Or you could buy one at a store and return it still sealed without the slipcover.

Which reminds me I got Beetlejuice this morning and it didn't have the lenticular slipcover...

I got Betelgeuse with one but I got it back when it first dropped to $15, I'd be surprised if there's a lot of copies left with one. I have yet to see an EON/MGM Bond film without one though. I'd love to have one for King Kong, just not sure how to get one, may ask Universal.

I know I saw a Beetlejuice with one a week or two ago but at least my copy has the bonus cd sampler although it doesn't mention it anywhere.

Mine has one too, it's mentioned on the lenticular slipcase. Has some kind of booklet too but I don't really care. Not sure why they bother so many people, they don't really add to the thickness of the movie unless they bend out a lot like the ones on the Mummy movies.

Anyone have an estimate on how long the Watchmen: Director's Cut BD with slipcase is going to last? I intend on buying it much later in the year.

I was surprised to get the lenticular slipcover with Beetlejuice. I ordered it from Amazon when it was $15..I got lucky. It's the luck of the draw.

RiseDarthVader- I'd get it now before they become hard to find. Good luck trying to find a Clone Wars Lenticular slip. Those went OOP really fast but Watchmen should be out for a while but I'd get it while they are still around. I'm angry I missed out on the Casino Royale one...those are hard to find as well don't get me started on Dracula lol...I've got one..

Not sure. Mine had slipcover but it was a release day purchase.

I have an extra one ( slipcover) you can have mine

RiseDarthVader · 08-24-2009, 01:41 PM

I'll see if I can pick it up next month and if they don't have one I would gladly accept yours Coqui2K but I am in Australia.

EDIT: Does a price drop from $21.99 on Amazon to $20.99 indicate the removal of slipcovers?

I'm gonna order a few Blus from Amazon, including old titles like King Kong. I guess I'll find out if they include slipcovers. I'm not the biggest fan of slipcovers, but they are a nice addition.

No.

I got Push recently with a slip.

World_War_BLU · 08-24-2009, 03:25 PM

Was wondering if anyone has Last House On The Left, and did you get a slip cover? I did not get one.

steve_99101 · 08-24-2009, 04:44 PM

I ordered all 4 seasons within the last 3 weeks and seasons 1, 2, and 4 had the slipcovers.

alright cool thanks for the confirmation

Darth Fredius · 08-24-2009, 05:36 PM

I received in the same package :
Coraline : with a slipcover.
Ghosbusters : no Slipcover.
I asked Amazon.com customer service to send me a new copy with the slipcover.
They shipped it four days ago !

jaydee808 · 08-24-2009, 06:58 PM

I purchased the 2-disc Casino Royale re-release that's advertised for $12.99 and it didn't come with a slipcover. Did anyone else have one?

In the sticky, it says Casino Royale has but was wondering if it might be the first released version.

I want the new release of CR but that slipcover is hard to find. I wonder if you contact Amazon, if they'll send you one?? Give it a shot and let us know how you make out!

KilloWertz · 08-24-2009, 07:59 PM

When I got Dollhouse from them last month on release week, I didn't get the slipcover. I did get it with Watchmen though, so I guess for some reason their copies of Dollhouse came without slipcovers. No big deal for that one though since it's just a cardboard version of the case.
