This is now scheduled for January 28, 7 pm Berlin time.

I heard that some months ago they made a trailer featuring a short clip from magnum p.i., is something coming?

As a reminder: The Live-Stream is today at 7 pm German Time.

Of course.

The stream is live now.

Exclusive Release - LIVE, Chapter 4! Live-Shopping-Event #4 by PLAION PICTURES - YouTube

[Cap.T]

10 Euro off with code "MONKEY" if at least 30 Euro are spend. Valid until noon tomorrow.

What a lame code that amounts to barely nothing with their prices. After the long wait for this new stream, this is disappointing. I would’ve ordered several titles with a 10-15% code but now - nothing.

magnum pi at last! Are the masters new or those included in the Mill Creek set or even the older Fabulous Films set?

I agree that it's generally disappointing, the one positive is that it can be used for reduced stock, too. If you use it on a Columbia Classics boxset, for example, it brings the price down to €119, which is a 20% discount.

I know what you mean but my point is that the 10€ less don’t really matter as we, for example, can get the newest Columbia Classics (Vol. 5) with a discount and shipped from the US for roughly the same price we’re now having to pay Plaion for Vol. 4 before discount. Same as with brand-new releases of films that are released in the US and locally - here it’s usually more expensive with less product, such as no digital codes and resale value like slip covers for mainstream releases.

I buy most of my stuff in the UK and US anyway but things like them not providing proper discounts when appropriate as probably the biggest boutique label in Germany is IMO ridiculous. It’s not that they’d lose a fortune - it’s about enticing people to buy other items and from other labels there apart from their exclusives.

I've made my last purchase of anything released by Plaion, due to their poor, seemingly non-existent customer service.

The Blu-ray and 4K discs in the Men Steelbook I purchased about 3 months ago have started to corrode (bronze):

I emailed them at the beginning of December 2024, and have not heard back from them. I sent them another email two weeks ago to follow up, and still no reply.

Which email address did you use?

I sent them to the following three email addresses:
office-de@plaion.com
shop@plaionpictures.com
info@plaionpictures.com

Two years ago I would get emails from someone using shop@plaionpictures.com, but recently, nothing.

The shop email should be working but try this for now:

Go to their shop homepage and scroll to the bottom to "Kontaktformular", then type in from left to right: Name, surname, E-mail address, phone number if applicable, select issue no. 3 from the drop down list, order number if applicable, finally write in your comments and accept their privacy policy. Then send.

Hopefully this works - they’ve always been friendly and responsive for me.

I think I might have used their webform prior to emailing them direct late last year, but I can't remember for certain. I've filled it out again. Fingers crossed.

Darn it, I only saw this now. Is there a new one please?

For a few more hours the code DJANGO5 gives 5 Euro off. It works with preorders, like the Magnum-Set. It expires at Midnight tonight German Time, which is about 5 hours away.

Did anyone end up buying the Dario Argento - World of Horror set?

I'm curious on how the set looks, and the quality of the transfers.
If anyone can share a few screenshots or feedback, I would be grateful.

Thank you

Current code "MONKEYS" but I think only applies to items that are in stock and for more than 35 EUR
