The electro bust does look very cool lit up btw, defo like the movie
I think it can vary depending on the studio releasing the movie. I find the best thing to do is to check out blu-ray.com - they're usually pretty good on providing details on whether a title is region locked or not.

As Wrothy says below, it's a mixed bag. I get most of my BD's from Amazon and quite a few are region locked.

But I have a region free blu ray player (or at least the regions code can be changed easily).

The Electro bust does look really cool lit up. It's not really life sized but close enough

Yeah we watched it last night and the acting is pretty ordinary, but I love the old school effects and it's a bit of a classic monster schlocker.

Just got my Walking Dead Season 4 Collectors Set from Amazon. Pretty cool set. I'm way behind on WD (haven't seen any of S4 yet) so very excited to get this today.









Nice bit of artwork on the BD sleeve:



And a nifty little touch. When you slide the BD pack into the slot on the 'base' the zombie's head snaps to the left and his arm raises . . . as though he's just spotted you

Very cool set. You're in for a treat Nick. S4 is great, maybe even the best yet. Enjoy!

Thanks mate. I'm soooo behind on just about everything these days. Walking Dead, Boardwalk Empire, even older series like Deadwood.

Too much good stuff to watch and not enough time to do it

Well, at least I managed to finish Southland. I'm think a Walking Dead marathon is due. Last half of season 3 and all of season 4. And a clean pair of underpants

Man I miss Southland. At least you'll get to see one of the best characters from that series take up a major role in the back half of TWD S4.
