Star Wars: The Complete Saga (1977-2005) - Page 1675 - Blu-ray Forum

Richard Graham · 09-16-2011, 05:27 PM

Two questions:

1. Has the shot of Obi-Wan's braid on the wrong side in TPM been fixed?

2. Has the shot of Obi-Wan holding the wrong saber handle during the duel with Anakin in ROTS been fixed?

Thanks.

Mine has been out for delivery since 5:12am hoping it arrives today!!!!

My Target experience...

They had a kiosk in the front of the store for the Star Wars Blu-ray sets, basically on the end of the check-out stations where they normally have bargain DVDs and other bargain deals.

It was quite funny, only of my Target's kiosk had spider wire on them. I believe this was from the movie section, as I browsed over there quickly and saw a bunch of spider-wrapped sets. But my Target had at least 20 copies of the Complete Series WITHOUT the spider wire. Despite this, there were only about 5 or so of the Lithograph sets after I picked mine up.

If the lithograph set is a deal-breaker for anyone, note that the 8 lithographs are larger versions of the artwork on the inside cover of each disc-holder! No unique lithographs at all.

Very satisfied, but I don't know how long it'll be before they put the spider wire on all of these sets, I wouldn't imagine it'd be too long. Probably as soon as the kiosk goes down, the spider wires go up. I checked to see the condition of the one that did have spider wire, and low-and-behold it dented the box.

If you want a mint copy and you want the lithograph, it's best to go ASAP.

The Sith Yoda is definitely better than the puppet. Ep2+3 brought new "life" to Yoda - made him much better of a character (and he was very cool before).

I think I'd prefer that 5+6 have the CGI Yoda, but if "No" gave so many people a heart attack - imagine the outcry about Yoda.

No, I think puppet Yoda is here to stay.

Shoplifters have that same rush for anything they may be looking for. So I wonder did you really "buy" it.

How is that the employees fault? An item scans up at a certain price. Believe it or not, they're not allowed to haggle.

Woo-hoo!

A cool extra/extended/deleted scene would have been the original duel where they actually switch sabers. As well as the fight with Sidious where Anakin was there the whole time and watched the fight before intervening.

Walmart Employee: Not from here. It's $98.xx
Me: Do you price match? It's $79.99 at Target and Best Buy.
Walmart Employee: Oh, okay. It's $79.99

!?!?!?!

To be fair, it is even in their TV commercials' "fine print" that they don't price-match their website. It's a stupid policy, but it is what it is. The poor Walmart employee is only doing his job, and these days you gotta do what you gotta do...

I have no idea why they think spider wire really enhances their security. in reality, it just pisses off customers.

Not haggle, but they do have procedures to take care of sign errors, etc.

batutta · 09-16-2011, 05:37 PM

Picked up the OT this morning and am also disappointed in the picture quality. Overall the black levels are too dark and inconsistent, and the color timing seems all over the map. There are edge enhancement halos in certain scenes. Weird flickering grain patterns in skies. I really thought they'd look better than this. The new sound mixes, however, get an A plus. John Williams score is no longer buried under sound effects and everything is beautifully clear.

But hey, again, $45 is worth waiting a couple of days.

thanks for the information. i got a email from them yesterday said it was shipped and they gave me the tracking# to. they shipped it with dhl global mail. just waiting for dhl to update there sight so i can find out when iam going to get it.

Phatjedi · 09-16-2011, 05:38 PM

Mine showed up yesterday (actually they sent me 2 but I sent the other one back to Amazon). I am going to watch them in the order they were released in theaters starting in 1977. I actually feel the same now as I did as a 13 year old in May of 77.

Today is a good day

Trace17 · 09-16-2011, 05:39 PM

Nobody told me I needed a Doctorate degree in Rocket Science to get the freakin discs out

I work at walmart and when I first started the manager that trainded me said we do match website prices now and I've been working there for 4 months its easier to ask for a manager than to talk the people working on the floor
