On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.

So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.

Hi.

As you may be aware, the UK isn't getting a 4K release of The Abyss. I've been looking into importing and not getting very far. I don't know if it is because it hasn't actually been released yet.

Amazon.de removes if from my basket once I login.

Amazon.com keeps bringing up the streaming version on Prime.

Amazon.ca won't ship to the UK.

Amazon.fr don't seem to have it.

Finally, Rarewaves don't list it either.

I'm guessing I should try again when these places actually have physical stock, which for Europe is around the last week of April.

I like to think of them as Demo versions, which lead me onto buying the proper 4K disc. ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ

Pretty much yes. You should be able to buy it through Amazon UK when it's out (they usually offer most US-only releases) or through eBay (often cheaper than Amazon). Or find a reliable film buddy who wants some UK releases.
