    Physically my set is exactly the same as yours. My alignment may even be worse than yours and the booklet does not fit in the box, but my booklet does have the correct pages unlike yours. As for the first movie being on blu-ray and not 4k is because they HAD to use the old blu-ray because the rights for the first movie are with MGM and the rest of the films are with Universal so they had to use the old disc because of the insistence of MGM to get all of the films in a single set, because shout factory released them separately they were able to get the first film on 4k and do a new disc.
    I can confirm that the transfers are exactly the same as the Shout ones, they are actually slightly better encoded on the Arrow set. The Arrow set also comes with both the theatrical and Unrated for Seed of Chucky on 4k, which the individual Shout release doesn't have. The transfers are really good for the first 4 films (not including Child's Play), once you get to Curse and Cult they look no different to the blu ray and HDR is doing almost nothing, but as they were straight to blu-ray 2k master upscaled I am not surprised or disappointed in those, but the ones shot on film 2-Seed look really really good, it is just SUCH a shame about the packaging. I probably should've returned mine and demanded a replacement for it because of the misalignment but oh well. But yh the actual discs are great, just their housing is garbage.

      @millerman9991  2 месяца назад +5

      Yeah I knew there was issues when I came to the first movie on 4k. Such a shame when you consider how good that movie is and it was the one that started it all.
      I have to agree with you by what you said when it came to the 4K transfers because I've watched the first four and I thought they look amazing. Well all the 4K ones that is. I'm not expecting a whole lot from probably the last two.
      The box set is so insanely lazy especially when you stack it up against some of Arrow video's releases of last year. I could not believe some of the issues I had. If it wasn't so expensive to import the scream factory releases I would have.
      But thank you so much for stopping by and sharing all this information. I'll make sure to pin this comment so everybody can read it. I'm sure it'll help out a few people

      @@millerman9991 yep it is super disappointing it is like they forgot how to make a good boxset. Why is it packaged like this even? It is truly bizarre....this is what I would have expected from the standard edition version release. How can we get a boxset like Psycho or Hellraiser and then get this from the same guys. The misallignment alone is inexcusable, I have to hide mine in my shelf with my other blu-rays instead of it being more of a display piece which it is obviously intended to be.

    • @millerman9991

  • @gekkosgreed955
    @gekkosgreed955 2 месяца назад +2

    I’ve never understood why distributors insist on new art work. It’s the 4k remaster we’re after to make it new and justify the purchase. More often there is a nostalgia to the art work, particularly for the older movies. At the very least offer a reversible cover.

    • @millerman9991
      @millerman9991  2 месяца назад

      That's probably why I'm regretting my decision not to pick up the scream factory editions. At least with them you are getting that original artwork as well as a 4K transfer for the original movie. I do not mind newly commissioned artwork but only when there's a bit of imagination going behind it. Clearly not happening here

    I do however wish the movies came in real plastic cases and that the first movie was in 4K (I thankfully already owned the first one from Scream Factory).

    I thought at first you were joking about the box itself. But then I saw it in a store I shop with often and yeah: The pic on it is uneven as well. That is just lazy.
    The transfers themselves might look impressive. But when it don't look good on a shelf, it's not worth getting.

      I have to admit it's nice to read a comment from somebody who appreciates packaging just as much as the discs in the set. So many people out there tell me once the movies look good that's the most important thing. Definitely not for me. I want everything to be perfect with the set not just the 4K transfers. As you mentioned I want to be able display this piece. I see these Editions as pieces of art that need to be displayed but unfortunately a lot of people don't get that. Not that I'm criticizing them. This is how I feel about it. Thankfully the movies do look good on 4k it's just a shame it came in such an underwhelming boxset

      I would say the Shout Factory separate releases are the better choice.
      Do come with all the movies both on Blu-Ray & 4K.
      And the new artwork done for the slipcases on them look superb from what I've seen online.
      Yes, it does not come with the book the Arrow set does. But just from what you showed in the video, it looks like a complete mess.
      I think even the OG Child's Play has more extras then the Blu-Ray that's on the Arrow set. Can't confirm, but Shout has 3 discs(1 4K, 1 Blu and 1 Blu-Ray disc just extras) where as the Arrow only has 1.

