Just preordered the Creepers edition of Phenomena. I might cancel it though if the reverse art is the other Creepers poster

Yep, the Creepers version has Creepers art on the front and reverse. Cancelling and ordering the Arte Originale version instead.

Think I'll preorder DGITH just in case they drop the second disc in the standard edition. It doesn't say its a limited exclusive but you never know with Arrow!

If I preorder from HMV and order something else to tip it over into the free shipping will they keep the order back and ship together or will they just post the 'in stock' item out immediately? Or will free shipping not work if I try to do that?

I’m pretty sure HMV post items when they are in stock. I’ve had orders arrive in three and four parcels, still with free postage

Yeah, I'll wait for the standard 4K version of AAWIL.

Think they'll use the same reverse art as the BD?

[MuckyFunster]

I preordered the Don’t go in the House video nasty edition. I’m not usually one to pre order anything. I’m a “pick ‘em up in the sales” kinda guy. but I do like the nasties

No money has come out. Do Arrow now bill on posting? Did they do that before?
