UK release this month appears cancelled. The German writing on the front cover is a paper sleeve you bin. Considered the must own reference 4K Blu-ray, with a perfect 5/5 score from video to extras from Blu-ray.com

The actual steelbook has English text on the side sleeve and just artwork on the front and back.

With seven 'Oscars' including Best Picture in 1962, 'Lawrence of Arabia' is one of the most important cinematic masterpieces of all time. It is the greatest achievement of legendary director and Oscar winner David Lean (DOCTOR ZHIVAGO). The film stars Peter O'Toole in his groundbreaking role as TE Lawrence, the courageous British army officer in World War I who heroically united warring desert Arab tribes to lead them to war against the mighty Turkish Empire. The brilliant performances of O'Toole, Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, Jack Hawkins, Omar Sharif and Anthony Quayle make this film a masterpiece that you will want to watch again and again. (2 4K UHD + 2 Blu-rays)

    Nvm, sounds like German text is on a removable J-card (edited)

    It makes no sense that they cancelled the UK one, but still release this one. I'm glad I've managed to order one though, after Zavvi cancelled my previous one.

    Is there a drowning rat scene in Lawrence of Arabia? That could explain it

    The long running saga on unavailability of Lawrence on 4K is just silly.It hardly makes good business sense to always make the product unavailable or out of print,the only people that benefits is the mark up chumps making excess revenue.
    Just get Lawrence out there,is anyone listening 👂oh and this is a good deal well spotted flame 🔥.

    Ja, Danke! Been eyeing this up for a while but scalper rates put me off.

    This can now join my German Bloodsport 4k as discs I'm probably spending tok much money on!

    May be worth watching Amazon.it as I got it from there a while back for 25.20 inclusive of shipping etc.

    Just be advised that this and the Bridge on the River Kwai steelbooks have no other writing on them ie the film title, I would argue the JCards are vital especially if you want them matching, I'll pass as German language on JCard

    Also spotted this but missed out, not sure how they got stock ebay.co.uk/itm…OPY

    Who throws the j card away? Madness. But yeah I'll pass. A standard 4k will be along eventually.

    J Cards are the worst design ever. They should have just made a nice simple one sheet that tucks in the inside of the case. JCards are just annoying and cheap.

    Keep the order but I'd be looking for a backup plan.

    This is what Zavvi sent out to people (via HiDefNinja)

    Is this release in Atmos? The listing states TrueHD 7.1 but no mention of Atmos.
