I hate to say this, considering I've seen so many movies, but I have never seen this movie. But, dammit, I keep thinking I need to pick up this awesome set as a blind buy!

Good luck finding one now. Try eBay.

I see it as part of the unit. I'm keeping mine on it. 200 years from now someone will appreciate that I did that.

No slipcover for me. I will also be taking out the items inside and displaying them next to the case.

What do you mean scratches? From dust?

Just by moving the case itself around. I figured the plastic would help a little.

Well that's true. I figure DVDs will STILL be around due to all the upcoming format wars.

Notice this sticker says out of 100,000 instead of 103,000 ?
Also is the sticker Gold or is that just a reflection? Ive only seen silver so far

If the slipcase didn't have the breakdown on what was inside the case, along with pictures of everything laid out on display, I'd consider the slipcase as disposable. But I like the info on the back of it. I also like that the sides say "Blade Runner" in red.

Most collectors would place more value on this unit with the case than without the case.

Actually, it says 10,000, not 100,000. Without ever seeing one of the Canadian versions, I am going to say that is one of the Canadian releases that was limited to 10,000.

Still cool that he got 2021/10,000

D_N_G:

I do believe you're right about the date in the movie (probably why I didn't pick up on the # earlier). But it is the date in the original book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" (Philip K. Dick, (c)1968).

Also, the second # is 10,000, not 100,000.

Did they make different sized runs for each format?

Also that it's plastic and not cardboard, meaning either storing or disposing is more difficult.

Storing, ie. you can't flatten it quite so easily,and disposing...well, cardboard can be recycled or even just burned. Plastic cannot.

I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the slipcover...

mike2 12-28-07 01:43 PM

Ya a shame you can't fit it inside. Well you can put you'll mess up the slipcover.

Finally found a copy at Borders. Mine is #072528 (standard DVD version). This is easily the most amazing DVD release of any single motion picture ever. Just amazing.

Takeshi357 12-28-07 02:29 PM

Strangely enough, despite getting caught by customs, my Blade Runner briefcase arrived without any customs charges.

Which is very odd as while there is a sort of limit (Anything less than 45 euros will pass through since the customs do not make under 10 euro charges), the price of the set (53+ euros) exceeded that.

Blu-ray #093767/103000. My HD DVD set hasn't arrived yet.

lol Wild Turkey is kicking in early. I meant that the cover will get messed up if you throw it inside the case.
