Re: The Complete Kubrick
There's a Instagram reel of a early release unboxing from Press Play Video. The cardboard sleeves have plastic linings. How will that effect the discs for this and for future boxsets?

Back when it was first announced, Sister Hyde said (in her Instagram comment), "The disc book features newly designed compartments that protect the discs and provide easier and safer access than previous sets." The linings probably have something to do with it.HardNight'sDay wrote: Sat Sep 12, 2026 1:08 pm There's a Instagram reel of a early release unboxing from Press Play Video.

Re: The Complete Kubrick
On the one video I saw, the sleeves were quite tight though, and it seems to me it'll have a bigger impact over tight that how they're coated.
I'm also wary about coating with plastics, which are prone to generate volatile compounds (like in the plastic Amaray-like cases, that end up having some greasy coating over depositing over time inside the case and of course on the disc).

The term I believe he used was "a little bit snug," which can mean anything, especially from a set that was freshly machine-packed.tenia wrote: Sat Sep 12, 2026 2:58 pm On the one video I saw, the sleeves were quite tight though, and it seems to me it'll have a bigger impact over tight that how they're coated.

Also, I mean, discs themselves are coated with a plastic UV-activated polymer varnish, so I honestly doubt that coating the sleeves will make a bit of difference other than providing a subtle layer of protection from paper grain.

Re: The Complete Kubrick
Sorry if this has been mentioned, but have the dimensions of the box been revealed?
