Bull Moose has them for $19.96 each. I pre-ordered them at that price a while ago.

Crap! I ordered from Best Buy because the website showed a slipcover while Amazon’s website did not.

It seems like a QUALITY restoration of a movie would take a significant amount of time and tons of money but these older films are being churned out at a rate of several per week. For instance, some 3D conversions took a year and millions of dollars... It makes me feel like we’re being duped and That re-mastering a film is the equivalent of using the 2K—>4K or SDR—> converter on a television of blu-ray. Some conversions were obviously a labor of love but others have questionable.

Several per week? more like 2 or 3 a month

Thanks, but I ordered them from Amazon to use the $5 Assistant coupon before it expired.

Why do my favorite movies always ship without slips?

First Prometheus, and now Dracula.

Alot of people already bought the 4K sourced BD (with slip), this going to cost them sales.

[thethingwithnoname]

a slip is available though...

buyer is abroad (post from Facebook) and Asian country going by the sticker, but it proves a slip does exist....somewhere.....

[thethingwithnoname]

looks embossed possibly too on the title

[Rizor]

That slip is beautiful. Hopefully we get one on the US release.

[Chaotic]

Looks like the slip will be very limited like Fifth Element. Still havent seen a slip for that in stores.

[OutOfBoose]

Embossed title is perfection.

Utter nonsense.

It will have a slip a some places depending on when Sony shipped their stock. They just can't be bothered to have them on all day one copies for whatever reason.

I'm not buying UHD titles currently because I don't have the equipment or the funds to upgrade. When I eventually do, which won't be for a while, I'm looking forward to the fact that many of the slips will be gone for the titles I want (like this one) -- it will finally end the madness of slipcover junkies like myself. Just plain black cases lined up on a shelf. There's something comforting about that.

Anyone who chooses not to buy a beautiful restoration of a film they love because it doesn't come with a cardboard slip cover is a damn idiot.

Just to let some people know, The price for the Dracula 25th Anniversary 4k edtion is $19.99 at walmart. I got super lucky today, I went to my local Walmart and they already had the movie out on the shelf. I guess they didn't realize that the movie wasn't going to be out until Tuesday. I got lucky but it's cheaper than amazon's $25.

[MoviesUnlimited]

Also it did come with a slipcover as well which looks awesome. The embossed tital and the feel of the people in the background is amazing

[The Dark Shape]

EDITED: Yay, slip!

Most of those were remastered in 4K long ago, they weren’t just put in a program on “auto” and given new scans lazily.
