Well I wouldn't mind Toxic Avenger on blu-ray, but had heard Troma had made it clear they couldn't afford it. That wasn't first hand, so it could well not be true though.

There's no reason why people can't be disappointed with announcements (as I was for Wild Geese and Who Dares Wins, caring nothing for those films) but people's reactions and the whole "I already have that on region 1" comments miss the point in my opinion. |
Here, here! Well said indeed. Arrow has a primary market, and that should be their priority in my opinion. I don't doubt for a second Arrow take into consideration importing markets when acquiring licenses, but highly doubt it was at the forefront of their thoughts when considering Troma properties.
Troma titles have
never had any kind of
noticeable presence here in the UK, and while the vast majority of their output isn't to my interests (
The very few Troma titles, or titles Troma distribute I'd like to see) it's completely understandable why they're mining from Troma's catalogue. Anyone from markets where Troma films are readily available moaning about it is completely missing the point.
