Edit - Preordered now!

The ultimate collector’s editions with NECA figures were/are limited in number.

Looks like a strong possibility I will be double dipping on this now.

javi92 · 07-12-2018, 11:21 PM

So since it’s director approved, there’s bound to be controversy over color timing, framing, or something else.

I was hoping for the "Tour of the Inferno" doc from the Pioneer LD to be included

Markgway · 07-12-2018, 11:28 PM

Now that I know this is from a new master I'm interested again, but am still not gonna run out a pay top dollar (or £).

Like most other Shout catalog steels, it should drop in price soon enough (lower than $15).

. I'll probably pick this up though - MGM titles have a slim to non-existent chance of appearing on UHD at the moment. Any remaster's good news but it's a wasted opportunity, so boooo, but also yaaay! But mainly boooo!

Exactly my thoughts. My main concern is buying this then SF later releasing a UHD. Now that all the studios are supporting the format I have to believe the boutiques will. I would even settle for a 4K without HDR at this point.

Just placed my order. Hopefully this goes better than the debacle that was The Apartment.

postmodel · 07-13-2018, 12:31 AM

Aren’t all of thier steelbooks usually limited to 10,000? It looks like this is a Shout release and not a Shout Select release.

I’m probably gonna pick this up. Never owned it before though I do enjoy it.

Arrow's release of The Apartment is simply fantastic. WTF?!

I meant the problems with filling the orders. That was a limited run as well.

evilive · 07-13-2018, 01:12 AM

Outstanding! Loving that artwork for the steel. Day 1.

Smegma · 07-13-2018, 03:27 AM

I'm more interested in getting this without the steelbook. I wonder if that will be an option, after the 10,000 initial steelbooks sell out.

I was also wondering what this meant.

The DP was on one of those yearly Oscar roundtables few years ago and told a story how Stone kept demanding more and more yellow in timing, going beyond his own good judgement, when they were finishing Platoon.

Taking a quick look at some screenshots the current bluray version it doesnt seem particularly yellow.

Yeah, but you always have to add on a few quid for the UK.

We never get US titles as cheap as Americans (and vice-versa to be fair).

captainsolo · 07-14-2018, 09:03 PM

It'd be nice to have the original audio back, and IIRC even the LD box set was a remix.
Speaking of which, I need to track that one down. The complete box version was a masterclass of disc packaging art.

brian9229 · 08-15-2018, 09:52 PM

They're not tricking me with director approved. I'm sorry but im done with their "director", or "DP Approved" malarkey. Their release of The Thing taught me a valuable lesson. Thanks anyway.

Geoff D · 08-15-2018, 11:12 PM

New 4K scan of...what element, exactly? Hopefully this was done in-house at MGM in any case.
