Nope. If you mean me your dead wrong pal. Calling people Gatekeepers, salty and bitter and then suggesting that's because because others now get the chance to buy this trilogy is slightly obtuse, dead wrong and pretty rude if you ask me.
On all of my posts on this topic, I never ONCE mentioned being p*ssed off because of investment or financial gain. I don't resell anything and never have. If I sell anything at all it's due to damage or missing out myself. Most of my 300+ (that's small relative to others) collection is completely second hand aftermarket and entirely purchased from eBay. I started collecting again in 2021. In fact I can give you my eBay ID and you can see how transparent my very very few sales are. I even go so far as listing items as cheapest on eBay because I utterly loath scalpers, liars and rip off resellers. I'm also an open collector and watch every single film I buy.
Yet you dive right in on that flimsy excuse of..boo hoo, we're p*ssed off due to perceived loss of investment.
You don't get what the problem is?
Read the comments, it's because of Arrow mate...not anything you're suggesting.
Arrow lying over marketing, reissuing a limited edition (albeit different format) with an exclusive meant for their original set and throwing falsehoods out to ALL collectors, not just people who managed to get the trilogy originally. All of us, whether you bought them a second time or not. They lied. Now selling these for the third time but reverting back to a limited format again. At least I now know they'll do it again. Liars always lie in any walk of life.
That's fairly clear in all my comments.
Perhaps I'm too naive or trusting but I won't buy into the limited or exclusive tags anymore because they invariably turn out false.
Looking at you Warner Bros Lord of the Rings
So no. Not gatekeeping at all.
I'm happy for you. You also realise no one complained at all when the standards were released? That's because collectors WANT other collectors to have the chance to own themselves masterpieces in any format.
If I mentioned money at all it was to compare the New cost to the Original costs of the trilogy and it's now £35 cheaper than original at retail.
Not anything to do at all with what you're suggesting.
Reading others comments I don't think anyone else mentioned those things either
@choochoonesme.
And yes. I bought these in the original limited edition sets because they're some of my favourite Westerns and I wanted to own them in a limited format.
Go back and view my comments on almost all other Western steelbook and 4k releases and you'll find me commenting on every single one as I'm a massive western fan.
You've been on this forum three years longer than me and have a small percentage of engagement or posting. I'd argue that most of everyone on here are huge fans of the movies that get released and do watch the things they buy, some won't, I grant you that but I'd expect that they're a small percentage. Especially those who engage in commenting on here.
Unfair comment brother, especially on a forum full of hardcore collectors that are 95% unlikely to ever sell there collection.
