The 88 Films Blu-Ray Thread

Just watched Seeding of a Ghost.  As KillerMeteor says back on page 1 of this thread, the dub is Mandarin and not, as stated on the sleeve and the menu, the Cantonese one.

Overall, PQ is really nice, apart from the occasional scene where it seems to have been shot in soft-focus (and if so, then nothing can be done about that).

Also, in regard to the subtitles, I found the general lack of grammar irritating (i.e. very few "!", "?" and periods/full stops - but maybe that's just me).

There also appears to be a line of dialogue missing around the 27:30 mark (maybe my BD player is to blame?)

The doc/interview with Calum Waddell was OK, but no great shakes.

The pre-order have been up for a little while on Amazon UK, I had it in my basket. However, I will wait and buy it directly from 88 Films.

That is place where preorders if shipped most likely happens in prior of official release day...(Y)

Received my copy of "Killer Constable" yesterday. That was 9 days from the UK to NYC - much quicker than Amazon UK.  I am still waiting on an order that I placed with Amazon UK 2 days prior than when I placed my order with 88 Films..

It did come with the slip cover.

Mine took around 11 days, but 5 days of that was just pre-order time. I received my shipping notice on the 10th and it was here on the 16th. If I was waiting on Amazon, it probably would not be here until early to mid April. :smile

Glad yours has the slip. 

I am glad they are offering such a great deal for the fans.

Just got my Amazon order a few minutes ago - that would be 4 days longer than 8 Films. According to email notifications, the Amazon order was shipped before I placed the 88 films order.On a separate not, I usually get my Amazon US orders within a day or two.

I was going to buy "Masked Avengers" from Amazon but that slipcase is too good to pass up on. Pre-ordered!

I pre-ordered too.

Hopefully I ordered in time to be one of those to get the slipcase.

That is now 7 of the 8, waiting on "Seeding" to come back in stock.

It's already sent !!! :bs_attention_clap_boy::bs_attention_clap_boy::BL-GoodJob::BL-GoodJob:

 

 

Mine too! But, this has me worried! Their website says that they won't have stock in until around April the 10th. So, did they get stock in early or are we getting the discs without the slipcovers? Or, maybe they will be sending the slipcovers later. Hopefully, they just haven't updated their website. But, it is odd that we are going to get this so soon. But, I am not going to complain if we get what we paid for a little early.

I think that I have the explanation of this fast shipping : I just received a message from 88 telling that they mistakenly sent Killer constable instead of Masked avengers...

Either they're sending "Masked Avengers" out super early or they've fucked up and sent a lot of people "Kill Constable" by mistake. I got an email saying mine has shipped, also.

That's the same that I received...

I'm sure we'll all be receiving the same apology email you got very soon. I wonder how they plan to remedy the situation. I hope they let me keep "Killer Constable" (if, indeed, that is what they've shipped) and also send me "Masked Avengers".
