First things first. Back in January, we were excited to report that Umbrella Entertainment announced a “Masters Of The Universe” (1987) Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray that included thrilling new features like 2 HOURS of Never-Before-Seen Content and a 48 page book. Although coming from an Australian company, fans in the United States were also excited with this announcement because the company's original position was this Blu-ray disc would be playable on Blu-ray players in the United States too. So fans in the U.S. ordered accordingly. Then, four months later, Umbrella Entertainment sent out a mass e-mail indicating the disc would be…
In the image above it says the book has a chapter called The Missing She-Ra Pages. Are those the same script pages that were posted already or are they different?
Are you shitting me? Seriously WTF. I pulled my order and got myself a refund because I don't own an all region player.
I highly-recommend 220 Electronics for aftermarket region-free players. They are located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois and have low prices, quality products, responsive customer service, and fast shipping. I got a top-of-the-line player for about $180. If you are a physical media collector, it is totally worth it. Series like Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light did not get a U.S. release, but did in the U.K., so it helps to not be limited by region-lock.
Yeah, I can also confirm it plays on my Sony Ultra HD player with zero issues. I had a sneaking suspicion it might, since Umbrella released Coffy as a special edition. We'd ordered it not fully reading the product description, had it arrive and saw it was listed as Region B and were like "dammit!". I was about to initiate a return, but decided to give it a try and... sure enough... it loaded just fine. I wouldn't order anything else from them down the road assuming I'll have the same luck, but in these two cases they worked with our player (which I got off of Amazon a couple of years back, just a regular 4K player- not advertised as being region-less or anything like that). I had put off getting that German Filmation set a while back because it was listed as region-locked, but just my luck I would've dropped serious dough on that one only to have it arrive and NOT work on our player.

It turned out I didn't need a region-free player for this disc so that is what got me so pissed off. I canceled it thinking I did.
@kraken Oh, no I meant when I ordered Umbrella's release of the movie Coffy. THAT one I didn't realize was Region B until it showed up on my doorstep. I knew about the MOTU changes from their email.

I may have to seek that Coffy out dude. They don't make them like they used to.

No. They REALLY don't! I also just laughed so hard at that GIF. I absolutely LOVE Pam Grier's delivery in moments like these.
