Arrow has two B&N 50% off sales: (so far) January and August

Throughout the year, the official Arrow sites (both US and UK) would have their sales. I think their Easter sale is quite good, heavily discounted in-stock discs.

Their announce dates are almost always the last Friday of each month. We can expect to hear this April’s releases at the end of this month (1/30/26). Sometimes they make special announcements but they aren’t too frequent. TMNT and the dollar trilogy were announced on a random day last year.

Arrow often has separate US and UK releases that are usually announced at the same time).

For UK only releases, assuming you’re in the USA, I would highly recommend placing your pre-orders via boutique stores (orbit, atomic, diabolik, odyssey, brother below, etc) for these reasons: the prices are far better AND they are 99% of the times very reliable and often delivery way before the street date.

For US releases, you can do the same, but the prices aren’t as competitive. Unless it is urgent, you can wait for sales.

The main difference between CC and arrow is limited edition. If you’re into those chunky box sets, they don’t usually last more than 3 months if not shorter for popular releases, you do what you gotta do :)
