This is a really complicated way to say you just hate streaming. Your reasoning also makes no sense whatsoever.

Warner has been selling classic films steadily enough on their respective anniversary dates to keep pressing the same discs with new art. You can own Singing in the Rain Ultimate Collector’s Edition on Blu-ray with the premium umbrella. Then spring for the 4K disc when it came out.

I got the UCE Blu-ray for The Wizard of Oz with premium watch at Ross. Then I got the 3D Target Exclusive with lunchbag. Now I have the 4K release.

A Christmas Story plays multiple times on TV and many here paid for the 4K disc to get the newest restoration. I’m betting Warner will repromote it again this Christmas because it is a guaranteed seller.
