re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I've never bought a CC BD from Amazon.. but that glitch was worth it. I was kind of hoping to see wtf B&N was going to be this time considering the last sale had that issue w/ the coupons. Sooo I feared for current sale. I was going to cancel the set if it was a good thing w/ the coupons. Sooo... I lucked out w/ this one.

Amazingly enough... the set came in perfect. Not a dent or anything else on it. Came in the bubble packaging.
Nice packaging. Good looking and neat, if not simple. LOVE the art for the set. The first film looks damn good. I can't wait to see the rest. ESPECIALLY Shogun Assassin.

Okay, my Lone Wolf showed up today, even though I still didn't get shipping confirmation.
Thanks, Trump?

Do you mean this one? Please Amazon screw the price up on this one. And what's up with no commentaries on the first two?

Does anybody know what the deal is with the January release of The 400 Blows? Is this just a repressing of a standalone BD version? Or is it a new transfer? I all ready own the 400 Blows BD, but I can't remember offhand if it was a DVD combo.

According to Aficionado, the 2014 release was a dual format release. I believe they're going back to single format releases as they run through the stock of the dual format ones.

That makes sense and it makes me glad that I held off on the massive Zatoichi boxset. I just don't need all of the DVDs for that one.

I totally forgot Dreams came out today. It was a great surprise seeing it on the shelves when I went to pick-up Punch-Drunk Love.

Heads Up!
Amazon has Linklater's "Before Trilogy" for less than $40. Retail is $100, so this looks like a pricing error. Better act fast on this one.

I was able to snag the Amazon pricing error for Lone Wolf and Cub 10 minutes before they fixed it, so I'm really getting lucky with these mistakes.

In too for the Before Trilogy, I missed out on the Lone Wolf one. Worst case scenario, I change my mind and cancel it (or I suppose there is always the resell route). Thanks Da-Man!
