For the reason that I like my slips to fit onto my U.S. BD cases correctly without any gaps, I've given up on collecting UK slips entirely.

US had the best quality though, UK sucks I hear (1080i). The slip is a beaut tho.

I wasn't aware of the 2 different versions of the UK slip, but I was aware of the ratings symbols, forgot to mention that. I will see soon enough which one I have when I receive the slip maybe next week.

I heard that about the BD differences, that is why I just got the slip and will buy the US version when it's at a good price.

can someone please explain??

This is all you need to know.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collecting

Nothing else needs to be said, there's no psychological explanation.

It's just fun. If it's not for you, there's plenty other blu related goodies

you can enjoy on the forum.

Don't want to come across as a deush or anything, just saying

Let Me In also isn't supposed to be scary. It is a girl who's a vampire, but it's more about the friendship...

There are a lot of movies/shows that have comedy in them and are not considered comedies, it just happens

Ive been looking for this all day. here is the rundown:

- Disneystore.com canceled my order because they sold more then they had. They told me "The item was limited and NO LONGER AVAILABLE"
- No online store has them for order
- Went to 4 different Walmarts and finally found 2 mixed in with all the older versions of a bugs life
- No store has them

Im guessing they were limited and only a few were sent to each store mixed in with the other A Bugs Life. Anybody know?

12.99 is very cheap for a new release.

Actually no they weren't shipped with older versions. They all (Wall-E, Up, etc) came in the same box. That you found some mixed in with the old slips is simply an employee trying to get rid of back stock of the old one.

Well... Not exactly. They all shipped together (wall e, up etc.) but when Disney shipped them they mixed versions of the old combo pack with the new "wall" combo pack. Another thing... Why isn't Disney offering the new bugs life repackage online like all the other ones? Wall E, UP, Ratatotuille, are all available in stores and online at many different site (best buy, target, Walmart, amazon) why isn't A Bugs Life? The email I received from Disney stated that, the new bugs life, was limited and sold out. They told me they were NOT Getting anymore. That's why the item was removed from Disneystore.com

Maybe since A Bug's Life was already rereleased as a BD + DVD combo after the original BD + DC (the slips are very similar)?

it's a hysterical horror movie... in the same vein as Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness... two of the best can't take horror movies serious horror movies.

The new system is meant to look clean and factory installed. The shop built custom fiberglass 'boxes' the trunk and used Lexus carpet to blend them in. I was blown away by the db increase when I am using the same subs and amp. The location and type of box makes a tremendous difference.

Of all the cars, I prefer the red Carerra S. It's an 09 and she's a beast. I actually prefer it over the Ferrari 456. I've never been too fond of classics.

I just got Robin Hood with the slip for about $6.64 used. It's a nice one imo. I also got Lost season 3 without the box. I have shopped at one or two stores where they had the box, but it was really overpriced, and the box was in such poor condition that it would be pointless to get it imo.

I really like custom installs that come out looking factory installed. And, you can actually still use your trunk for what it's meant for!

I like that 456, it's the last Ferrari with the popup headlights, but then again it's engine is in the front. I'll take the 456 for looks but the Carerra S for the track!

Did I mention slipcover!?
