UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

Damn, they definitely swindled me. I pre-ordered the steelbook, but at least the standard edition is pretty much the same price - and going by the spine, it's only 1-disc, so no bonus disc, unfortunately.

Very true.

The more I think about it, there is zero chance they decided like a week ago to release the standard edition day and date with the other releases, inked an exclusivity deal with HMV AND got Toho to sign off on another piece of art...
I'm starting to think they may have, absolutely shockingly, LIED about having "no plans" 😱

Just need them to announce that Macross Plus collector's edition now (that they 100% have no plans of releasing for at least 12 months).
 
It does leave a bit of a nasty taste in your mouth.

They could have just kept their mouth shut and come out with the standard edition when they have and most people would understand - you want to steer people toward your more premium editions before announcing the standard 4K, cool, it's a thing that some distributors/licensors do, I'll live.

However, to come out and pretty much outright be dishonest and mislead customers by saying there were no plans for a standard edition at this time is pretty icky from AL.
 
From the looks of it, the Godzilla Minus One UK releases can be summed up with this:

Content
HMV Standard​
Steelbook​
Deluxe Edition​
Godzilla Minus One on 4K Ultra HD
Yes​
Yes​
Yes​
Bonus Blu-ray Disc (with additional extras)

Godzilla Minus One/Minus Colour on Blu-ray
No​
No​
Yes​
Booklet

Yes​
 
Damn, that sudden standard 4K release reveal hurts, but thankfully my pre-order of the steelbook version from Rarewaves is practically the same price, so I'm less inclined to feel swindled on a personal bias.
 
Just got my Arcane Collector's Edition in the mail. While I haven't opened it, first impressions are pretty good. It was thankfully packed very well protected so it's arrived in perfect condition, but it's size is what really stunned me because I expected something similar to a standard slipcase. Put next to a standard amaray case you can really see how big it is.

Interestingly also, AL seems to have designed and included one of their standard back cover slips, which I wasn't expecting given this was a GKIDS release, but I guess they had the oppurtunity to include one for UK distribution.

While I haven't received a dispatch notice from AL, I received an e-mail from FedEx containing tracking information (I've confirmed legitimacy before clicking any links), and based on the shipper's address, I'm assuming that my Macross Plus Ultimate Edition has been dispatched (the website still lists it as unfulfilled at the time of this post).

Huh. The back cover says Danish, Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian subs, even though I don't think those were ever officially listed on AtA's store page. Can you check the discs to see if they're actually included? Thanks.
