Are those films only available on retrogold?  I can't verify my age on their website and it's mandatory  

I had that issue too when I did a test order beforehand so I troubleshoot any issues.  I think that is required for "adult" films but not needed to order other films.  It let me pay for my test order of Beowulf.  And today, it let me order do my order for Ninja in Dragons Den, Queens High, and Dreaming the Reality.

So unless they contact me later saying I'm not verified, my order went through and my payment went through already.

Same here. My order and payment went through. There's no option to verify your age with a US ID anyway but I wouldn't want to upload my driver's license to them even if they had accepted it. So if they cancel my order due to the "age verification" thing, oh well...

Had a rough night and woke up late today. So all the nice looking "exclusive to retrogold63" covers were sold out & I had to settle for the generic looking ones...I should've set my alarm lol...the early bird gets the worm.

I started refreshing my browser every 10 seconds at 6:57 PM and had opened 3 separate windows for the versions I selected. I got what I wanted. But was worried the payment process could take too long.

Yes I got Queens High cover D which I personally preferred Blood Sisters cover E and Ninja Konmando I wanted cover F, but it went so quickly as I added all 3 in the basket went to check out and Nina Kommando sold out so Had to choose cover B so I’m happy 😃 I got the other two exclusives hope everyone got their desired ones too.

[Jinha]

Fortunately they had the ability to add to cart from the main page so I didn't have to waste time looking at each individual page.  I got my initial want of covers D for Queens High and Ninja in Dragons Den and cover E for Dreaming the Reality.  I secured that within the first minute.  Then I started thinking if I wanted the card cover as well but it was too late.

They look nice releases but very expensive, if they've had genuine remasters then they'll get a Eureka or 88 release eventually, I'll wait for those.unless it's must have not prepared to pay the prices in most cases anymore.

I can see Ninja in Dragons Den being released by Arrow or Eureka.  I don't see the other two being released...hope I'm wrong but I doubt they will be.

Yeah I thought I'd try and place an order without creating an account and it seems to have gone through, fingers crossed

It's actually smart to wait this out & see if the other established players release this for the UK/US market & if they do, I'll just end up double dipping & selling these off to recoup some of the cost back.

but arent these region free if they are what incentive do 88 or Eureka or another label have to get the rights?

I'd upgrade for Frank Djeng commentary & English supplements and Frederic Ambrosine interviews alone.

there is a Arnaud Lanuque  interview with Ben Lan on Shamrock "BLOOD SISTER" release, and it's included as English friendly version also, just as info.

Mr. Banker Films is releasing Hapkido in two red keep case blu rays. Expected release date is Sept 20. The previously announced mediabooks have been canceled. English subs and dub. Completely uncut version is available in Germany for the first time.

[saltysam]

I highly doubt the german release of Hapkido would best the Eureka version. Unless a mediabook collector seemed a needlessly expensive way of getting hold of a readily available title.

Wicked Vision are also stocking some the Shamrock Mediabooks, don't know if they work out cheaper with shipping

I've used them in the past & never had any issues. I think their shipping might be a bit cheaper since they use both Deutsche Post & DHL but we're not talking about a huge difference here.

If they did, I'm not aware of it. Maybe some of our German members can elaborate further?
