That set is gonna be a nightmare to store and take discs out of!

I’m quite pleased that I’m not really in the Shaw Brothers movies (probably due to my own ignorance). I don’t know why but it’s been a line of movies that have never really appealed to me, despite being a huge Kung Fu movie fan.

I’ve got no doubt I’m missing out here……..if this is a sensible price it could be my way into the SB catalogue.

Pochacco · 07-09-2021, 01:41 PM

I wonder if it's the same dimensions as the Bond 50 boxset?

Given the size of it there's no excuse not to have individual cases.

*Fingers crossed*

Foggy · 07-09-2021, 01:46 PM

Oh shit!

I dunno if I’ll pick up this set, or hopefully a smaller more compact one later down the line.

Don't be silly, it'll be one of those stupid book style packages where you have to awkwardly slide the discs in and out of some flimsy cardboard.

grim_tales · 07-09-2021, 01:58 PM

That's going to be a big chunky box and doesnt look like it'll fit easily on a shelf. Wonder how limited it is?

I already some of those seperate releases (watched 5 Shaolin Masters and Executioners from Shaolin the other day).

Knowing Arrow there'll probably be a non limited one later without the book and stuff in normal cases.

BigNickUK · 07-09-2021, 01:58 PM

Looks like they jumped the gun as the page has been taken down

Rutger Lundgren · 07-09-2021, 02:02 PM

Twelve films in one set, now that's more manageable than what was being suggested in another thread.

How odd - takes me to a page with a sad looking Labrador and:

"SORRY
we couldn't find that page
Try searching or go to Amazon's home page."

Thunderleg · 07-09-2021, 02:17 PM

I think I may have to wait for the standard set. This looks way too large and annoying to access.
