Criterion really does need more Welles. They could always make an Welles/Shakespeare box like they did for Oliver's films; with Othello, Macbeth, Chimes of Midnight, and the incomplete Merchant of Venice. Not to mention add Filming Othello to the set. At least with a Shakespeare box, they can justify it more since they'd be fresh to DVD except for Othello... and the previous DVD was terrible. The Trial is a StudioCanal property, so it's at least likely Criterion can grab it. Either that or Lionsgate, but they seemed to have ended their run of StudioCanal import box sets.

I wonder whether those delays in the case production are due to having to make extras for the digipak re-issues

If you go to the main page, you can see some of the new Kurosawa covers in the "Coming Soon" area (although the links just go to the old covers).

Criterion store has their price listed as $320 so expect Amazon's to be a bit lower.

If you're patient, your best bet is to just wait around til the next B&N 50% off Criterion sale. Add 10% member discount and an additional 10%/15%/20% coupon (they're always available) and you'll be looking at about $162/$153/$144 for the set (assuming B&N carries it - and also assuming they don't run that promo again before it's released).

Hopefully B&N waits until next summer. I pretty much got everything I wanted to own between it and the Amazon sale. The only exceptions are holdouts for BluRay like the rest of the Tati films, Bergman, stuff on Blu in the UK (The Red Shoes, 39 Steps, etc), and other likely Blus.

Wasn't this the first time B&N has ever run a deal like that? Are we safe in assuming it would ever happen again?
