Interstellar (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) (HDzeta Exclusive) [China]
- Thread starter NewOrder
- Start date
That´s perfectly enough, it´s ok with me. Same as the last year´s release Mad Max B&C 4K it was also only one great fat package and it still one of my best last year, both lentis are excellent. I believe this is gonna be similar case, I only hope I will manage to grab it ffrom the website, but Im gonna watch the GB as well to be safe.
LOL, I guess you have some negative experience with scalpers
Zero negative experiences: after all, they're my threads of hope in desperate situations. But every re-release like this one means one desperate situation less.
I have
I know this is off topic, but I can’t always attend a GB. Not every GB is announced days ahead, right?! or the GB is soooooo limited (remember Dunkirk?) If I missed out and can get the item on eBay (and yes I need to pay more) I still can get the item.
Happy experience for me and still collected a rare item.
It does not happen that often, but it does happen.
You can always get a "happy" experience by paying scalpers extortionate amounts.I have

Well I did say "among other things", I should have worded it better. Of course great editions are great editions, regardless of print runs.I consider myself a collector too, but this definition leads me to believe that I'm not a good example....because I'm attracted to great editions, regardless of the number produced. I collect movies, not numbers.
Is that always the case that lower print runs are always more expensive? I'm really not sure if that's always the case, maybe it is. Surely not all those that collect rare items (steelbooks, or whatever) are all boasters, I don't think that's right. At least some of them probably keep it to themselves most of the time, if not always.
Are those mutually exclusive? Why can't one enjoy a great edition having great content? And how is that being a scalper if you do?
This is not always the case.
But I think this discussion never ends.....just like 3D and 4K
Maybe I was just offended by the “fact” that by supporting low print runs you are also marked as a scalper.
Fair enoughThis is not always the case.

nice no-effort cash grab 
at least they messed it up a little by adding their pointless trademark folder which makes every release unnecessarily bulky

I was talking about the philosophy of that approach. To illustrate it better, I could reply with a question:
(Apart from the resale value), why would one feel better for owning 1/300 vs. owning 1/3.000? In the end, you still have "1."
The content and the rarity? They're not, but that's wasn't my point. For me, the former is relevant (and crucial), the latter is not (on the contrary: it's only more difficult to obtain).
It wasn't me who claimed that, not today, nor earlier in the Wind River thread. I said that re-releases like these hurt their (scalpers') business.
@PracticingPat It's fine with me if you want to use the term "scalper" loosely. So you have a beef with anyone selling steelbooks for a sizeable profit, here's an easy solution to that problem, don't buy them! I'm done with the off topic for now.
