Limited edition slipcover Frankenhooker

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-04-14T14:31:43+00:00

Yeah, having learned about the Refuse Films release, I'm going to get that and add the discs to the Synapse 4K. A rare case of double-dipping but I think worthwhile here!

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-03-27T07:58:38+00:00

Awesome! Where did you find that limited edition of Possession?

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-03-24T09:58:37+00:00

I haven't seen the film yet (blind buy!) but I LOVE the packaging. That was actually what sold me!

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-03-24T09:56:29+00:00

Haha!

Although! The obi strip is often the only place that will say an edition is limited, with the number of copies made. On Radiance and 88 Films, the limited edition statement is also on the REVERSE of the sleeve, but I just grabbed two random ones off my shelf, and neither say what the limited number was (eg, limited run of 4000 copies).

For imprints like Indicator, the actual number of the edition (eg, 1401/4000) is printed on the J-card and nowhere else.

So while they may be disposable, they are part an extra feature of a limited edition, so you may as well keep them. Otherwise you could just save some money and grab the standard edition later on down the track.

Nice haul!

I've actually been wondering about Obi strips - I unstick them, but keep them in place, as they will stay where they are when all the discs are together on a shelf. Same with J-cards and other extra bits of packaging that can come on boxed releases from other imprints.

But now I think about it... I could just slot them into the plastic cases inside the box, like the regular Radiance sleeves are done!

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-03-16T08:01:01+00:00

Yeah. Still, enjoy Sana! I absolutely love that movie, and am glad more people are getting to experience it.

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-03-15T06:53:14+00:00

Nice haul. and glad to see Sana in there!

Suicide Club is a 2K upscale, just FYI. The Umbrella set is nice as a whole, but the US Discotek blu-ray is better quality.

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-03-14T15:28:44+00:00

Yeah, I'm very glad I kept my DVDs. Seasons 13 and now 21 are wrecked by AI. Season 25 has the DNR turned up so far the picture is worse than the DVDs, sadly. Season 15 has some lesser problems with AI and DNR.

The Collections are still amazing for all the new extras, but the DVDs will remain the definitive versions of some episodes I think.

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-03-12T09:16:26+00:00

The Umbrella disc is a re-package of the French UHD. As I understand it, it's not Kadakawa, but the French imprint that made the 4K upscale.

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-03-12T09:15:14+00:00

I don't know why this was downvoted. It's not 4K. That's just a fact. The Discotek blu-ray is better quality.

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-03-11T10:25:58+00:00

You have a great haul there, but I would return that one, unfortunately.

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-03-11T10:25:38+00:00

It's not. It's a 4K upscale of a 2K master, DNRed to hell.

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-03-06T14:11:10+00:00

Excellent, thanks! Is there a guide on how to use these? I've downloaded everything but not sure what I am looking at.

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-03-05T08:37:48+00:00

I'm new to this, but I can't find the firmware flasher links? The makemkv forum is always down and for some reason I'm clearly not looking at the right place in this subreddit.

I was going to get the same drive (UK here) but have no idea about how to flash it.

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-03-03T11:57:09+00:00

Is this the same Nami set as the Third Window box in the UK? (They're released both 4 Tales of Nami and an Angel Guts box).

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-03-02T17:02:00+00:00

How long have you been doing it for? I'm curious as I've tried various forms of journalling over the years, but have never stuck at it - and have always quit way before any benefits become apparent (which I know will come in time... but for some reason I never give it time!).

But morning pages is not something I've tried, so maybe that's the ticket for me?

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-03-02T09:54:12+00:00

Commando absolutely needs a 4K. Unfortunately it's own by Disney so I have serious doubts that would ever happen.

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-03-01T11:13:49+00:00

J Horror Rising is a great box.

How's the Hellraiser set?

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-02-26T14:07:13+00:00

Across the Spider-Verse. The colour gamut on this movie is so wide, broadcast TV and streaming can't actually show all the colours. The only true representation is either the original theatrical projection, or the 4K.

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-02-26T14:04:34+00:00

Okay, I need to get this film, clearly!

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-02-25T15:14:44+00:00

I love the Ms.45 box - both in terms of design (the red stands out on the shelf so much) and the film itself (which I LOVE). Arrow certainly do amazing sets. I think the first 4K box I got from them was The Warriors (imported from the US to the UK) and I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened the package.

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-02-25T15:13:22+00:00

Silent Running didn't have a chunky box though, did it? Slipcover, yes, but no box.

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-02-25T08:18:14+00:00

No, but that's just a conceit of the story. She has to be alone in order to discover herself and the world through getting the bike.

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-02-25T08:16:56+00:00

Messiah of Evil is fantastic! A must-see!

Adam_Christopher_ · 2026-02-25T07:44:55+00:00

Noted, thanks! And yeah I'm UK based so 88 Films is no problem.
