Blimey! That's a lovely set.

Looking good...
Anyone have any idea how the discs will be housed?
Amaray case?
Digipack?
Assuming it'll be an amaray case, judging by the beauty shot...

Majority of StudioCanal Collector's Editions use Digipack

Damn that's a big box... are we missing something? Is there a little Wicker Man in there?!

 

[Lord Vader]

Spotted this unboxing on my YouTube feed (channel - Back to the movies) just now for those interested

 

[Chievera]

Well, there is a flyer for a little Wicker Man candle, so I was kind of right?

Nice to get a look inside the collectors edition (still think it looks like a box of chocolates you might buy for your mum) but that ‘unboxing’ video is giving off some serious Garth Marenghi vibes

How long does Zavvi keep these new releases on Red Carpet exclusion list - 10% off code doesn't work on this, or the Psycho Collection...

 

[leelee17]

Delivered by amazon today...
Hopefully intact...

Got my copy today from HMV. Really like the overall presentation with this and thankfully the box isn't as chonky as I was expecting

 

[leelee17]

Arrived unscathed!!
Great set. The artwork is very nice indeed.
Great to finally get a 4k edition for this movie, getting the special treatment it deserves...

 

[Chievera]

Just finished watching it. Absolutely brilliant. What a classic!

I already received and returned 3 damaged Wicker Man boxes from amazon.co.uk and gave up on this. Anyone knows where I can order it with a good padded packaging?
