My Che Part 1 case had a tear in it. You can buy a replacement case + cover by sending $5 to the Criterion store via paypal.

just tell them what you need in the message box and your address and they will ship it out.

You could obviously return it to B&N through the mail, which I'm sure you're trying to avoid. Is it possible, however, to return it to your nearest B&N location for an exchange? Have you contacted them about that?

I'm sure Criterion would be more than happy to send you a replacement case for money, but this isn't a case of just buying a replacement for an extra... it's to replace a damaged case. Criterion may suggest also contacting B&N, though, before giving in to sending one out. Ya never know.

My shipment (including Che) is coming tomorrow, I sure hope I don't have any problems!

The art for Paths of Glory has been revealed. http://www.criterion.com/current/pos...lory-cover-art

If it's just the case that is broken, contact Criterion and they will send you some replacements for free. The same thing happened to me a while back and they were really cool about fixing a problem that wasn't even theirs to begin with.

Cool to hear. I just got a copy of Sanjuro from BN.com and the cover was cut weird. The title on the spine is half on the spine and half on the back of the case. I guess I'll email them to see if I can get a replacement cover insert.

Also, I got Chunking Express as part of the sale and it was in a digipack. I was a little surprised, I thought all of those would have been sold off by now. Guess I'll order another case from Criterion...

Oh my! House and Paths of Glory on Criterion blu's on the same day? I better go run and circle this day in the calendar. I'm more excited for this than for my birthday. Pre-ordering both...

Email B&N with the information and order number and your name and address and everything and they'll ship another one out to you. I had to do it a while back and they told me to not even bother sending the broken one back.

My Sanjuro is the same way. I'm going out to Best Buy where I've seen the set and buy it and return the weirdly cut one personally.

Thanks for all the responses re: the broken Che Part 2 case guys. I e-mailed Criterion about it, and they are helping me out by sending a new replacement case. Seriously great customer service. I'm definitely going to be a fan for life!

October 26th is like Christmas this year, with the Alien Anthology, Back to the Future trilogy, and Rock Band 3 also coming.

Seriously, September 28th through October 26th is INSANE.

And those are just the ones I'm personally getting. At least the Criterion's can wait until November for a likely B&N sale.

I picked up an extra copy of Criterion's out-of-print Man Who Fell to Earth Blu-ray thinking that I'd hold on to it and eventually trade or sell it.... but now I'm having second thoughts that my digipack BD may not ever become much more valuable than it is at the moment.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Take a look at what The Third Man (CC) (BD) (OOP) sells for....

Probably somewhere between $40 and $60 max for a period before it gets re-released (and then settling in that lower range after at best). Subtract selling/packaging/gas/time/effort costs and your max profit might be $15-30 depending on your purchase price/costs.

Plus numerous other people probably bought it with the same intention, versus 'The Third Man' which seemed to dry up quicker.

A few 2011 possibilities, from Criterion's Facebook page:

I don't expect Man Who Fell To Earth is going to do much after market.
I bought one copy just to see it again and see if my opinion of it has changed much over the years. I expect to get close to the $14 I paid for it back, after commission fees are tacked on to the final sale price- but not much more than that.

Sealed you might get the original MSRP, but the problem is a lot of other people are snapping up copies now from B&N now with the same intention of making a killing down the line. I expect supply to exceed demand for a long time on this- unless you're prepared to offer it at a discount. Andd then you have to worry about unloading it before Lionsgate comes out with their version.

At the worst though, you won't lose money- just might not make much.

Wow, dvdbeaver really overhauled their site!

yea...long day.

That's 2 of them right off my dream list.

Even when it is re-released there will be Criterion collectors out there keeping the price up. But I do agree it's not going to sky rocket any time soon as Amazon is still selling new copies of it, Pierrot le fou has been OOP for months and you can still easily buy it new for less than the msrp.

My Powell & Pressburger Blu-Rays arrived today. Nerdgasm!

Seriously if it were only these two releases this year... dayenu.
