I can't believe some of the silly things people throw money away on, I've never understood some of these uber pricy limited editions in either movies or video games. It seems like almost universally, the included trinkets are just chinese made plastic junk that might only be worth $2-5 if sold alone. I guess if one really likes a particular franchise they can splurge on the ultimate edition, but I know people that buy these things all the time in the video game side of things and just keep these editions sealed. I'm sure there are people that do the same with movies and line their shelves with the big ultimate box sets. It is truly baffling to me they would do that, when there are many alternatives to get much better movie memorabilia for cheaper prices. I've bought a couple of them and regretted later since it was basically just crap in a box - I have these editions hidden in a corner somewhere.
Of course many people would argue that collecting physical movies at all is a waste of money. Maybe it is a tad hypocritical for someone that has a relatively large collection to say this, but I do see most ultimate editions as a crossroads between corporate greed and "suckers" willing to pay max dollars. Just because you can "afford" to spend it doesn't mean you should IMHO.

People never learn that the original price on Amazon is never what it's released at. It will go down. On Amazon.ca it's $83 and that will also go down.
