Really excited to see those shaw titles get released outside the set. The le was too big and bulky so I'm glad for shelf friendly versions.

Go figure, the one I wanted the most is the one missing.

You can always buy 88 Films release.

I'm sure Mighty Peking Man will get a standalone release. It would make sense to space out a solo release from the value packs so no one complains "Hey, why am I paying X for one movie when the 4 packs come out cheaper per movie."

I must've missed that.

Hard to keep track of stuff across all these labels, especially when there's overlap.

After receiving and watching the store exclusive of Carlito's Way, it would be nice to see Arrow give the same treatment to Scent of a Woman.

I'd like to see one for Scarface as well.

I'd kill for an Arrow edition of Scarface. A Best Buy exclusive steelbook was just announced and it looks OK but I'm going to wait for a "beefier" edition. Arrow got Carlito's Way so it stands to reason Scarface may be coming as well.

I just realized my copy of Scarface is only DVD. I will probably go for the BestBuy version, if it becomes available to Canada. Only a small selection is offered here.

Hoo hah!

Admittedly I would have waited for these so I could get just the films I was interested in.

I wonder why no single for Mighty Peking Man. Maybe they're going to combine it with some other films?

I probably would have waited too. I like these and the only movie I owned out of those was Mighty Peking Man.

I mean, all these individual blu-ray releases have been out in the States from Arrow for years (and they're all still in print).

Are they just putting these 3 existing titles in a cardboard box? It doesn't look like anything else is new...

That said, I love all three films -- so if anyone hasn't picked them up yet it'll be a great set to get.

I think they reprinted the booklets for these sets, but yeah you pretty much just get a thin box

Gives me hope that we'll see these in the US at some point... Or I'll just have to order from Diabolik.

Criterion still has the rights, so they'll likely remain UK exclusive for the foreseeable future. I can't imagine Criterion bothering to do 4K release of their own, as Arrow's release is pretty definitive.

I kind of expect Criterion to do a 4K upgrade, that set was one of their biggest sellers ever from my understanding…

But I’m keeping my options open at this point.

Will this likely to get sold out before release date too?
