Received mine today from CAV (ordered 9/18).

Didn't realize it was coming with an O Card.

To answer my own question- it came inside a bubble wrap pocket inside a cardboard box, which pretty much how I remember the Phenomena steel coming last year.

Looks like this is back ordered from Diabolik. I wonder if they will be getting any more...

For as contentious as Blu Ray collectors are( especially when it comes to something thats been delayed for 4 fucking years), this seems to be an almost universal success. Everyone is saying how amazing it looks. Mine should arrive before the weekend, and I'm setting up 4K tv tomorrow. I know whats getting the first spin.

Watched mine last night. Freaking gorgeous! Even bigger surprise (for me) was the restored audio though.

Got mine today! The packaging is beautiful. Unfortunately I'm going out of town for the next week so I won't have the chance to watch it any time soon.

Haven't watched it again yet, so I honestly don't know whether I made a wise purchase or not.
For a long time now I've wanted to see what all it's fans and admirers see in it. Something that eluded me on a first viewing years back.

I've followed the odyssey of Don working on this for years now. I know he had a passion for the film and he took his time working on 'getting it right' like any true craftsman. It's exciting and a bit of a privilege to support an effort like that.

But whether I end up finally digging it or not, I just wanted to say how substantial this package feels even simply holding it in your hands. With 3 discs, plus the steel, plus the O card there is a heaviness and solidity to it that is impressive. $50 is a sizable chunk of dough, yet I'm wishing all of my favorite films could have received this kind of TLC and treatment. I would absolutely reorganize my budget around picking up 3 or 4 editions like this per year versus buying a lot of 'on sale' filler just to have new stuff to watch.

Customer Service has been great on this release. My Slipcover came with a whole lot of boxcutter/razor cuts all over it, so I'm getting a replacement sent in the mail.

Saw the 4K Restoration in theaters a few months ago, so I'm hoping for more of the same mind-blowing quality

My HDN copy was mailed yesterday! Hopefully I'll be watching this next weekend! Was a LONG wait for this release.

Caps-a-holic just added the Synapse Bd to it's comparisons.

I was wrong about the AB DVD looking overly similar to the new Bd. There is, in some cases, a HUGE difference in how colorful the new edition is.

Still haven't gotten around to spinning it yet- but I did sample the first few minutes with the 4.0 track.

The picture is gorgeous but was really knocked me back in my chair was the audio. UN-FREAKING-REAL.

I'll get the two disc when the price drops a bit. Hopefully for Halloween.
