For some dumb reason I kept the packaging for the Office Space Extra Flair Edition DVD until I was forced to move in 2012. Who knows where that refrigerator magnet and red stapler are now.

The only acceptable gimmick editions are the Evil Dead Necronomicon editions and the Phantasm set where the discs are in a replica silver sphere.

It doesn't disrupt a collection if you just want to own The Search for Spock, but when you have the whole set it's awesome! The early 2000's Iron Maiden and Judas Priest remasters did similar.

I think that the standard 5 disc blade runner set is actually worth more than the briefcase. IIRC, the resale for that 5 disc blu-ray was $135 at its lowest. also how can anyone forget this one  or this

McSpanky posted:This reminds me of a post on reddit where someone kicked his six year old daughter upstairs to the attic so he could convert her bedroom to a "display room" for his ever-growing collection of nerd tchotchkes. One of the regulars at the comic book store I go to had to build an addition onto his house when his wife was having a kid because he didn't want to give up his room of nerd crap. RichterIX posted:I wanted the Blade Runner briefcase so bad and now I hate it because I can't bring myself to throw it away and I doubt it's worth anything but I just keep bringing it with me when I move. I got that thing way back when because it was the only way to get the five disc DVD set which has the workprint version and a bunch more extras that I still haven't watched. King Vidiot posted:The only acceptable gimmick editions are the Evil Dead Necronomicon editions and the Phantasm set where the discs are in a replica silver sphere. At least with those Evil Dead ones they can fit on the shelf with normal cases instead of them putting the discs in a big plastic chainsaw. All this crap is just something that's cool for like five minutes.

I guarantee that his nerd poo poo is stacked against all the walls of that house. As a nerd, poo poo like this is why I hate other nerds. I think it's OK to have a display shelf, or a few small/med things that are meaningful to you, but when you get to that level, it's just garbage. It's not even conversational garbage, it's the kind of poo poo that makes people want to not go over to your house a second time.

I thought about buying the briefcase Blade Runner dvd back in the day. But I was working retail at the time so I ended up just getting the special edition dvd set with the different cuts. It's now been replaced by the 4K set. The only oversized packages I have are the Shout! Herzog collection and the new Monty Python Blu-ray set, which was damaged in shipping because it was designed badly.

Granted it's for other reasons mainly, but the dumb poo poo we're talking about is a notable side effect. Casimir Radon posted:I thought about buying the briefcase Blade Runner dvd back in the day.

I did buy a few game special editions. Bioshock 2 is kind of a regret because it came in a huge box to accommodate a soundtrack on vinyl. More than a decade on I still don't have a turntable. The first movies I really bought for myself with the money from an actual job were Blade Runner, and Bubba Hotep (With the Elvis jumpsuit slipcover thing). Both are good things but they certainly reek of mid-2000s nerd culture. My tastes have expanded since then. Casimir Radon fucked around with this message at 19:47 on Feb 14, 2020 |

I bought the giant stupid version of Halo 3 that came with a nearly life-sized Master Chief helmet because I was a dumb child who thought it was cool. 13 years later it’s just up in my attic collecting dust. I think the only giant novelty boxset I have now is the Futurama complete series that had new cover art and slimmer packaging. It came in a giant box where the seasons were stacked sideways for some reason, so I just stuck those on the shelf and tossed the box in a closet. If your giant novelty display case isn’t a 1:1 Bender head then why bother?

I have mine tucked on top of my other criterions, which isn’t ideal, but I just love the set so much just for existing that I can forgive the slight storage inconvenience.

I watched a few minutes of the workprint version on the DVD and from the looks of it the source material wasn't all that great so the blu-ray presentation of it probably isn't worth going out of my way for. When I upgraded to blu-ray I just the single disc Final Cut because I saw it in a five dollar bin and that's goodenough for me. caligulamprey posted:I still want the Blade Runner briefcase.

IMO, outside of Criterion Scanavo cases, I really love the way a lot of limited editions are packaged lately with a thick board slipcase, the discs in a regular plastic case (or Criterion case for Indicator), plus a perfect bound book and other goodies. Some have digipaks, too, like the UK 4-disc Blade Runner UHD set I imported.

Was there ever a release of Blade Runner 2049 anywhere in the world that had a lot special features? The US disc has the three short films and a trailer and that's it. I know the movie wasn't very profitable in the theatre, so the studio wasn't going to spend any more money on a bunch of in depth featurettes, but man does it ever need the multi disc treatment.
