Sold out before I could add free shipping filler! I suppose it's not too big a loss; the fifth disc is a bonus disc, not the fifth movie, so you're only getting the first four films, which were sold individually for $3.99 at WM on BT, and I passed them all up then, and it looks like this collection has those awful cardboard sleeves that are so popular among complete collections, even by manufacturers/studios who should knw better (HBO).
Can't say for sure, especially since there's been more than one release of this anthology, but it looks like at least some (perhaps all?) of these are the original standalone cases enclosed in a slipcase/box.
How about for DVDs? Cause I am sure that I can get 3-4 DVDs worth of mileage out of some sturdier casings for my Spartacus sets...but I have Once Upon a Time box sets that are DVD-sized casings, but hold 5 DVDs on those annoying double-sided pages.
I'm seriously considering picking up Star Wars Complete Saga. I'm not sure yet. I don't have any Star Wars in my Blu-ray collection.
Have they ever released a set that contained the original cuts of the original trilogy on blu ray?
No, all current sets only have the altered versions. Lucas said he will never release them, but the sale to Disney might have altered that, though while Disney probably has the will (their release would mean big moolah for them), there are rumors that the original negatives of the unaltered films are "missing" or retained by Lucas to ensure his preferred versions are the only ones available. I don't know how much truth there is to that, but if anyone know more, chime in!
Rome is now $32.99, and not eligible for shipping. Still a good deal, if you're lucky enough to find a store that has it.
Plus Willis is just sleepwalking through these sequels now. The last two movies he was playing John McClane in name only.
I enjoyed the fourth movie. Plus, it seemed to do something right if we got that horrid fifth flick. But I think owning all four movies and pretending A Good Day to Die Hard never happened is a fair choice.
It's easy with anime. Worst case is you can do blank paper and say "This is my complete set of such and such in a smaller and better case". =P
They didn't look bad really. I didn't mind them at all. I got those dvds when they first came out only because of the original cuts being in them.
It's a long shot, but take your receipt up to Best Buy (if you bought it from them on BF for $20) and see if they can edit the price.
Yeah, this set is actually $22.99 but they pay you 10 bucks to take the fifth film home, thus making it $12.99.
