If DVD packaging has not yet jumped the shark, it just did.

They released an After School Special DVD in a similar case I think. I actually think that Heathers thing is pretty cool but why is it $80?

My guess is the price is due to it being a four foot tall steel locker - or some equivalent size.

Wasn't it "HAIRSPRAY" (the remake) that came in a locker? The After-School Specials came in a schoolbus. There's more room in a schoolbus.

Now I've seen a lot of bullshit: angel dust, switchblades, sexually perverse photography involving tennis rackets...but a dvd packaged in a fucking locker certainly takes the cake. Fuck me gently with a chainsaw!

The whopping 10% discount is even more lol-worthy.

What. The. Fuck. I seriously JUST bought this a MONTH AGO. This is TWO double dips within a 5 month period. To quote Frank Booth: "FUCK THAT SHIT!"

Happily passing. I've got my old AB tin. I need nothing else, especially a gimmicky locker thing that I have no room for.

Agreed. The last edition added no new extras of consequence, and I doubt this version will either. Besides, the tin included a kick-ass plastic ruler!

Does anyone see how big this really is? For $90, I'd be expecting a full-size locker.

Even considering the packaging, this pricing is nuts. I mean Seinfeld had a big refrigerator, a lot more than 1 movie ... and it wasn't much more than this. Unless a visit from Winona Ryder is included, this is an easy pass for me.

Holy crap, 70-80 buck markup for a tin case? Unless it is full size and comes with a Heather, that's insane. On the other hand, makes the 20 bucks extra I'm paying for "limited editions" of video games seem a little more reasonable, especially since I actually get stuff with those.

Maybe it's filled with a variety of corn nuts.

well, considering I never exchanged my DVD from the LE tin, and I passed on the last reissue (the only edition I didn't buy, btw), I happily will welcome this set into my collection.


(When the next DDD sale happens, that is)

Yep, same here. That all the Heathers that I need until it finally reaches Blu.

You can now imagine that locker being used for the next John Hughes high school set!
