Does anyone know which retailer has the new corrected discs?

What was wrong with them as I just bought this in June?

What was wrong with them as I just bought this in June?

Apparently the corrected discs are like this:

Assuming under the 15 rating logo following numbers FC02191/V2 which probably means second attempt followed by VFB29192

12 seconds of duplicated footage, present on the blu-ray released in 2018 - which nobody noticed then. Including the director. I didn't notice it either.

That all, no big deal for me.

The 4K disc I bought from Target doesn't have 15 rating logo. Anyhow, I played back my 4K disc and it's not a corrected disc. Again, no big deal for me.

The part of the movie, content of the loop/missing footage, and movie's style makes it pretty meaningless since the audio part is correct -- the sequence seems meant to parallel the disoriented/confused Willis character with the floating circling camera and multiple quick cuts. If it had been originally released this way nobody would have thought it wasn't intentional and possibly would have thought it entirely fitting with the theme of the movie. One of the reasons it took years before more than a few people even noticed through 2 different releases. I knew the general time where the loop happened and it took 3-4 attempts before my brain saw it without doing the side by side comparison

OTOH, the corrected disc is free and now exist so I might as well get it at some point.

I can't find the UHD at Arrow shop. Does that mean that they will issue new packages (not just corrected discs) later?

Well, good luck with that. I completed my form over 6 weeks ago and despite many customer service messages, there’s still no firm news of when I might get it…

I'm extremely impressed with how fast Criterion responded to, and sent out replacements for, their Hard Day's Night UHD, which also had similar, minor, mastering errors. Within 10 days of release (not a single reviewer had spotted any problems), they had released a statement, recalled the discs, they responded to my request by e-mail within two days and I had a replacement disc (shipped by courier) before two months had passed. Amazing. It must have cost them tens of thousands of dollars. And I had purchased the disc from Amazon, not their website. They really deserve enormous praise for that level of customer service.

I'm in the US & I got my replacement today. Comes media mail from MVD in Pottstown, PA. Filled out the form about 3 weeks ago. On the corrected disc the label has AV380/V2, the faulty disc is just AV380

Great news - my replacement disc arrived this morning…!

Criterion has always been good like that. Back in the laserdisc days, they would without hesitation replace any disc that suffered from "laser rot", no matter where or how long ago it was bought. They only stopped doing that when they no longer had replacement stock.

It’s absurd that the same movie is so much cheaper in the UK.
