I like it too, but $58 (plus who knows how much with shipping included) is a lot when the Arrow LE had more extras, physical and on the disc, than this release. If it was less expensive, I'd double-dip.

Yes I've already got the Arrow package and contents wise it'll never best that - the PQ is just flawless. If it was (a lot) cheaper I'd buy it just for the packaging but as it is I just can't justify it.

Same here. The packaging is beautiful (I like the different take on it) but its not worth it for the $58 alone. The Arrow LE and standard are really the definitive versions (I also have the LE). It really can't be topped at this point.

I am very interested in buying this based on packaging alone, which I prefer over Arrow’s. If the encode is solid, it’s a done deal for me. Surely this will be available from the usual suspects in the US.

LPCM Stereo? Is that just a misprint and it's really the original mono, or is it a stereo downmix of the 5.1 remix?

I think the Dollars Trilogy is my only legit 4K Triple Dip so far (Kino/4Kult/Arrow) so this would be my 2nd. There would really be no good justification for it though, lol.

Has anyone determined what extras, if any, are exclusive to the forthcoming Imprint release?

None. All that's included (according to the press release) are the legacy extras that were created for the MGM Special Edition DVD in 2001. None of the extras created by Shout Factory or Arrow seem to be included.

Already have the Arrow 4K so I'm good. One of my fav movies of all time but this isn't worth the double dip. You're actually getting significantly less than both the Arrow and SF 4Ks.

Still need to know who did the encode on this.

[Mariah007]

meh!

If I pick this up, and that's a big if since there's nothing here that's new, it'll just be for that sweet packaging. It's beautiful. Gonna have to ponder it a while, though. It's 'spensive.

I do like the packaging, and the movie is a favorite but it's $72 shipped from Orbit. I already have the Scream Factory, and the Arrow so will probably pass.
