So an extra $30 for a statue? Wow.

With the sequels as bad as they were, I couldn't consider them more than extra features, like when they throw on older versions of remakes on a separate disc to sweeten the deal. My price point for this will probably be $20 tops. As for the statue, pass!

So the statue is the only difference between this and the regular release? Seems like a big hike in price just for the statue.

I'll probably sit this one out unless I can pick up the regular edition for a good price. I suspect there's a chance that the limited edition "gift set" is going to be over-produced, sell jack shit, and end dirt cheap in about a year.

This is an easy order for me. The Sideshow stuff is always nice in these sets.

So almost 30 bucks a movie with a statue.. Definitely not worth it. This is the same price as the star wars set just about and that is 6 movies, granted 3 are crap, but still.

2 and a half are crap, the second half of Revenge of the sith wasn't all that bad.

I thought he was talking about Jedi more than Sith?

Thanks. Definitely good to know, but still kinda pricey though.

Re: Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy Limited Edition Gift Set @ Amazon $84

I actually like the look of this set quite a lot, but not enough to spend that much on it. In a different year where there aren't several Blu-ray box sets vying for my money, maybe I splurge but not this year. I've already downgraded my Lion King plans from the trilogy box set to just the standard, 2-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo pack of the first one (not even bothering with the 4-disc combo pack with the 3D Blu and Digital Copy). A statue just isn't compelling enough to make me go all out on this set.

Really! A big, bulky, heavy sculpture with detailed paint applications is adding $30 onto a $50 set with a bunch of flimsy discs encased in plastic and cardboard that probably cost a few cents to produce? OUTRAGE!

I think Ive decided to just put the basic boxset on my Christmas list. I dislike these gift sets but have to admit the toy is kinda cool looking.

...But it comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. That means it's a collectable!

This (non-shelf-clogging-crap version) was in my Gold Box today for $47.49 so keep an eye out there.

You've seen this in person?!?

It's probably a cheap POS like most of these things. But hey, pay an extra $30 for it. That's why studios keep spitting this little trinkets out.

Re: Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy Limited Edition Gift Set @ Amazon $84

this is either going to be limited and numbered, or (more likely) going to be around for years and eventually end up with just the sculpture on a target clearance shelf for $10.

Hope this awesome set comes with a move ticket to see I AM REX. The allegedly true story of a Tyrannosaurus Rex who was retarded and misunderstood by other dinosaurs. Sean Penn is the voice of Rex.
