Re: Night of the Hunted (1980) Blu-ray / UHD IN PROGRESS
I'll take this.
UPDATE: OK, all done! Since the standard and limited 4K editions are the same disc wise, save for the goodies included, I merged them into one listing making mention of the latter in the notes.

Er - that might not have been a good idea to merge them. The Limited Editions have a digipak case inside a slipbox along with the book. I think the Standard Editions have keep cases.
Also, it seems there is some discrepancy regarding the total quantity of each Limited Edition with these Powerhouse releases (Jean Rollin movies plus some others). They release them as separate products, UK Blu-ray / US Blu-ray / UK UHD / US UHD, and on their website they write:
"Limited edition of 10,000 individually numbered units (6,000 4K UHDs and 4,000 Blu-rays) for the UK and US"
But does this mean for example that there are 6,000 UHDs in total, or 12,000? For some movies, the US edition has sold out while the UK edition is still in stock, so that suggests they are different products, although in practice they probably only differ in terms of what is on the separate U-shaped card wrapped round the bottom of the case e.g. the UK ones have the BBFC rating on them. I own quite a few of the UK UHD releases, but none of the US releases. All of my UK releases seem to be numbered below 3,000, so I guess it's possible that the US ones are numbered from 3,001 to 6,000, but this does sound unlikely. Far more likely is that there are 12,000 in total, 6,000 in each territory, plus 4,000 Blu-rays in each territory. Does anyone own any of the US Limited Edition releases who can shed any light on this? If any of them are numbered 3,000 or below for the UHD, or 2,000 or below for the Blu-ray, that would imply there are almost certainly a total of 12,000 and 6,000 respectively, globally.

Re: Night of the Hunted (1980) Blu-ray / UHD UPDATED
I understand why you would think that, but the disc themselves for the limited and standard editions are 100% the same. It would be redundant to list both if they're exactly the same save for the packaging and items included. It would easier and less congested for a page if the limited edition was listed in the notes for the standard edition (with the ASIN link enclosed and UPC where applicable).
And to answer your question about when the website states "Limited edition of 10,000 individually numbered units (6,000 4K UHDs and 4,000 Blu-rays) for the UK and US", it means 10,000 units respectively for the US/Canada and UK totaling to 20,000 altogether (or 12,000 4Ks and 8,000 Blu-rays worldwide).

On the first point, yes I understand the rationale about making pages more concise and removing what is essentially redundant duplication. However, my point still stands regarding the two types of packaging. This could perhaps be remedied by adding the alternate packaging type in the Notes section when mentioning the other release.
This does also raise an additional point, which is that some pages have Limited Editions as the main entries, with Standard Editions mentioned in the Notes, while for other pages the reverse is the case. Having said that, I can't imagine anyone would want to take up the huge task of trawling through the entire database to make it all consistent in this regard!
On the second point, are you certain that you are correct about the totals? I am inclined to believe it, but I haven't managed to find any definitive proof one way or the other. If you know for certain, I would be interested to know how you know. I have raised this issue at least once before, but thus far have not had a definitve answer.

I did point that out with one of the releases and alternate packaging for any limited editions will be noted for said edition(s) in the notes.Darrel_Griffin wrote: 20 Jun 2025 09:33 On the first point, yes I understand the rationale about making pages more concise and removing what is essentially redundant duplication.

It depends on who's editing the page and/or if there's already a review attached with the edition. For example, if someone made a review on a limited edition release, we leave the listing for it be and note about a standard edition in the notes. Same with selected Blu-ray/DVD combo packs even though the Blu-ray can be bought separately.Darrel_Griffin wrote: 20 Jun 2025 09:33This does also raise an additional point, which is that some pages have Limited Editions as the main entries, with Standard Editions mentioned in the Notes, while for other pages the reverse is the case.

I can't imagine why it would only be 10,000 altogether worldwide. Common sense, it would be fair to make the numbers for a limited edition the same for both countries.Darrel_Griffin wrote: 20 Jun 2025 09:33On the second point, are you certain that you are correct about the totals?

Re: Night of the Hunted (1980) Blu-ray / UHD UPDATED
Thanks Anthony for the clarifications.
Regarding the packaging, yes I did notice that you had mentioned the different type in the notes on at least one page, but I only noticed this after submitting the previous post - sorry!
Regarding the quantities of Limited Edtions, yes I agree that it would be pretty strange to have one terrritory's numbers starting at 3,001 or whatever. The only other possibility is that the numbering in each territory is 0,001-3,000 (or 0,001-2,000), but since on the UHDs for example it states that it is out of 6,000, numbering only up to 3,000 would also be pretty strange. Then again, the world contains many pretty strange phenomena! But I am certainly happy to assume that we are both correct, and there a grand total of 20,000 units globally.
