Let's not forget the Reservoir Dogs character slip covers. I remember scoring the only Mr. Brown in the store, and I thought I had hit a gold mine!

Is it worth anything today?

I noticed the clips on Memento being different colors. Is any one worth more than the others?


BTW, I did notice that the Star Trek BD 2-disc has a Kirk cover and a Spock cover under the slip. Is there any difference in value?

I recently sold some DVD/BD's but kept the slips where appropriate. You never know if you'll be able to find them again when re-purchasing.

...it's very apparent that it's not a 'both' situation.

Are you keeping both copies of that movie because thats silly as you could just keep one copy and return on minus the slipcover

It's just slipcovers. No blu-rays. I bought them from a member on another forum.

I was joking with The Lizard King. We both collect slipcovers and we are good friends.

Yes, but are there multiple variants of the box and did they later release the blender wrapped in plastic without a box? That really ups the value you know!

I think a/v junkie's just trying to become internet famous like Xage and danol.

Maybe if we ignore him, he'll go away.



At least danol was entertaining.

LOL!! Really??? Don't you think it's childish to ignore a member because of their collection. You must be like 16, 17??

Your high school behavior will get you nowhere. ;)

You will never earn enough selling them to recoup what you've already spent buying films you A) wouldn't have otherwise had they not come with a slipcover, and B) make up for the duplicates you've bought just because they came with an 'exclusive' slipcover.

So to sum up, Obi-Wan Jabroni was right ;)

This seems to be the best place to ask: if I order the Tron Bluray plus DVD (the basic 2 disc set) from Amazon, does anyone know if they're shipping with the slipcover? My Tron Legacy has the slip and I want them to match.

tks

Probably. Disney slips tend to have a LONG run.

I agree with TLK. Most Disney titles that have slipcovers have a longer print run than any other movie studio.

You go ahead and think that while I collect my slipcovers :D

I just received my copy of The Incredibles in the mail. No slip cover. :(
Now it sticks out like a sore thumb on the shelf with my other Disney titles.

Hmmmm.....I still see copies with slipcovers in my area. Did you order through Amazon??

GoldenJCJ 04-16-12 04:39 PM

Re: these people are obsessed with slipcovers
 
I ordered it through Disneymovieclub.com so I didn't have a choice in what was sent to me. Interestingly, all the other movies I ordered came with their slipcovers.

Huh, that is weird. I ordered the Bolt DVD a few months ago, and the first time it came it had a slipcover, but the postal service chewed it up, so I sent it back and the second copy still had a slipcover also.

I read on another forum that you can actually order a slipcover from Disney. I need to find link.
