I saw those in a local store yesterday. I'm interested in the ABT box, but not stupid enough to buy a Scandi release without reading some reviews first.

I wonder if some of those will use the Fortune Star Remastered prints. There are some hear who don't need subs so it may interest them.

Hungfist likes to add his own too.

Thanks and welcome to Bullets.

Very simple but TRES COOL artwork on those boxes btw. Very chique. (But only the fronts. They fucked up the backs I feel.

I was there, the big BNB blackout of november, 2008. We lost many that day...

This; "Observera att specifikationerna för ljud- och bildformat, bonusmaterial o.s.v. inte är komplett och bekräftat." (seen at the discshop site)

... says;
"Note that specifications for sound and pictureformat, extras and so are not complete and confirmed."

And since the above is from a Finnish site, and since Scanbox usually release one set for all Nordic countries this set very likely features "nordic" subs (not that that would help most of you guys any :D)

The screens doesn't look very impressive though... :-/

Yeah, found this at cdon and some Norwegian retailers; seems to have swedish, danish, norwegian, and finnish subs. English, Cantonese and presumably Mandarin mono soundtracks.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Added shots of these new sets to the relevant comparison threads;

The Killer
Hard Boiled (only 5 shots)
A Better Tomorrow
A Better Tomorrow Part 2
Bullet in the Head

Picture wise not bad. No digital cleaning though which is both bad and good... sound seems okay aswell. Original mono/stereo (Cantonese and English dub). Somehow they snuck both a DTS and DD 5.1 track on Hard Boiled. Just nordic subs though.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!

How do you mean "somehow"? Are they any good?
