Return of the King EE packaging question.
 

I just the dvd and have a problem you know the one sheet they stick to the back of the case telling you what the disc contains. Well I can't get it off I think they crazy glued it on this time, I always remove them since they are never properly stuck on there anyway. Any ideas on how I might remove it without destroying the case.

Get a bottle of Goo-Gone from Wal Mart.

But mine didn't even have anything on the back.

Did you buy it from Canada? I remember people complaining about the glued in sheet on their LOTR:TTT EE last year and it mostly came from Canada. The US version was not glued at all.

For the last 2 sets I didn't have a problem with the Canadian versions.

These things usually come attached using that rubber cement glue that comes off easily.

I got my copy from Walmart in NY, they did use the cement glue but it's stuck on there pretty good. When I pull on it the case starts to rip.

Got mine from Best Buy, the sheet wasn't glued at all, just held in place by the shrink wrap.

I got mine today from canada and it has that rubber glue mike lowrey mentioned. It came off perfectly, without leaving any glue or damage on the slipcase. A lot better than TTT (canadian too), wich has a very strong glue :( , so I decided to not remove the sheet for the sake of the slipcover. They should always use that rubber glue for this purpose.

I finally got it off with much pulling and tearing, it left a bit of a glue mark which I can live with at least it didn't damage it.

Mok, return it and get another one and open it in the car or at the register.

In my experience from buying the last two EEs from best buy, they are just sitting there and not attached by glue. So, try to buy it from there if at all possible.

same

heat it with a hair dryer, should come right off

Mine was also purchased at Best Buy, which I cna confirm again, was held on only by shrink wrap. It would be a shame to damage that beautiful box.

Soak it in warm, soapy water for about an hour.

:lol: @ Mutley

Get a dishrag, put it over the area, then get an iron and slowly warm the rag. It should come right off when the glue is warmed.

For boxes like these, I just use an exacto knife to cut around 3 edges so that I can pull the DVD foldout packaging out. By doing this, the shrinwrap stays on and it protects the box better IMHO.

Same here. The sheet just about feel off by itself. I got the gift set, so not sure if that makes a difference.

No glue here on the copy i got from coconuts.

Holy Carp, I think Mok has a collectible. Sell it on eBay for $50.

They seemed to used different glue this time around (in BC, canada anyways) because I was able to pull off that paper thing, and peel of the glue with my fingers. It was very easy, and didn't damage the box at all. It seems that the mfg of these dvds heard the complaints about TTTEE.

I agree. Last time was horrible getting it off, this time it was easy. I guess they got enough complaints.

Still hate the damn bilingual crap though.

got it from Best Buy as well, no glue holding on the back sheet.

that glue is terrible. i had that problem when I bought the Good, The Bad, and the Ugly: SE. the glue left a weird airbubble on the back of the box.

mine was glued and i got it from best buy

I tried sniffing the glue off but didn't get any buzz whatsoever. Cheap friggin Canadian glue... -ohbfrank-
