You'd be surprised! A release like this is pretty popular and since the FS is in high demand....gonne be a tough one.

I tried going direct a couple of times but holy cr*p, I was ready F5'ing like my life depended on it ...... and it was already sold out 

 

I am not even gonna bother anymore with going direct, that's why I only do GB's.

Easier for me I don't have to set a reminder because I am most likely gonna forget, and I don't have to stay up or get up at crazy times.

 

 

Yup, I learned my lesson.  Was in the GB, ready to buy, got distracted, and forgot to go back in.  Then this morn, fail.  

GB is my friend, GB is my friend.

How much thread cred would I get for buying all of these at once?  aye?  

All of these are canonic and deserve this type of treatment, imho.

The question is . . . . Next anniversary . . . big box . . . . lots a goodies . . .. 4k Steelbook? . . . ugh.

btw . . . can you create a tagline for your avatar?  didn't see it as option.  Mine would be "steelbook honeymoon phase"

These were special anniversary releases that came from different studios during that time.

 

These are the true "premiums" if you ask me.

I love the Steels but the extra stuff in these is a real draw for me.  I can’t believe how inexpensive they still are. Looks like they made 250k of Sound of Music. 
 

besides the ones above, what others were released in this format?   Ten Commandments looks like it’s a dif type box.  
 

thanks.

I'm personally a fan of the 70th Anniv Big Box set that came out 10 years ago.

There were a number of classic films that got this treatment, such as;

- Ben Hur

-Ten Commandments

- Lawrence of Arabia

- Willy Wonka

- Sound of Music, and

a number of others.

I bought most, if not all of them, heh.

Only Blus back then but that is/was fine.  😉

Here's a pic;

 

 

did all of those editions you list come from the same publisher?  Or just anniv editions from the studios?

yeah that looks great.   The coasters are a nice touch.  Thanks.  

pre-ordered.  Will this be the definitive version or are there others people love?

I too have avoided any trailers or reviews on this.  I am really looking forward to this as I loved Rogue One

Same, I've pissed off the dudes on my game night because I sing La La La La with hands over ears when they started speculating.  Now that the first episodes are out, I'm setting aside time tomorrow afternoon to watch all three.  Very excited.  Hoping for a Rogue One level series, adore that movie.

welcome to the Psychos,
we all love each other,
consider, here the purse is empty faster than you think

 

 

Thanks!   I find your giffy and your message the perfect balance of acceptance from the community and warning for my wallet.   

Thank you for the welcome Tony!

I started dj'ing when I was 13.  A breakbeat is typically the drum breakdown of a track.  You spin that break over and over while someone rhymes to the live sampled funky beat.   Thus . . . a breakbeatDJ.

As you can guess, I have been collecting records foreva!!!  I'm a pretty advanced vinyl collector and am super interested in the similarities and differences between steelbook/specialEd blu-rays and vinyl collecting.  I've already discovered some amazing stuff.  The artwork is sick sick sick on some of these releases, like album art, only more steely and sturdy!  

Also, I'm a real movie lover.   I got soooooo burned out on vhs, laserdisc, DVD, re-buying, I gave up.  These steelbooks feel like endgame to me.  The fire is lit.   

Very cool community from the surf time on here, looking forward to more.

Hello I'm new here. I came up with my username because I used to be a really big fan of Star Wars and always liked ewoks and wanted something fancy and comical sounding so I put sir to make it sound like a fancy proper name and McYubNub as a play on McLovin from Superbad. My profile pic is a photoshop image of my old steam profile pic I did for Halloween. 

Hilarious.  Best portmanteau name ever!
