re: Star Wars

re: Star Wars
Seems weird to me, but then I am not a fan of these paper packages with sleeves either.

re: Star Wars
Since the Star Wars US set matches the Alien set, then expect the outer case to be very sturdy. This isn't some cheap cover. So it should hold up well. I'm not a big fan of the inner book style package, but there's worse packaging out there. Don't care about the disc label since I'll be looking at it for about 5 seconds each time I load the disc.
Luckily I still have 1 Target store that doesn't use security devices, so I'll be able to go there on Friday and get the set without those terrible spider security straps. Those can do damage to box sets.

re: Star Wars
Aside from the monstrosities (the darth vader NEW nooo is pretty much the only thing) is any one interested just to experience the OT in an audible and visual way like never before? I'm almost tempted, considering I just finished upgrading my audio system from "not bad" to "hellllooOOoo".

The cartoon is on there, and it's not an easter egg. It's on Disc VII under the title "Boba Fett: First Look" (8:39 Minutes)"

re: Star Wars
Mine shipped yesterday and might reach me by this evening. I took off work tomorrow just to enjoy this set. I'm a Prime member btw...funny thing is I actually placed my order the day before it shipped. Prime gets pushed to the front of the line I guess.

What is the deal with artwork on the discs? What is the point? I don't look at the discs, I look at the content on the discs. All I need is a name and the disc number.

re: Star Wars
Has anyone seen a listing for this thing on steelbook anywhere in the world?
On another note: I'm really surprised more stores aren't doing a midnight opening for the release. I would imagine Wal-mart could do really well with this one at midnight since all of its stores are open 24 hours. Best Buy's really missing the boat.

I'm not really surprised, Bluray still doesn't have near the penetration that DVD has, and concurrently, the movies are already available on DVD. Combine that with the dissatisfaction over the changes and I just don't think this is going to sell as great as LFL are hoping.

re: Star Wars
I think people over-simplify the "order" of shipping at Amazon.com. You have a bunch of distribution centers spread across the country and hundreds of people running around those warehouses filling orders given to them by a computer that only cares about keeping its promise re: the estimated delivery date.
To suggest that anyone at Amazon.com cares when you placed your order or if you're a Prime member or not is pretty absurd. As a Prime member you get better shipping by default. That's what you're paying for.

re: Star Wars
Amazon shipped mine and never emailed me. Delivery expected today but this is for the original trilogy. I won't own those other abortions. I did enjoy the last 40 minutes of Episode 3.

re: Star Wars
Same here. I checked yesterday and it said estimate delivery was the 20th, so I canceled my 6 month old pre-order and re-ordered it. Not only did I get it shipped out for tomorrow, I also got $21.87 off of it (did we pre-pay at all when we pre-ordered? I didn't think Amazon did that)

re: Star Wars
Had a whole big fiasco with my January pre-order & Amazon modifications. In short, it's now "Shipping Soon" but a scheduled delivery date for 9/20. Really hope it ships today cause I usually get it the next day anyway. Oh well, we'll see. People that pre-ordered way in advance, be sure to check!

It's kind of funny that Episode III is the only movie in the set that is the same as the theatrical presentation. Even the wipe that was removed from the DVD release has been restored.
