$58 shipped from UK. Supposed to be region free, but I'm holding out.

Re: Alien Anthology - Oct. 26th
I'm seeing a smattering of confirmations at AVS and elsewhere that the UK set is indeed region free. For $58/shipped, I'm extremely tempted to buy . . .

The set is so expensive that the mass retailers (Wal-Mart and Target) might not want to deal with it... either out of fear of theft or taking up shelf space from things that have a better chance of selling.
And, if other places are like the ones I shop at, they'll have them wrapped up so tightly in a spiders that the cases are damaged.

so why you think they wont have this is beyond me.
by your rational they probably wouldnt be carrying the starwars boxset next year than either.

Mega-tempted to bite for $60 from the UK but I know the UK rating logos would bother me and some people on Amazon are claiming they heard "locked" to UK.
I have a $5 certificate. If Best Buy ends up stocking it for $84.99 or even $89.99 and we get the same $20-off coupon, that's not bad.

The Best Buy website pre-order price is $109. Not terribly promising.

I'm more concerned that there would be minor differences on the packaging and discs that would bug me.

The BTTF case blows. I smashed my House case.

Im a pretty design oriented guy and take great care as to how I shelve and organize things anywhere. With that in mind, I do abhore those UK rating logs. They're pretty garish, and due to how think the Alien box should be, it will look horrendous...

Re: Alien Anthology - Oct. 26th
I'll never understand how something as trivial as a ratings logo can be so bothersome to some people.
How is the little circled '15' any more "garish" or "horrendous" than the Columbia Pictures logo or the Dragon Dynasty numbering or Sandra Bullock's miniature face?

If it was OCD I don't think you'd arbitrarily despise one kind of relatively unobtrusive/negligible logo but not all the other various ones. Whatever you have makes a lot less sense than OCD.

If someone was really concerned about the appearance of his home decor, he wouldn't even display hi blu-ray/dvds, and would keep them out of view. What is much more horrendously garish than the UK labels are the living room pictures I've seen of some members with shelves and shelves of this shit out in the open for all to see, many times made even worse, adorned with action figures and the like - basically, vagina repellent.
