I really like the idea of the reprints of the Marvel adaptations. I have an old beat-up version of Star Wars, a worn copy of ESB in the paperback version, and can't find my ROTJ copy.

For the right price, I might consider this dammit.

best buy gets my money

The Best Buy Tin set for $87.00 is not worth it IMO. I refuse to rebuy the trilogy again until it is released on HD-DVD. I have pruchased the trilogy 3 times now (VHS, Dif LS set) and DVD. HD-DVD or nothing going forward.

I ain't payin 87 bucks!!!

That is 87 can. I thought i saw around a 50-60 dollar price....

C$87.99 = US$8.20 if I used xe.com accurately...

/just kidding...
//it's really $79.27
///slashies!

thats msrp....factor in this will have a sale price off 80 us...all the stand alone is 90 msrp us

dammit that tin might be enought to push me over the edge and buy this, it would at least be worth driving over and looking at.

Don't give in to the force!!!! :D

am i the only one holding off until i can buy all 7 flicks with an exclusive bonus dvd and coa all in one 30 lb brick in the shape of han solo in carbonite that fits in a talking darth vader head that i can proudly display next to my pota ape head?

7? :hscratch:

(i'm holding out for an R2D2 holder)

Star Wars Holiday Special!

Any difference between disc 1 of this set and disc 1 of the trilogy set ?

supposed to be same disc...same cut, same commentary

Actually, my comment about being "done" meant that I was done ranting, not that I'm done buying the films. It's funny, though -- I really thought I could get rid of my SE bootlegs when the official DVDs finally came out, but of course there were more changes to the films. Looks like I'll even have to hang on to my 2004 set, because in the big boxed set of both trilogies, there are reportedly going to be even MORE changes to the films! That's fine by me, though. I'm actually kind of nostalgic for the SEs now, possibly since I actually saw them in the theater and it was all still new then since it was the first time in many years they had been re-released. I welcome more changes though, because I enjoy seeing the story augmented and references being made back and forth between trilogies. Of course given the awful new dialogue in ESB between the Emperor and Vader, the new changes may not necessarily improve the films, at least in my eyes. Seeing Hayden Christensen at the end of ROTJ sure as hell didn't. :grumble:

It's definitely nice to have actual official DVDs of the films as they first appeared in theaters -- that's at least one set of bootlegs I can dispense with. Maybe we'll get a set of Special Edition DVDs containing the films as they were in 1997, but I'm not holding my breath. I think I'm gonna find some multi-disc cases and put all the different versions of each film together. I wouldn't normally do that, but as crappy as the cover art has been for these latest releases, I have no problem parting with the original art. Oops... just opened another can of worms there, didn't I? ;)

I'll definitely give the BB tin a look, but I'm not big on tin boxes. Just depends on who's got the best price, really. Given that the "graphic novels" will probably be extra-flimsy DVD-sized comics, I doubt I'd be missing much if I passed on WAL-MART's bonus offer, especially since my ESB original is in really good shape, and that's the only one I'd really want. Still, if all three at WAL-MART are less than the tin at BEST BUY, it'll probably be WAL-MART.

<gasp> You mean someone on this forum is actually willing to DRIVE to a RETAIL store??? ;)

SW Exclusives??
 

Is it confirmed that Best Buy is doing a collector's tin?? I haven't seen any pics yet, nor do I see it offered on their website. Besides the comics at Walmart, are there any other exclusives that have been named yet?

Tin schmin.

I want to spend as little as possible on the O-OT disks.

Only Best Buy Canada has it on the website...but here is the pic

Should carry on over to USA

iirc, best buy canada had a tine exclusive for v for vendetta so i wouldn't be too sure about this coming over to the states

Does Canada best buy site ship to USA?

According to rebelscum.com it looks like Target is going to have some type of exclusive artwork inserts.

Yes... it's in the recently posted ad in the Bargains forum.

To me, they look to be about the size of baseball cards.

Speaking of which, you get a Han Vs. Greedo card when you order from the Star Wars website.

Well, that tin sure looks nice.

<i>Mod note: :crap: removed</i>

I'm not counting on the tin to reach the U.S. We never get the cool stuff even though we are the ones making these movies.

None of that extra stuff for me, just give me the movies. I'll have the cover art remade into ThinPak cases anyway.

I think the only way I'd buy the OT trilogy is if a retailer has exclusive bonus dvd content.

That was Future Shop not Best Buy Canada that had the tin package for V for Vendetta. They are owned by Best Buy but are run as a different store (independent from Best Buy) here in Canada.

unfortunately, futureshop (the bestbuy canada of which youre referring) does not ship to the u.s. as of now :(

the tin is on the best buy canada site...not the futureshop site

ooh...I might have to go to WalMart. I've got a few of these comics. This might be similar to the V for Vendetta/DC mini-graphic novel.

I think those are gonna be full-sized comics based on how small the DVD cover art is on those packages.

I'll be danged!! The U.S. gets the tin.... but at what cost? GEEZ!

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....p=1&id=1562088

Well, I would have paid it...

Wow! The tin may be nice and all but I'm not paying $40 more for a metal box.
