I hope that the 212 discs in your Shaw library at least include a decent cross-section of films from their other genres, because those are likely to remain the only discs in existence for a lot of them (especially the IVL discs), and the opportunity to find others at this point is exceedingly difficult and expensive (unless one is ok using those "other" means, I suppose?). I always wanted to get the ZiiEagle but didn’t have any way of getting it to Canada. It would have been nice to have 668 Shaw films in one spot. That box only had the films at 720p max and from what the owners of the box have told, the films that did not have a physical release, were not remastered and look worse than DVD. Not YouTube bad but not far off. |

I want that Shaw Brothers volume 2 set, but I think I’m going to hold out for a sale.

Its release should dovetail with Barnes and Noble’s 50% off sale (which Amazon has been price matching), so it should be around $95 on day one.

I feel like there was an Arrow sale (maybe it was direct) not long after it came out and it was not included in the sale price. Maybe 30% off max. I would love if it works out that way to be 50%, but I’m not banking on it until it’s actually out.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
The Target B2G1 sale isn't a bad option, either. That's what I did last year.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Just to correct myself. I looked back at my Amazon order history and I got Volume 1 for $129.99 plus tax and it came out to like $141 and change.
I’ll try to hold out until Volume 2 hits below $100. |
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Noticed Grindhouse Video has a two-fer pre-order of Shawscope 1 and 2 for $220.
https://grindhousevideo.com/products/shawscope-bundle-volumes-1-and-2-blu-ray Their pre-order price on Vol. 2 by itself is $140, so technically speaking, that makes Vol. 1 $80. Or each set $110 if you prefer. Not sure if other retailers will do this (really makes you think Vol. 1 wasn’t as massively popular as the hype would have you believe) but might be worth considering for folks who don’t have Vol. 1 yet. Personally, I have Vol. 1 so I’m likewise in the “wait till it’s under $100” camp on Vol. 2 (maybe even under $90), because it will get there eventually. |
Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
It looks like Grindhouse ($119.99) and Diabolik ($124.99) raised their prices on Shawscope Vol 2 to $139.99.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Yeah I’m going to wait until it’s under $100. It’s a little high for me at the moment and it’s not like this set is limited.

Well Arrow just announced new releases of the Wolf of Wall Street and Robin Hood Princes of Thieves but they are UK only releases. I would have liked to buy Robin Hood.

Upgrade to 4K or buy a region-free Blu-ray player and you won't have that issue anymore.

I'll consider importing Robin Hood so thanks for the insight.

Kinda surprised there hasn't already been a Sonny Chiba boxed boxed set assembled that would include this and maybe some of his similar films from that period. I know Shout did the STREET FIGHTER set, and Arrow has done some singles, but Chiba did a lot of movies (and movie series) that could be bundled together in cool packages.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Shawscope Volume 2 is down to $140 in Amazon US if interested.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I received the Shawscope vol 2 set today. I was totally shocked. It's going to be a few weeks before I can bury myself in it though.

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
Two months early? Where did you order from?

Since these are in-stock and already shipping, my conspiratorial mind is wondering if this is to avoid dovetailing with Barnes and Noble’s 50% off sale. |

Re: The Official Arrow Films 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
I'm only a little peeved about Silent Running being re-released in 4K. Seems I just got the Blu-ray. But it's not like the old days of a barebones DVD later getting a special edition.
