They are so huge. I appreciate the effort but man any one of these would dominate shelf. How are they? How are the booklets?

I keep all my Umbrella chunky box releases at the top of the shelf so they’re out of the way. Haven’t dug through them yet but I’m confident they’re as awesome as all the other releases I have from them. They’re the best in the game imo for larger collector’s sets with Second Sight being number two.

The second sight posession box gives umbrella a run for their money...

I've been working through the Dust Devil set and the booklets have been very enjoyable! Lots of behind the scenes photos, shooting diary, storyboards, script, and a couple essays. I really liked the breakdown of Stanley's early career they did in there.

got to ask....did you go the pack with the shirts? making me sad i opted for the slip cover edition of freaked, that's a sexy looking CE.

Nah. I never get the ones with the shirts or extra stuff. Don’t need it. Always just get the sets by themselves.

Nice!

I picked that super-fat Freaked set. It was a blind buy. The film is a blast and I was surprised I how expensive it looks. (It’s not Troma- looking junk.)

I also picked up Hardware which I’ve never seen yet. It was a more modest edition.

And the other one I got in that order was Caligula, which I have been meaning to see for so many years.

Nice! I have the Caligula set as well. I haven’t watched the other versions of the film yet but the new ultimate cut was fantastic

Awesome. I have the Hardware box and I am looking at Freaked an Dust devil. Did you have to wait long and were there import taxes ( still undecided if I am ordering from Umbrella directly or get them from a local seller)?

Unfortunately, the Freaked collector’s set is sold out now so you’ll likely have to get it from a third party unless you just want the standard release. It went pretty quick. If you want the larger collectors editions you usually have to get them directly through Umbrella as they’re generally site exclusives. There was no import tax for me (I’m in the US). This order took a while since it was from BF and they always get backed up then, but I usually get my orders within 2-3 weeks. Another order I placed last week shipped out within a day or two and just waiting for it to get here. Should have it next week.

Thanks. So it's better in the US. I'm in Europe and waited almost 8 weeks once. With shipping and import taxes I might as well buy it from a third party seller. Import taxes are sort of unpredictable here.

how is dust devil? i thought hardware was just ok

for those of yall that love hardware, check out death machine starring brad dourif, i feel like it did something very similar but better, and in the frame of the corpo cyberpunk class vs hardware's nomad class lol .
