Wooowwww…
Are the discs stored in the booklet or does it come in a steelbook #hopeful
The discs in this will be in a standard case. There is a seperate steelbook release – https://www.steelbookbluray.com/sci-fi-romp-flash-gordon-is-getting-a-zavvi-exclusive-4k-steelbook-release/
The Steelbook is Sold Out
Jason Upham no it’s not. Read the post. It’s not live yet
Would go for this for the poster alone, if the poster came flat or rolled. As it is, it will be folded and creased unfortunately. So steelbook it is I guess
FYI, posters in the 80s were folded.
I started collecting DVDs to save space. Now they come with an additional crate!
With the Studio Canal 4K boxset/steelbook releases, I tend to double dip if there is value to it
Apocalypse Now didn’t have anything in the boxset over the steelbook, and the Angel Heart steelbook was announced after I’d got the 4K release. The other ones I got because of the extra stuff included
This is worth double dipping on
Thanks for posting looks amazing. Would love Highlander to get the same treatment.
Don’t know if your interested Lyndon Cutting
Michael Hunter i take a look when I’m home, cheers
Ordered
For the 16 page Titan mini book (The Story of Flash Gordon) the full book is released on 27/10
