whatever it takes to nail this box down as best it can be, I totally respect it. it's an audacious project as is, can't wait to see it on the shelf whenever it happens

I ordered the Feuillade set and The Champions together. They already shipped The Champions two days ago. So presumably you should get a shipping notice soon

Funny you mention that since I just got my shipping confirmation from Eureka for The Champions an hour ago. No need to cancel!

Either Eureka is a dirty liar or my Louis Feuillade set just shipped.

Mine shipped too

Got mine today. Beautiful packaging. Can’t wait to revisit these and enjoy the extras.

what's the packaging like? is it scanovos inside the hard box? having to wait a little until this and BFI Seven Samurai and Watership Down come in to Orbit to get my copy

No. Nice sturdy digipaks. I’ll post a pic later

awesome, can't wait to see. I believe that's a Eureka first? definitely looks like a Nick Wrigley job overall, so it would make sense that he bring over that top shelf design he uses for the Indicator boxes

EDIT: missed the part where he did confirm it on his site. what a gift this man is

Oh my goodness that’s majestic.

Looks nice with all the colors in the case and with the case in its outer half-sleeve, too.

wow, in case there was any doubt, release of the year easily based on packaging alone!! love the colors so much

The Gaumont restorations of Tih Minh and Judex are stunning. Les Vampires is also nice. Assuming those are the same here and that Fantomas looks good, yes, it’s up there for release of the year. The extras look wonderful, too.

Any problems with the digipaks - like do the discs fall out or are they too tough to get out or is it just right?

I was trying not to place another order this month, but that is too lovely to resist.

OMG, the set looks fantastic! I inquired with Eureka about my order's status, and they replied that although the release date is still officially delayed until 11th of November, they have received some stock early, and my order would be shipped soon. I got a dispatch confirmation shortly after. Really looking forward to this.

I received my set today. I'm over the moon at how good Judex looks. The improvement over the 20+ year old Flicker Alley DVD is monumental.

Nick Wrigley is a national treasure. A few weeks ago I was rummaging in my loft and found this quad poster of his that I got (free!) with the 2012 Masters of Cinema blu of Double Indemnity. Framed the beauty immediately.

My OrbitDVD order just shipped!

gotta wait on the BFI Seven Samurai and Watership Down before mine comes, otherwise it's just sitting on a shelf in Asheville at the moment. hopefully soon..

And I bundled mine with Häxan and Three Heresies by Bunũel boxes, guess I'll actually have something to open at Xmas despite doing all my shopping early.

Just received mine earlier today and it is a beauty. Though I do wish Eureka did try to put some protection with the packaging, since the outer half-sleeve has a very noticeable rip in it and there is a big dent in the corner of the box. I was also surprised that the discs on the right side of each digipak weren't properly placed, so the discs were face-down on top of the discs on the left side.

I missed out on the Double Indemnity poster but do have the Touch of Evil one (also got for free from Fopp Bristol, IIRC). Anywhere you'd recommend getting it framed that isn't overly expensive?

As for the Feuillade set, unfortunately I've got too much on so have cancelled it for the time being. Will pick it up next month or January, as it does look brilliant and it'd be a shame to miss out.

When I received mine in the mail in Canada, I found the Fantomas disc had come loose. They feel easy to remove, especially in comparison to something like the Alien four-film box or Zatoichi DVD/Blu set.

Oddly, I'd almost describe the box design as "Indicator"-esque, if that shows how that group has impacted the boutique home video scene, at least in package design.