    Totally agree that even aside from the manufacturing defects, the packaging is hugely underwhelming for the price.
    Making numerous bulky boxes doesn't make it 'deluxe'. And while I find the Chucky illustrations quite charming, all those blank yellow surfaces would annoy me.
    I'll stick with the slimmer cased Blu-ray set, I reckon.

    I preodered the set from a U.S. seller, being an American in the U.S., and mine is also misaligned, and in the same direction, whereas I've seen others that are the opposite as well as some that are lined up correctly. Of course, my booklet is also too big for the box, but it has all the correct pages in the correct order. Furthermore, the box for mine doesn't have any damage as yours does. Unfortunately, though I mentioned the graphics being off soon after receiving the set, I was informed by the seller that they would have refunded the item price alone - not the shipping cost - if I would have sent the item back factory sealed. I did, however, receive a promo code from Arrow Films for the artwork problem.

The fact that arrow can put out a set like the psycho collection which is absolutely stunning in design, extras and packaging and then go for this with chucky really hurts. i know its not a huge deal but i really wish there was some sort of slip to go over the box instead of the j card, or at least print the contents on the back of the box because that blank yellow back is no excuse.

I saw the box set when it was announced and I was a little unimpressed and now that I see the full thing oh my god that artwork is just bad like you said, super lazy. you said you were going to hang onto that box set and order another one .yes that’s what I would do. Maybe you can make one good box set possibly using the top from one on the other to get the best alignment and return the other. I don’t think they’ll be any problem with the transfers as I know the shout factories are very good and I think the arrows are just as good and if not better let us know what happens.

It still doesn't excuse the fact that the artwork is absolutely shocking on this release but it is the cheapest way to get these movies on 4k. The 4K transfers are the scream factory ones and they look amazing. It's amazing to think the one thing arrow had to do with this release was the packaging and somehow they messed it up.

    I got the blue colored version and can guarantee the arrow discs are better than the scream discs encoding after comparing. My packaging & booklet were also in perfect condition so it seems like the yellow version had less QC.
    It’s a shame the original is exclusive to 4K in the US but the arrow set is what has the most exclusive features only thing scream did was give the original film a bonus discs of extras and included the r rated cuts for cult & curse on blu-ray. Seed uncut in 4k is exclusive to the arrow set.
    Same thing happened with Carrie. The scream disc has a bonus disc of extras but the film is better encoded with exclusive features by arrow.
    I’d say that scream factory still did a worse job when they did the Friday films in a set and psycho & hellraiser from arrow this same year were fantastic so i personally not that mad. I was more upset when the did the grudge films and didn’t include the stereo audio for the theatrical films than these cosmetic issues but again I didn’t have these issues with the version I bought direct from arrow like y’all did.
    Personally would love a howling & elm street box set in 4K next

    • @millerman9991
      @millerman9991  2 месяца назад

      Yeah from the sounds of things the blue coloured version doesn't seem to have many issues if any at all. Thankfully my replacement copy has come in and all of the issues have been fixed. Well almost all of them the booklet still doesn't fit in very well. I've actually watched four of the movies on 4K and I thought they looked absolutely amazing. Well the ones that are on 4K and it only makes me want to get the original that little bit more from scream factory.
      I wasn't too crazy about the Friday the 13th box set myself but at least you got all the original artwork for each individual movie. It's just a shame it all came wrapped in a very flimsy box set.
      Regardless of the issues that I had with this edition I don't think I will ever appreciate it. It lacks any kind of imagination and it's a real shame because arrow Video are normally better than this. Just look at everything else that came out last year from them. I'm not sure what happened here. Such a shame and the series of movies deserves so much better

      @@millerman9991 I totally agree, which is such a shame as I would love to have them all on 4k in a box together and this just didn't deliver.

    I got quite lucky with mine, okay alignment and complete book but that book error in yours is too big of a mistake to ignore like personally misalignment isn't enough for me to return but an incomplete book is completely differen, hope you can get a replacement.

      Thankfully I got my replacement and everything has been sorted out. Well almost the booklet still doesn't fit in perfectly into the box itself. The box is perfectly aligned as well.

    Question what's the difference between the yellow and blue version they have on their site. I for the life of me can't figure it out

      You literally just said it. Colour and that's it. The blue one is exclusive to arrow videos website.
