I could get a kidney transplant in the black market for the price Amazon Japan charge for certain blurays. It's ridiculous ...

Yeah it's always been like that though. They are quality but they are always far too expensive.

 

[tristar6]

amazon JP is expensive but most times sell out then if you want them they are big bucks on the bay.

the last exclusive was Fury which is hard to get..but even the martian sold out! so i doubt this will!
if they had used a slip like Fury it would have been another story, but so...pricedrop 40% end of the year ^^

FAC is the one to get when it comes to this film ... the slips look gorgeous. Steelbook ain't too shabby either. Nice bossing on it.

Heard back from Amazon, confirmed as suspected:

Thank you for writing to Amazon.co.jp.

The only difference is that an original clear sticker comes with "【Amazon.co.jp限定】ボーダーライン スチールブック仕様・日本オリジナルデザイン (数量限定生産)(オリジナルクリアステッカー付き) [Blu-ray]" Other product specification is the exactly same.

I hope this information has been helpful.If you have any questions, please let us know.

That's frickin RIDICULOUS

Next there will be a thicker shrink wrap version an extra 1000.

Stickers must be quite a thing in the Japanese marketplace for a 1000+ yen increase just for one. Hopefully the pre-orders will be lackluster and the price will be more down to earth.

 

[AlienKing]

Awesome, thanks @Apollon for taking the time

The one without sticker is no longer available from Amazon but from third party sellers.

The one without sticker is no longer available from Amazon but from third party sellers.

But it is the "less special" one - and yet, now cost more than the "special one" with the "special" sticker.
Hmmmm....
