Dune 4K UHD (1984)

[Mosin-Nagant]

I live in France so I don't know...

[postmodel]

Oh man I am so torn. I want that exclusive book but I’m currently having issues with a Zavvi order that still hasnt arrived here in the US, so I’m feeling a bit tarnished on them in this moment.

Attachment 260379 Attachment 260380

Artwork for the 4K and BD LE boxsets match.

So the difference between the two versions with a 4K disc is basically you either pick a Steelbook + BD, or a version with a 60 page book?

The steelbook is dual format. The limited edition box sets are either solely UHD or BD. The book that comes with the LE sets is hard bound, I'd imagine a smaller paper bound version comes with the steelbook.

Limited comes with book

zavvi steelbook exclusive comes without book

zavvi steelbook deluxe comes with 2 books

I got the latter

Right but you don't get the book with the steelbook. Your choice is basically:

1) 4K with paper packaging with an exclusive 60 page book
or
2) 4K plus BD and steelbook. No 60 page book.

[Dubstar]

so I'm confused, are the blurays in the Zavvi UK steel region b locked or region free ?

Ordered with Diabolik!

So confused. I just purchased the LE steelbook package from Zaavi and it appears to come with the 60-page book:




Other question: I've never ordered from Zaavi before, so I'm curious -- Are all orders from them shipped from the UK? Or do they have a US distribution center for non-UK-only releases like this? Also: How's their packing -- box/envelope? (should I be worried if this is shipped from UK to US)?

[Rizor]

I ended up going with the Zavvi deluxe steelbook. Kind of lame it just comes with the same art on the poster, while the standard steelbook has a double sided poster with two options.

I would get the Koch Ultimate set as well, but they don't seem to ship to the US. Maybe if a group buy pops up on these forums?

Deluxe steel for me! This is one hell of a set.

I would advice reading a couple of the appendices first

(I used to have a cheat sheet for which, must be in a box )

How long does membership take to process? Figure I might go for it, if it means getting 10% off.

For Arrow's releases, if it's dual US and UK releases, it's region free.

There's some confusion because of the dual US and UK releases. The Deluxe Limited Steelbook is a Zavvi UK exclusive. It seems the US is only getting the standard steelbook.

[Dubstar]

so is this poster in the steel the reverse side of the poster, with the original advance one sheet poster 'double planet' artwork ?? sorry I'm asking so many questions here...

You must have bought from Zaavi. I was unfamiliar with that version.

So I suppose my prior comment is only applicable to what you can buy on Diabolik.

After Arrow’s theatrical-cut-only release kicked me in the gut yesterday, Koch Media releases just about as perfect an edition as I could ask for (outside of the EC being 4K, too, but I guess I have to let that dream die), but they make it a Koch Films webstore exclusive that won’t ship to the United States!!! What the blue hell?! I’ve always been there for you, DUNE! Why are you hurting me?
