Also titles like Jackass, Spongebob & Wonderpark from Paramount.

I really, really hope and pray some Warner and Disney 3D titles will follow one day.

Also hoping for Sony titles like the 2 "Venom" movies to complete the trilogy in 3D, "Men in Black: International", "Alpha" and the 2026 movie "Spider-Man 4".

Well RSM got the rights to release Spidey No way Home so you never know.

Different license deals for different markets. RSM was in Australia (universal and Sony were together for home release), Turbine in Germany. Plaion has Sony titles in Germany.

More's the pity, otherwise maybe we could have gotten Spacehunter

Plaion also has Warner titles in Germany.

My total came out to 59 pounds and change (after using 9 pounds in points)... I didn't notice any extra charge for shipping (and if memory serves, I didn't see any additional charge on my order last time I ordered the bundle from them)

I use my Amazon Visa card so perhaps that is more international friendly? (I'm pulling that out of my ass, I don't know if being "international friendly " is a thing!)

Not really sure... it should have been ~56 euros + ~13 euros shipping to the US (so 69 euros or ~$71-72). Maybe you got lucky and got undercharged on the shipping. And as others have said, the Amazon chase card has no international fees.

Anyway, first bundle where I've bought all 3... Turbine is the GOAT.
Imagine how good Und Wieder Ist Freitag der 13 is going to look (love the German title, haha)

Nah, I'm just an incredible moron and had no idea what I was talking about at all!

I just love my 3D tv and love getting these titles (finally) on the format!

Absolutely thrilled to have ordered this latest bundle, finally being able to obtain Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3D without needed to buy a bulky box set is wonderful news to those who may not have been interested in owning the entire franchise.

It sounds right, his shipping came down to only €3 after applying €9 worth of points he had.

I have €30 something euros as points right now, the next bundle will be pretty much half off for me

The Koch Germany release included 3D but only Anaglyph. I'll admit I don't recall why it was Anaglyph only but I wonder if Turbine could pull off that miracle since it got a 3D release of sorts already in Germany

It was anaglyph only (or rather as an extra) because Koch couldn't be bothered to put it out properly. As long as they have the rights in Germany I suspect there's nothing Turbine can do.

I have to assume Monster Trucks is coming. It's Paramount, streamed on SKY in 3D and I have a copy on my Metaquest in 3D so it wouldn't be much work.

Turbine 3D Collector Series – Shopping Strategy Guide

Now with twelve 3D titles available to order from Turbine, here is a guide how to save on prices and on shipping, especially when ordering from overseas.
(prices/shipping cost: 31 Jan 2025)
Basic things to know about Turbine’s shop which is located at Turbine-shop.com

• The shop has an English interface. On the desktop website, there is a country flag in the top right corner. On a mobile website, the language selection Is in the main menu.
• The descriptions of the titles are sometimes not translated; you can use Google Translate to achieve that.
• Link to search for 3D titles specifically: https://turbine-shop.de/en/search?or...f735&search=3d
• If you’re within Europe, prices are shown with your local VAT. This includes UK (even though it is not in the EU anymore). The VAT is selected by your default shipping address.
• If you are outside Europe, prices are shown without VAT. Therefore, a 3D title costs €24.99 when ordering from Germany, but only €21 if ordering from, say, USA. A bundle costs €66.72 in Germany, and €56.07 to USA. The VAT is selected by your default shipping address.
• Currency is Euro (€) which is also used for the following calculations. You can recalculate it to your currency easily enough.
• Every 3D wave so far (#01-03, #04-06, #07-09, #10-12) has also been available as bundle sets, including all three titles, and cheaper than when you order them separately – thus, they cost only €66.72 instead of 74.97 (within Germany) or €56.07 instead of €63 (to USA).
• The bundle price is only valid for particular bundles as listed in the shop, not any triple of 3D titles!
• Every €1 spent at the shop results in 1 bonus point. Therefore, you get 25 points for ordering 1x 3D BluRay within Germany, and 21 points when ordering to USA.
• You can use bonus points to reduce the price of your next order. 10 points = €1.
• If you use bonus points to reduce the price, the points you receive for this order are reduced accordingly.

Ordering Strategies
Germany
Shipping cost within Germany Is easy-peasy: everything over 50€ is shipped free, so you can order each bundle separately and apply the bonus points you collect for it to the next order, reducing it by 67 points = €6.70)

UK
Now here an example for UK.
Single 3D title to UK costs €25.20; a Bundle costs €67.28
Shipping:
• 1x-3x BluRay: €8.95
• 4x+ BluRay: €15.95
If you need more than one bundle, you do best getting all in one shipment. Here an example for 4 bundles (the ones that are available now):
4x 67.28 = €269.12
€269.12+15.95 = €285.07
(and you have 270 points = €27 discount for your next order)

However: even though Turbine is already paying the correct VAT, some rogue UK customs workers insist on having it paid again upon import. Thus, it may be safer to keep orders under 150€ (135£).

USA
Now with USA, it’s more complicated, as the price of shipping depends on the weight.
With 3D titles, the shipping costs the following (subject to change):

• 1x-6x BluRay: €12.95
• 7x-8x BluRay: €18.95
• 9x+ BluRay: €39.95

Let’s say, you want to buy all 12 titles from Turbine. They are available in bundles à 3 discs, and cost €56.07 each.

The best way would be splitting it in two orders:
Order 1: Bundle1 + Bundle2
56.07+56.07 = €112.14
(which results in 113 bonus points = €11.30 discount)

112.14 + 12.95 (shipping 6x BluRays) = €125.09
Order 2: Bundle3 + Bundle4
56.07+56.07 = €112.14

However, you have 113 bonus points (=€11.30 discount) from Order 1 that you can use here!

112.14 – 11.30 (points discount) = €100.84
100.84+12.95 (shipping) = 113.79
Total price for all 4 bundles: 125.09+113.79 = €238.88
(and you get 101 bonus points = €10.1 discount for your next order!)

For comparison, if you order all 4 bundles in one shipment:
4x 56.07 = €224.28
Shipping cost: €39.95
224.28 + 39.95 = €264.23
(as opposed to €238.88)
However, you will have 225 points (€22.50 discount) to spend on your next order.

If you order less than 4 bundles, you best split your order so you get a shipment of 2 bundles + the rest in another shipment.

A detail about the bonus points: If you use them, Turbine will declare the price of the movie at full cost nevertheless. This means, if you have some import free threshold for goods in your country (like mine, Switzerland, 63 Francs), this doesn't help to bring down the cost and stay under said threshold.

Good to know. Added an additional info as to that point.

I'll get Scream 6. Is Friday the 13th significant different other than the opening credits are fixed to come out of the screen? If it's just that I don't want to rebuy, I have the wrong version, which came from Ebay, but I still haven't rewatched it since release. I didn't like the Turtles movie unfortunately.

Yes. Almost every shot has been repaired.

There were some alignment issues on the Shout discs, in some parts one eye view is higher than the other. Don’t know if that’s how it originally was in theaters. I’ll keep all 3 discs.

I'm hoping, Monster Trucks was decent 3D in the theater.

My #1 Turbine 3D release wish is Peter Jackson's They Shall Not Grow Old! Please, please!

[Tober27]

A couple for me would be the Chinese animated Ne Zha films. The second one is out now and already the biggest movie in China of all time. The animation is great.
No idea where the rights land with those.

I agree that this would be a wonderful title to have on 3D Blu-ray! While not at my absolute top (that is the conversion of the original Jaws), this really up there.
