I might get this. The art is not too bad.

Yeah. The bench was removed from its Savannah, Georgia location (where I looked for that bench only to discover it missing) because it got too much attention from tourists lol

So now when visiting Chippewa Square, you have to imagine the bench being there.

Isn't this the same release as the Zavvi exclusive last year?

I just searched Ebay, and it’s definitely one that’s been released in other countries.

I prefer the white style, which was only available previously from Play, and also in a Chinese Limited Box Set.

ConDers · 03-05-2019, 06:10 AM

I got it from amazon.it last year. Its alright but nothing special

pi2loc · 03-05-2019, 07:57 AM

4K was very lackluster, sold the disc after the disappointment. Sticking to my Sapphire Series blu-ray. Might get this steelbook, though.

just have him scoot over and theres plenty of room

Smigro · 03-05-2019, 12:53 PM

I will stick with my play.com Centenary Edition

El Rey · 03-05-2019, 03:24 PM

Eh, kinda bland looking. Price is cheap enough that I may bite depending on how it looks in person. Would also be nice to see the inside artwork.

Veronica Mars · 03-05-2019, 03:50 PM

Will probably get this if it’s easy to get at my local Best Buy and if there are two hubs. Stackable discs is not an option for me.

This is the inside of the steel the rest of the world got last year. Seems to be the same one.

InBruges · 03-05-2019, 06:18 PM

TwoTimesPrime · 03-06-2019, 06:58 PM

I only have FG on DVD. One of my all-time favorite movies, Blu-Ray, Steelbook and a super stupid price of $12.99 = Preordered

.

DR9 · 03-06-2019, 10:58 PM

Seen it to many times, would never rewatch it again so Ill pass

BluBonnet · 03-06-2019, 11:26 PM

What a wasted opportunity, they could have made something that looked like a box of chocolates... but you never know what you're going to get!

That’s some serious restraint, holding off from dvd until now.
I am not ashamed to admit I don’t possess that much restraint.

I think I would've gotten it if it opened up as a box of chocolates.

This doesn't look that special to me.

Nagamura · 03-08-2019, 01:57 AM

Too bad this doesn't include 4K, but I'm still grabbing it at that price.
