Maybe. I'd rather have a chipboard edition to go along with my Robocop 1. I happen to like Part 2 just as much as the original, BTW, so good news.

Yeah. Some good 4K announcements, but I'm disappointed by the lack of BD's there. Was hoping for some more WAC upgrades. I hope with Cliff leaving that doesn't spell doom for SF and Warner ..It's as good as confirmed that Arrow have a Warner deal now, so it's possible a lot of titles that may have otherwise been slated for SF could be coming from Arrow in the future instead.

I’m kind of surprised no Robocop 3 4K to go along with those, but I’m in. Species II also has been selling for some insane prices, so this is good news for many reasons.

[travisbickle]

Just Robo 2 and Matinee for me.

[Gacivory]

Species 2, RoboCop 2, and Matinee!!!!

With shout releasing stuff that ain't that well liked and with a very very small audience like species 2, skyline, ouija, death wish and carrie remakes, and wanted onto 4k, what's stopping them from putting garbage pail kids, mac & me, and street fighter to 4k then?

[concolt]

Other than the Robocop remake this a good month.

Mac & Me is a masterpiece . But seriously, Mac and Me with a Paul Rudd commentary track would be a dream come true.

In for RoboCop 2, Species II and Matinee.

[jess1581]

Wait... Hold the phone. Did they overlook Robocop 3?

[postmodel]

I’m soaked and erect all at once with these announcements.

[Somebuddy]

Probably the weakest month yet if this is it. Not one first time on blu ray release

Street Fighter would be a magnificent announcement, if they did it.
I mean the latest release had a bunch of new interviews.
Slap a 4K scan on that with original poster art and I’m there.

They didn't even bother doing a new scan for the Blu. Maybe they'll do it if 2 sells really well (I'd definitely buy it).

Nah, they knew their website would immediately crash with pre-orders so they’re holding off for the moment.

[MifuneFan]

Depends on what you're looking for. Plenty of people are excited in the 4K section over these new announcements (even some who want Robocop 2014 ).

[TripleHBK]

Happy to see a number of titles announced but nothing for me in this slate.
