I agree. They still have HD DVD titles that haven't made it to Blu yet.

As long as you have the shelf space keep spending

Scarface in comic book form seems odd and cool at the same time

Jutty · 04-09-2013, 02:29 PM

Very nice indeed,,only gonna get the ones i havnt got already (Doom & Hellboy II),,not looking to double dip..kinda sucks though,,some of them look pretty sweet

Jude72 · 04-09-2013, 02:31 PM

I'm gonna lock in the price and decide later which I want to keep. Would hate for them to increase or go out of stock before I made my mind up.

rammsteinfan · 04-09-2013, 02:35 PM

I think I just heard my wallet explode. I want them all

Jude72 · 04-09-2013, 02:36 PM

Complete list, as far as I can tell:

The Big Lebowski

The Chronicles of Riddick

Death Race

Doom

Hellboy II

Hot Fuzz

Hulk

The Incredible Hulk

The Mummy

Paul

Pitch Black

Scarface

Scott Pilgrim

Serenity

Shaun of te Dead

Van Helsing

I just locked in the price on all but 3. I'll decide if I want to keep them later.

From the standard UK release:

That one, and Wanted. Wanted was a horrible movie, but I like the Joile comicbook style cover.

LOL! I did, to the tune of $223.84 for all 16.

I'll worry about shelf space on 6/25!

How utterly underwhelming!

OK ill be the first to say what a lot of people are thinking.

These look horrible!

rickah88 · 04-09-2013, 02:43 PM

Pehaps the Mods can add "Reel Heroes" to the title of this thread, and insert a US flag as to not confuse with previously released versions?

Polar · 04-09-2013, 02:43 PM

I'll be broke in June..

Anyway, GREAT news for US member..

MifuneFan · 04-09-2013, 02:44 PM

Oh yeah no Wanted either huh. I thought it was a pretty cool movie myself, and worked with the comic style of the reel heroes wave.

I think the only other movies missing here that are from the "Reel Heroes" series are Green Zone and Mongol.

I agree. Seems like a lazy job of grabbing a still and running a filter on it.

More power to those that like them though.

Yes. Also Terminator 2.

So: Kick-Arse, Wanted, Green Zone, Mongol, & Terminator 2

Which would be 21 all total. Not sure of the Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz 2pack is a steelbook or not?

I agree except for the two Hulk movies...they are the only two I pre-ordered as I feel most of the others just don't fit the artwork.

I vaguely recall the T2 one, but I just googled it, and I see it's released by StudioCanal in France.
