Thanks Paul, ordered !

 

[Chievera]

I think I might need to do this as well, considering a UK release may not happen / be a long time coming.

Whoa, that's what I've been waiting for - a cool simultaneous release of two movies, or a Boxset of both!

You get a booklet in each separate edition, I hope the texts from both are combined in this one.
Or maybe it's better to buy two separate ones, for artwork.

I am going for separate editions too.

But I'm afraid the booklets of the three editions have the same content. Just with a different cover.

The separate editions costs a lot more for not much difference. Exact same content. So it is just for the outer box and maybe 2 booklets instead of one but also with same content.
Even i as a die hard conan fan am passing on this as i think it is not worth the extra money

 

[5t33lb0y]

I only care for 4K discs so i'll just go with what is cheaper at time of purchase.

Btw, Amazon link already reachable, but not avaliable for purchase yet.

I wonder if the bluray with the extras is region free too?

[JinxyKatte]

@JinxyKatte
This is a USA/Canada release only licensed from Universal Pictures North America
Previous USA/Canada blu-ray releases was from Universal
North America rights are with Universal not Fox

International distribution rights outside USA/Canada in regards to Conan the Barbarian are with Fox aka Disney that's why it's available to stream on Disney+ in UK/Ireland and other countries in Europe that have Disney+/Star
Previous UK Blu-ray releases of Conan the Barbarian was from Fox

Amazon USA price will drop to $59.99 or less before release date
A pre order they will auto apply to a order any price drops that happen

It will also be available to order after USA release date on Amazon UK (As in a Import USA Global Shop listing) with seller been Amazon US and shipped by Amazon US (UK Delivery Address only price will include UK vat and delivery)

Wow HD will have 4K edition listed soon
They have the Blu-ray edition listed at the moment

 

[Fmac72]

Also even if they had UK rights the releases will be cut as per BBFC.

 

[Jocelin]

@paulboland do you know if the import duties are included when ordering from arrow us ?

 

[paulboland]

@paulboland do you know if the import duties are included when ordering from arrow us ?

Arrow Video USA store In regards to EU delivery address
I not had a delivery yet from arrow video US store so I don't know for sure

I seen some mention on other web forums they was not hit by customs

I usually use Amazon USA or Wow HD for Arrow Video USA releases
Wow HD have the Blu-ray Edition listed
The 4K edition not listed yet on Wow HD but should be at some stage before release date


Amazon USA price will drop to $59.99 or less before release date

 

[ishothim6x]

I’ve never had any extra customs charges to pay on anything imported from Arrow US and I’ve always received them fairly quick, considering the negligible postage fee they charge.

 

[TristanYoshi]

Super pumped these are coming out on 4K but I want a steelbook D:

 

[paulboland]

Best buy has price as $42.99 which is likely a mistake

Amazon have price matched that price

 

[Inb4LoKi]

i could save 6 bucks by cancelling my Canadian order and jumping on Amazon us. but I'm not going to that much hassle for 6 bucks and change. stupid Amazon

 

[Lenny Nero]

I wanted to get separate editions, even was going to overpay about $10 for each movie, but this deal makes it basically 2 for the price of 1, and I can no longer justify buying separately.
Thank you @paulboland, preordered!
