Default Anybody Else waiting for Back to the Future to get released separately?

I love all 3 movies. but I hate this Trilogy Box. Am I alone on this? I just don't want this box on my shelf and have to open it up to get the disc I want. I already have the damn Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pizza box on my shelf lol

I really hope it get's released Separately with each movie having it's own Amaray case.

Steelbook would be my number one choice, or even Digibook

Steelbook reasonably priced ftw but yes I am waiting for better packaging, this tripack casing is an abomination.

It is going to be one or two years before you see individual releases. I can wait, Universal did a pretty poor job of remastering the films.

It could be sooner, the LoTR films came out relatively quickly as individuals after the box set came out. Really hoping for like an April release on these, I can wait longer though. Seen them all dozens of times, plus they're still on TV relatively often.

Just make your own. Blu cases are pretty cheap if you don't already have extras around, and the custom cover art thread is full of people making awesome looking slipcovers - often better than the official ones - and most are happy to share it with others to print for your own.

That might be because LOTR was released by WHV, while BTTF is released by Universal HV - and I think WHV still has the edge in bringing out catalog titles more quickly than UHV.

Whatever the case, I'm happy with my UK tinbox set, which is beyond awesome!!!

But like the other person said, you can always buy the cases separately and get some custom-made covers, that's pretty awesome, too!!

You're out of your mind or you haven't seen them. The transfers are incredible. Probably the best older movie transfers I have seen yet. I couldn't imagine it looking any better to be honest. They look great.

I didn't wait. These are my all-time favorite movies, so I wasn't going to wait to own them. But I was VERY disapointed in the pacakging for multiple reasons, so I took care of this issue in part on my own and in part by help of the custom cover artists on this site:

If even that quick. The Trilogy was originally released as a set on DVD back in 2002, and individual releases of the movies didn't even happen until around February of last year.

That's the way to do it. Why people don't buy cases if this is an issue I don't understand. Silly to not buy a movie because of the packaging it comes in or it won't look right on my shelf lol.

Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry makes fun of people that put books up on a shelf like tropies.

Laugh all you want, but there's nothing wrong with people waiting to buy these movies because of the packaging. The packaging is part of what you pay for. I can wait until they finally release these individually. If I had a color printer, it would be a different story, but I don't. I'll survive.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons of the various packaging options I've decided to wait for separate releases because the second and third movies suck.

If you're waiting for seperate releases it could be much longer than that. It took Universal seven years after releasing the DVD box set to release the BTTF titles seperately on DVD.

I am! I also want the first 2 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but now the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles box set is $42 on Amazon so it is very tempting to order!
