In case anyone in Chicago is interested, I just saw a Blu-Ray Briefcase set at the Borders on State and Randolph downtown. I only saw one and it was in the glass case behind a couple other things and only the top inch or so of it was visible. So, look hard if you go for it.

Ya don't pay any attention to that "production delay" I ordered my bd case on the 18th. They shipped it today. I won't get it before christmas but I'm just happy i didn't have to wait any longer for it.

Wow I already got my Blade Runner order from Amazon one day after shipping. Looks like they upgraded my free shipping order to priority mail. In fact I also received several other orders I made during a few of the recent high definition B1G1 free sales and they were all shipped priority mail. Nice surprise and a big thank you to Amazon for making the effort to get my orders here before Christmas.

This might be an odd request but if anyone has the "Blade Runner 4 Disc" DVD set; could you post photos of the interior artwork? Not the section with the discs (pictured here with only 2 sides: http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/image...70007110.L.jpg) but the 4 sides behind it where WB puts the bulk of the artwork.
I'm curious to see if it's different than the 5 disc set artwork.

Does anybody know if this is showing up at Costcos?

Was gonna wait on this, but seeing how limited it really is I had to jump on it. Ordered from Amazon, but then found it at BN here in town so I bought it. If/when I get the Amazon one, I'll just return to BN, or be covered in case it doesn't ship.

Does anyone think that these briefcases will be totally sold out anytime soon? I mean, the other day I went to at least 3 stores and ALL of them were sold out of the briefcases. I am very worried I will have to pay through the nose on ebay for this.

Regardless, you state that you are worried you will have to pay through the nose on eBay. That being the case, if you can get your hands on one, now, at the regular price, I'd say go for it. If you really want to get it, it's best to get it now, rather than wait on it, and pay much more for it, later.
It's totally worth the price I paid for it at Best Buy ($54.99).
That's my take.

Work Print version. Supposedly it's a very early rough cut of the movie that differs from the theatrical, Director's & Final Cut. There is also a Paul Sammon audio commentary on it (he's the writer of a book called The Making of Blade Runner) along with a documentary on the multiple versions of the movie and the making of The Final Cut.
Lots of shit on that 5th disc. It's up to you if you think it's worth it.
The work print, you basically get the bulk of the workprint though on the 4 disc set in the international, theatrical & final cuts.

If anyone could upload photos of the 4 disc set that would be much appreciated, I'm awaiting my order to arrive and wanted to get a preview of the artwork if possible, I know others would probably like to see it as well (since besides the front & back cover, it seems to be the only packaging that so far has yet to be uploaded anywhere).
Here is what I was able to find from the 5 disc DVD breifcase set in terms of artwork if anyone is interested...
