Yup. I'm not usually into collecting this sort of thing but I love the house banners and I'm sure my unopened stark s1 has become rare by now. (Though I have no intention of selling)

perhaps but if you don't buy it right on release the price will likely go back up heck the first game of thrones is still 40-50 dollars so its clear the price value is holding steady

Do they charge you right away or once it ships?

Last year I think season one was $34.99 at release on sale, this will probably be similar.

I did the exact same thing! Oh well, at least I can still say I have the George Bush Head version .

down for the squid one
is that greyjoy?

This is a pretty sweet cover for the seasons 1 & 2 on Amazon UK. Not Best Buy, but I didn't want to create a new thread.

I'll wait until these are under $40, there's no way in hell I'm paying $60 (though I really want the Greyjoy one...)

Yes, and it's a Kraken.

Personally picked up a Collector's Edition with the Egg Paperweight for $39.99 on Amazon after they price matched Best Buy last year.

I'll probably pick 2 of each and keep them sealed though and see what happens to the prices. I wouldn't mind selling them down the line so I can pay the $100 (each) for the Stark/Targaryen Covers from Season 1 Sealed.

I fell into the show late and now hindsight is kicking me in the face.

Good thing for BB Silver Premiere 60 Day Return.

What happened to the baratheon cover? Is that not a best buy exclusive? Here's what it was supposed to look like http://i.imgur.com/TSsYN.jpg

Believe someone mentioned that was an exclusive cover in Spain, or something to that effect.

Oh that's a shame, Stannis is my favorite. In that case I'll probably go with the grey joy version.

I keep mine sealed for collection purposes.

However i did end up getting 3 more stark editions right as the controversy happened and they were going to stop production and only sell the edited versions. opened 1 and sold the other 2 for $200 a pop on amazon, that right there paid for all of them and gave me some profit. I have HBO GO so i am not eager to rip open season 2, i will keep both sealed and pick up a copy to watch during black friday or something.

So if I have a sealed copy of the "Stark" Edition Season One how much would it be worth? Would it be enough to cover a regular copy of season one and season two on Blu-ray?

i have seen sealed versions go for as much as $90 shipped on ebay

Its not TV, its hbo

For those holding off waiting for a Best Buy pre-order exclusive like last year's keychain, don't bother. The pre-order bonus is either a dvd or blu-ray of the first episode of season 2, depending on which version you wish to pre-order. Saw them in store tonight.

Eh, don't believe the hype. After fees and shipping and all that shit, you'll be lucky to clear, like, $25. I'll gladly take it off your hands for, say, $30. I kid, I kid. Not really. Sell it to meeeeeee

There's still hope for you then. That Baratheon sigil is for Joffery or Robert.

Here's Stannis sigil (which I pray to the Seven is one of the sigils used for Season 3). Not sure if it's the official HBO version, but Stannis' sigil in the books is supposed to be a stag in a heart covered in flames:



Oh, and I'll be getting the Lannister cover this time. Though I do like the idea of buying both and an extra to sell for money to purchase the one I don't have from Season 1 (Targaryean).
