My local Hastings has that Indiana Jones version used for $13. Isn't this it on Amazon?

It's extremely cheap..

I have one of the Target Iron Man 2 steelbooks.. not that rare, yeah yeah, I know. I guess I really don't have any rare BD's. A few imports (Inception limited edition, Almost Famous, Monsters Inc, Eternal Sunshine, Butterfly Effect), but nothing rare.

I used to have a new/sealed version of the Blade Runner suitcase, but I was in a financial bind at one point within the past year and needed rent money.. someone offered me something in the triple digits.. couldn't turn it down. I wish I could get it back.

The broadcast HD master, made before either BD, is notably better quality than the BD releases.

Can you help me out with that pm if you can get it and I'll pay with paypal.

Apparently the corrected replacement disc of 'Pinocchio' is so rare Disney CS refuses to believe it actually exists!

Johnny Vinyl · 12-26-2010, 08:46 AM

I believe that "Legends of Jazz" is as well.

Going out of print in a short period made the frenzy that much more, in my opinion.

I was so incredibly stupid with this movie! I had a sealed copy (Region A locked so couldn't watch it) laying around, and I decided to sell it when Studiocanal released their BD of the movie!

I regret that move very, very much..

Don't have a friend with a spare copy do you? (c: Would love to get this at a price which isn't as scary as what you see on eBay!

Amazon Market Place is about the same price wise. It is only going to get worse, in my opinion. Better to snag one while you can.

My Target has several copies of this...

Alpha · 12-27-2010, 04:21 AM

The two recent ones would easily be:

- Inception Briefcase (US version)
- UK tin of Back to the Future

JohnCarpenterLives · 12-27-2010, 05:21 AM

Regarding the Criterion Third Man:

Is the plastic case more scarce because that packaging was introduced closer to the OOP date? Should I try to get that, in addition to my copy with original packaging?

...and does the Akria bd come with any special packaging or is it just a normal case?

Nah is not. It was only released early October of last year. Best Buy stores still carry the edition and as the above user stated, Target as well.

Shallow_ · 12-27-2010, 06:06 AM

Evil Dead limited 2 disc is oop. Managed to grab a copy from my usual retailer after it started popping up on ebay at oop prices

,deeii · 12-27-2010, 08:18 AM

Perhaps the Dutch 'The Expendables Ultimate Collector's Edition' OOP already and there's only 1,500 of them.

Really? I was able to order a copy from WBshop just last month. It was cheaper than the box set.
