As for LWAC, I wont order until more concrete specs appear but as it stands $40 is a good price for 6 films.

The LWAC specs havent been announced yet. Just because Shogun Assassin was on 2 discs doesnt mean LWAC will be.

The list price for Animego's dvd box set was $149.99..it's currently $97.49 on Amazon..the blu-ray set has a list of $59.99 and amazon are currently doing pre-orders for $41.99...and are saying 2 discs...Shogun Assassin set had a listing of $89.99 and is selling for $40.94..it's on 2 discs though amazon say 5

if it's on more than 2 discs and judging by their rrp's then that amazon listing is wrong and the corrected price will be up soon..if i were you i'd pre-order,you can always cancel when you hear the specs..oh and btw have you seen how much it is here

Thats a fantastic price. Thanks for posting

I'll think I pre order at Amazon, I dont have an account with Import CDs.
I ordered from Amazon to see what happens - that ImportCDs price is insane - shipping could be more expensive though, do they count (say) a 2 BD set as 2 items?

you'd sooner pay $13 more at Amazon because you won't spend 2 minutes setting up an account at importcds?

i did a test order for a 13 disc Deadwood set which is huge..$9 shipping to the uk.Still a helluva lot cheaper than your amazon option.

A bunch of celebrities nobody gives a fuck about telling us how he inspired them to do things nobody gives a fuck about. Brilliant! Shannon Lee is a money grabbing whore.

Bugger, now the price has gone up for LWAC - still cheaper than Amazon mind ($31.49 now). I hope its still that price by next week.
I still dont see the point of a cheap price if you cant actually pre order it at that price.

I know what the specifications are, I'm asking if the tracks are as crap as usual.

I think the specs give that one away.

I know, I know... But I think I heard somewhere that the BD mixes in general might be less terrible than what used to be on the DVDs. But I don't have any confirmation for this.
Is there any passable dvd edition available? Been wanting to see the film for a long time.

I haven't heard that. Seems unlikely to be honest.

The Joy Sales DVD (Fortune Star remaster) should be passable, but I haven't seen it myself. It apparently contains the original Cantonese mono, but you'd need to check to be sure.

Interesting new Bruce Lee Blu ray releases in Japan later this year. It looks like you will have the option of 4 dub tracks, Mandarin / Cantonese / English Dubbed / Japanese dub. Also it says Japanese theatrical version, which could be interesting because these have a different music track..see here for details....

Reading about them on the forums - they look interesting.. I've never seen the "Japanese theatrical versions" before or Fist of Fury's Mandarin trailer.
I already have about 4 DVDs of The Big Boss though - will it be the uncut Mandarin print? (kidding)
Might get BOSS and FIST.

That's a tongue twister, no English subs

. I bet they're properly remastered this time too.
