Was somewhat expecting this when they removed the preorder date on their site.
Wheres the quote from? Haven't seen them post anything on twitter yet.
To be honest their social media is in desperate need of someone who knows how to respond and post news/updates instead of just retweeting other people
It was via the 88 Films Young Master thread on the Blu-ray forums, the people that work on these 88 Asia sets are pretty active on the UK sub-forum.Was somewhat expecting this when they removed the preorder date on their site.

Cool, guess it'll be a week or two before their social guy thinks to post it elsewhere.
(Probably around the time he remembers to announce they're releasing the Urban Legend trilogy)
Now that's even better, as the original reward was 10% off at 500 points. Just pre-ordered it at £19.99!

Managed £18.99 plus 249 points back!
Nice. If 88 Films does another sale that covers their Asian catalog, I can grab The Master and Heroes Shed No Tears together which would hopefully be enough to save £5 or so on Snake in the Eagle's Shadow.Managed £18.99 plus 249 points back!

Oh don't worry I know about that, but I was thinking of the possibility of perhaps a 2 for £20 or Buy 1 Get 1 Free on 88's store just in caseThe Master is currently £12.99 on Amazon
