I assume is usual Lionsgate Pet Slip as in same as USA release

Lionsgate BBFC age rating is printed on UK pet slips
 
So they are gradually re-releasing them, hence the "First Printing" mark on US ones.
No, it's not a re-release. It'sbeing released in a different region, for the first time, via a different scanavo factory.

The "first pressing" bit is printed on the US steels to identify between the first and subsequent US pressings. Dirty dancing for example has already been restocked in the US.
 
Hopefully they issued new PET slips because I returned over 30 copies that were broken and missing chips on the edges. Usually at the bottom.

So far this is the only one I’ve seen with this issue from all the releases I’ve done group buys for.

This included copies shipped from the warehouse and direct from stores.
 
  • Thanks
  • Wow

I’m also glad we are getting these over here too. Although finishes could differ... for the worse

As much as I like the art I’m not interested in this release. Already have a steel and it’s not a film I want to double dip on. But I’m glad these editions are making their ways over here
