@BearsEatBeets It's a nice set — there's some art cards BUT (and I hate this) the discs are stacked on spindles with the 4Ks on one side and the Blu-rays on the other. Insofar as Disney physical releases go a few of the Star Wars and Marvel steelbooks have gone sold out on the HMV site so that's a good sign for the future. @colonelkilgore It's shockingly good. I have a hard time reconciling the gulf in quality between a show like «Andor» and the absolute dreck like «The Book of Boba Fett». The QC at LucasFilm is pretty much non-existent.

@LN78 yeah I hope the physical releases are very successful and maybe some of the others give it a try. I would love an Arcane or Stranger Things box set from Netflix.
I guess it could diminish the need to subscribe for some people but maybe they will discover that the kind of customer buying the physical don’t stay subscribed for long anyway and can make extra money this way.
I certainly have no plans to re subscribe to Disney plus until season two of Andor and will drop it again right after.

@BearsEatBeets Yeah — I'd love for Netflix to reconsider their policy on physical releases — the two you mentioned plus «Blue Eye Samurai» and «Sandman» would be good for starters. The Disney releases (plus the thriving bootleg market) prove that they are leaving the collector/AV enthusiast dollars on the table.

@LN78 Blue Eye Samurai is one I added to my watchlist a while back and kind of forgot about. I'll have to get to that.

@LN78 «Sandman» has been released on 4K; imported mine from Amazon.com and it arrived just the other day. Haven't gotten around to testing it yet. Not sure how they decide what's getting released and what's not, but they're obviously very reticent about releasing anything on physical. I was quite surprised to see that «Sandman» had a release, tbh

@FuriousMachine Thanks for the heads up — not sure how that passed me by! I wonder why there hasn't been a UK release? I suspect it must've
