was missing but I don't know what it was.
I can normally find my way around foreign sites but this one has beaten me.
Will place order with DTN instead

Edit - or I would have done had it not come to 94 euros. Might aswell stick with Amazon at that price. I'll take your advice and stick with my Mediabook

I’m having so much trouble trying to buy just the standard edition if Dracula! All my usual dealers seem to be sold out and the ones available on EBay.de and Amazon.de marketplace won’t ship to the UK!

I can get the wooden box still no problem but apart from the price, all my other Hammers are standard case so would like to keep it that way.

Any chance of a repress on this one Ivo as it seems to have gone so quick?

We have just repressed the standard edition and it will be shipped on the 16th. February. So wait until next week. Then you should be able to buy it from Amazon again.

Fantastic news! I’m wanting to buy the Zeder blu-ray as well so will order them from Beyond Media.

BTW, the German trailer included in the "Dracula" Blu-ray includes a very tiny snippet of previously unseen footage not even included in the Japanese footage. The scene during the final confrontation that shows Dracula raising then dropping the trap door on the floor next to his throne as Van Helsing enters the room is extended to show Dracula running towards Van Helsing after throwing the candelabra at him.

Couple of grabs from another site

[Man From Hammer]

Not directly compared yet but is the additional footage exclusive to the Anolis the quick shot of Dracula with his eyes watering?

Sorry, figured out what went wrong. Fixed now.

[Man From Hammer]

Links not working.
Are Anolis releases for those Warner titles confirmed?
Are the rights to Dracula AD 1972 already ending for the other company who released it?

Are you sure the links are still not working? I figured out the issue & fixed the links in the post last week. I just clicked each one of the links and all are working fine (maybe your browser cached the old page with broken links?).

I’ll repost the links later, and hope they are working this time around.

Thanks. really useful. Very nicely done!!

I have them all on blu-ray, but not all by Anolis, and I want to get most of them on Anolis, so it will help me figure out which ones I am missing! I need to sit down and do that soon. Another good feature would be to maybe briefly in one or two sentences list reasons why it might be superior to other existing versions (or if they are more or less equal other versions). I think Anolis is usually equal to or surpasses most other versions. Not sure there is an instance i am aware of where someone has reported it is lesser than other existing editions. I've read the entire thread, but I don't necessarily remember everything, and it would also help new fans as well. For me personally I don't care too much about extras, but issues concerning the quality and format (e.g. aspect ratio) of the transfer are of utmost importance to me, as well as inclusion of cut footage.

I hope they can add Satanic Rites of Dracula as well. It is missing on blu-ray except a very limited grey market release of the US cut in the US (available for only days before fans reported it to Warner).

5. Hands of the Ripper
6. Countess Dracula
7. The Plague of the Zombies
9. The Reptile

Can anyone vouch for these over the UK/Studiocanal ones for anything other than cover art? I only have Quatermass and the Pit, and I don't recall any differences from the Aussie Shock version I have. I thought they were just regional ports. More than happy to be corrected!

I think Captain Kronos might be the only one debatable that is not equal or superior if the caps a holic grabs are accurate, there's odd dark lines on top & bottom of picture that the Shock doesn't have.
