Dario Argento: The Neo-Giallo Collection Official announcement - Page 3

Most horror/cult film distributors do something like that by releasing limited edition DVDs and BDs, or re-releasing titles with new artwork. Arrow are by no means alone in realising how obsessive some collectors can be -- and I'm one of them!

I actually think this release is a nice idea. I don't have any of these films so I'll be buying it. However, if I did already own them I certainly wouldn't pay Â£7 for a box...
Just my opinion.

I won't be buying the box. I can buy another DVD (or 2) for that amount. But each to their own...

As I said previously I already own all of these titles, albeit not the Arrow releases. If a blu-ray release of these titles isn't forthcoming from other sources (I'm aware The Stendahl Syndrome is available on blu, but I'm not that big a fan of the movie) then I'll be picking up this box for sure. The box with the dvd's in it that is, not the empty one. Truth be told if I do buy it I'll be displaying each title separately, so if anyone's looking to buy a box.....

I think the funny remark was not regarding Arrow selling the box, but for the 7Â£ that are asked.

I'm aware of that, sorry. Sarcasm doesn't translate well on the internet.

Considering the flak Arrow have had from some quarters in recent months, i've got to commend the person with the balls to say "I know, lets flog em an empty cardboard box for 7 quid"

Ouch!

This may come across like a message on a broken record but, if you don't like it, don't buy it!

I think the issue is that some people may like but don't want to pay Â£7 for it. I thought I'd check and it's actually Â£10 inc postage. I bought the Shameless Fulci box for Â£12 new and that included three dvd's with it!
