I would not pay $300 for this box set. That chainsaw is like a plastic toy that you would buy at Toys "R" Us for $50. You can buy a 3-disc 4K amaray with o-ring slip on Black Friday for $15 - and maybe $20 for the VHS replica? And another $15 for the box? $100 would be a more reasonable price for this box set. There simply aren't enough goodies. There's no booklet, no cards, no poster, no mask, no apron, etc.
 
I'd get it in a VHS style box, like ESC in France are making.
It's what this Dark SkiesWindWhatever company should've done, and 6 times cheaper.
But I'm excited to see what they make for the two earlier Tie West movies - The Innkeepers and House of the Devil.
