Exactly, the last release, period.

Uhh, where are they then? If they're 'dickless', what's stopping them now?
There are a dozen prepaid preorders, not a single one shipped out since Predator!

Agree. Where's my Scott Pilgrim? That's a Universal release. Not a word about anything now.... It's bull ****.

Nah, that'll be the same discless editions. They never updated the listings in that respect. It's unlikely to be a reprint either. It's just fac flogging excess stock at inflated prices, as they've done with most of their back catalogue.

Thanks for the info, looks like I was wrong lol. It did seem strange and them prices are crazy.

£277 each and there is me thinking the £140 I paid on ebay was expensive.

Lowlife rip off b#stards...
There's no reasonable justification for them putting them out at that price...

Unless they're funding our refunds.

Unless they're funding our refunds.

They're actually issuing refunds?

If only. I wouldn't be putting that rofl emoticon then...

Nah, that'll be the same discless editions.

From another thread:

we kindly inform you that we have started sales of the FAC #158 PREDATOR E1 + E2 + E3 + E4 + E5 editions featuring both 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray 3D/2D discs.

 

[leelee17]

So they've added the discs? Well, I guess the 7777CZK is justifiable then...

 

[BluSteel2012]

Why didnt they come with discs again in the first place?

I can't remember. Was it a licencing issue?

What thread would that be? Are you sure that wasn't the initial announcement, when they very first went up for preorder, rather than a recent development.

Yeah, disney essentially told them not to release the editions post the fox merger, after months of back and forth. Then they refused to issue fac with the discs to fill the editions when they said they planned to go ahead regardless, thus leaving fac the choice between cancelling the release, or making it discless.
