amazon.co.uk status is bad for me :
Arriving Wed, 28 Oct - Thu, 29 Oct
Not yet dispatched

Certainly for the next week...Its very hard delivery for hell

This could be also interesting, a lot of stuff for interpretation

That normal status for arrival time as it is based on expected despatch times which can change to be earlier or later
Expected arrival time will change when your order is despatched
Amazon will start shipping orders at the earliest on Sat 24th/Sun 25th
Some customers orders will be despatched on Mon 26th or Tue 27th

Amazon add 2-3 days for the expected delivery time after been despatched but some customers actual delivery time will be less
With my orders for example despatched using An Post on a Sun I would have expected delivery time been the Wed but I would actually get delivery on the Tue
If my order is sent using Royal Mail or iParcel then its longer delivery time

Had my review discs arrive yesterday (review embargoed)

All I'll say is that Surgeon scene from Hellbound, you can clearly see why it was deleted in the first place

Second online reviews of the week : http://www.frontrowreviews.co.uk/dvdblu-ray/hellraiser-the-scarlet-box-blu-ray-review/35959

So now you want to know about those discs? Well below is the listed info on what is on each disc. The new prints look ok. The first two films are grainy and the 2k adds little extra. The sound is clean and textured but only on the second and third parts. The Third part has never been so good. Much of the content is taken from elsewhere. I want to make a point here and explain that if you have the Anchor bay DVD then the extras are the same bar one additional feature Leviathan. This is a great doc on the series and is very much worth the time. The Barker Book is great as is the additional disc which has new features as well. Anchor Bay covered much ground in this series on disc and Arrow have taken it a little along the road…. The real truth however should be this. Well done to Arrow for putting on a great film. Putting it into a format well deserved and then making it have a treatment fit for kings….Well cenobites at the least…

One week to go!!

***HELLRAISER THE SCARLET BOX RELEASE UPDATE***
For all HELLRAISER pre-order customers: As you’ve seen with the HELLRAISER Artwork Update, we’ve really tried to create something unique with THE SCARLET BOX. We’ve worked closely with the printers and manufacturers to perfect every element of the box and its contents, and as a result, it has taken a little longer than expected to complete the final package. The HELLRAISER Trilogy will be shipping from our store and online retailers the week of October 26th, and we are expecting for them to be with you for Halloween. We know you’ve all been looking forward to this release for months now, and please know that we’ve gone to every limit to get these in your hands as soon as possible.

Saw that on their twitter feed yesterday. It's only a delay for the direct orders from them(who would usually get it this week or earlier) online retailers have it for the 26th anyway .

It's now Sold Out with all retailers
If you did not already pre order your looking at third party sellers after release date

With Amazon UK if someone for whatever reasons cancelled their order it would become available very quickly but would also be sold just as quick
I can't see anyone wanting to cancel an order they be crazy to do so as the price of this after release date will be mad with third party sellers

Completely Sold Out before release date

 

[LloydJBailey]

Just to clarify, you mean SOLD OUT or ZAVVI SOLD OUT? lol - just kiddin'… really hyped to see this in person now. Glad I pre-ordered… I was considering waiting.

It keeps popping in and out of stock on Amazon so anybody who still wants one should probably just check the page any chance they get. I managed to get one earlier today and it's even shipped out already.

Another place to look for OOS Arrow releases is Amazon.it. It costs quite a bit more, but they tend to have stock around even when everyone else is sold out. I got Arrow's Videodrome release through them about four or five days after it was gone everywhere else.

Are you saying that you have received dispatch confirmation from Amazon?

Just checked and I made a mistake. Dispatch confirmation was for a different Amazon order. My bad,

 

[cooey]

There's a slight delay on this one and won't actually ship until Monday/Tuesday from most retailers, including Arrow.

Mondo Digital has an immense write up of The Scarlet Box.

Looks nice, but went with the Velvet German edition. Looks far classier

The 200 page hardback book in the Arrow release is worth the purchase alone

The german release is ok but not as good as the Arrow Video release
Its something I would consider as a later secondary purchase but not a priority purchase as the Arrow Video release is for me

Disagree. Plus I already have the 3 large detailed hardback books on the making of each film which are far nicer than this book and most likely borrows heavily from them
