The Devils (Ken Russell, 1971)

[Lowry_Sam]

I just ordered the Ltd Ed. on Amazon. Hopefully at some point between now and my mom's birthday (& Hitler's birthday & "420" day) the price will drop at some point to the point of matching (or bettering) that 15% off.

For what it's worth, $80 for a 3 disc edition seems like a much better deal than $60 for a single disc (UHD only) steelbook of King Kong.

2 more releases I can stop guessing for Criterion.

And the anniversary of the Columbine shooting, if we're playing that game...

Orbit has the BFI Collector's Edition up for preorder.

Update: In the above listing, they state that they "will also have the US Edition available soon."

Do we know the region coding on these? BFI states the Blu-Ray Region as "A,B,C" but Orbit list it as region B locked.

Also, Sister Hyde posted additional artwork from this release (big year for them, love to see it!).

[Lowry_Sam]

So the BFI collector's edition is $20 cheaper (even after import cost) than the US collector's edition? Is it missing something?

[Finch]

Previous page post confirms both releases are identical. Clockwork are producing the discs and BFI are distributing the UK version just like they did with the theatrical. The Blu-ray discs on the UK release might be region locked. Orbit did list A B C on their page but I thought this referred to the 4K discs.

I've pre order the US and UK limited editions. I like to have copies from different regions of my favourite films.

Really seems overkill on this one, though, as this clearly is the same release, albeit with a specific distributor in the UK.
I'm not even sure the BD will be locked if it's indeed the same disc is all these countries.

[Zot!]

Yeah, I mean after all the churn you are entitled to own two, but all you are buying is an additional BFI logo on the box it would seem. If you went standard edition for one, at least the artwork would differ. Looks great by the way, so the enthusiasm is respectable.

If memory serves, just about all of Warner’s Blu-rays have been all-region. If so, it would be unsurprising if this was all-region, even under a sub-label like Clockwork or a distributor’s logo like BFI.

Plaion will be releasing the collectors edition in Germany too and surely with the same discs.

This is what I've understood as well. While I have a region-free player, the chatter online has made me pause about which link to send to friends who are region A locked. Guess we'll wait and see!

Any indication as to how actually limited this edition is?

I'm under the impression that they're just going to take the preorder amount and multiply it, similar to how Arrow Video operates these days. It would be silly to hard number such a huge release.
