Star Wars: The Complete Saga (1977-2005) - Page 1680 - Blu-ray Forum

PowellPressburger · 09-16-2011, 07:02 PM

I picked up my copy at the MOA Best Buy location since I had some other errands to run this morning and I put in for this day off back when the date was announced.

I think me and a couple others were looking to get into the store. There was no line. They seemed to have plenty of shirts. and only a few sets inside Plastic Anti Theft cases (Better than spider wraps) The lady working in the BLU area told me they had tons up at front registers so I could grab one there. She said they didn't want to spider wrap them. (I was shocked)

Wasn't sure what Best Buy everyday price would be once the sale ended. (Currently Ringing up at 79.99) The BB Sticker Price is $124.99.

no pre-order necessary.. just grab it from the display.. it's free as long as you
buy any star wars blu-ray (prequel trilogy, original trilogy, complete saga)

These "archival" commentaries are straight GOLD! On Episode IV, Muren and Lucas touch upon this issues of doing a Special Edition of the films a lot.

Either way, these commentaries are awesome. I'm so looking forward to the "archival" commentaries from the Prequels. I really want to hear what the actors have to say.

I bought the two Trilogies separately because they need to be in different places in my collection and I don't really like the packaging of the whole set.

Enjoy everybody.

Happy StarWars Blu-ray day!!!

I went the cheaper route also by buying both trilogies separately from TRU for $29 each. I've bought these movies so many times during the years that I know we are bound to get better releases at some point on BD.

+1

Well said! Steelmaker !

Maybe I'll run to Walmart and buy the LEGO Star Wars short just to pretend I'm participating in all the fun.

That's what I'll do too, I don't think I'll get my set until next week

This would be funnier if it wasn't so true.

I see both sides: Walmart is paying what the government says they must...and yet, even while making minimum wage, you can still do your job right; not doing so makes a person look mediocre.

To me, either put the extra content on a disc or just don't bother with it. Don't put it up as virtual content that potentially could be taken down at any time that I have to connect my player to the internet in order to watch. Either put it on the disc, or just make it availalbe on a website that anyone can log into. Don't turn it into some kind of annoying mixture of the most inconvenient aspects of both.

Exactly, special features should be IN the disc. Maybe BD-Live from Iron Man 2 to watch the Iron Man 3 trailer earlier, or some behind the scenes footage of Iron Man 3 (as example).

No he meant this logo...

But it's not on the discs. Which admitidly is a bit odd as it's the only place I would expect to see it. Why they spent money on that just to use for the online teasers I'll never know

This one is on at the end of the PT films...

This one on the OT

Following corporate policy no matter how silly is doing their job right.

Havok83 · 09-16-2011, 07:18 PM

Ive never seen any of these films. Whats the best way to watch. The original trilogy first or the prequels?

Just wanted to add that I also got the t-shirt free with online purchase/in-store pick-up option. I was after the $79.99 price which is why I ordered online, but there was a big $79.99 sign on the front display when I got there as opposed to the original $89.99 price in the ad. I don't know if this is for all stores so YMMV.

As for the t-shirt itself, it's the cheaper thin material that doesn't feel like it'll last. Get it free, but don't pay the $10 unless you really, REALLY want to look cool with a Darth Vader shirt when you take your girl out on a date tonight.

1-6.

Don't let the fog of those nostalgia grabbers tell you otherwise.

I'm in my 30's and I prefer it 1-6.

Power2the1 · 09-16-2011, 07:24 PM

Got my pre-order copy of the Complete Saga at Best Buy as soon as they opened today at 10 AM. Can't wait to watch it tonight, hopefully.

Only 'disappointment', if you even want to call it that, is the T-shirt size. They only had XL. I'm a L. Oh well, maybe it will shrink in the wash and on a very hot dry cycle.

Sorry to hear that! That's a little unusual from Amazon, isn't it? Well, actually thinking about it, doesn't seem like that's damage due to shipping, but possibly tempature/heat damage if the cardboard and paint stuck to disc - ?

How was it packaged?

Mine got delivered today from Amazon as well. I'm anxious to see when I get home.

Anyone else received damage from Amazon?
