Feels odd that this release doesn't come with a j card. Also didn't realise the back of DL-B was a flip lenti, looks good though.

Did notice that on Godzilla x Kong just this morning.. Oh! When did they stop using J-cards, with this release?

What's the flip artwork?

Any info on the box finish?

Still undecided what I should hunt after... OC or DL-A

From artwork perspective the OC box lucks just bland... any special finish or something like that would enhance it greatly.

The 4K disc has Dolby Atmos, Vision and is triple layer, 100GB.

Hopefully this is my FE and Leon premiums complete now. I just find it kinda funny that I've got a Kimchi O-ring, Manta FS and an ETB XL for each of Besson's best films

How's the pet slip?

How's the pet slip?

Snug (so was the AP PET), but really nice. The foil really sets it off, and all the lettering lines up perfectly to the slip. The FS is a little underwelming by itself, so I'm glad they added the PET.

What's the flip artwork?

I don't love the sequence but it is beautifully executed, as is the front lenti.

That is an interesting rear transition. Wasn't expecting there to be a firey skull in the middle lol I swear there isn't in the film

I agree. I have seen the film loads of times and that was the first thing I thought.

That’s a mental transition lol. Looks good

Pretty sure it’s literally a split second

Yep, that must be the case.

I will be checking carefully when I give it a spin this evening.

I kinda like no card. It’s fab for sealed collectors.
