Just opened a package from cdwow, Highlander: Immortal Edition R1
It's the coolest looking boxset I've received in a while. The outer silver case is embossed aluminum ...you can feel the sword on the front, I'm gona rub it all day :p
I must admit I'm a suckor for nice looking boxsets. It's not just the films I'm interested in. I'll even admit to buying one version or a different region, over another version, if the packaging is nice and spangly
what nice looking boxsets have you guys got :)

I like my Terminator 2 special edition with the nifty alluminum case.
The lord of the rings special editions have nice little boxes with cool pictures.
Meet the feebles has a picture of a frog with a gun to it's head. Kinda hard to beat that,

My Fair Lady - includes gold soundtrack CD, hardcover book, piece of film.
Hellraiser - hand signed Clive Barker script
Phantasm - hand signed pictures of director and star - gold soundtrack CD
Nightmare before xmas - hardcover 'making of' book - + extras
Jaws - Soft cover book, cd soundtrack
terminator 2 - 2 different versions - one is 'leatherbound'
there are about 20 more but those are my faves that i can remember

I was gona get the T2 one, I've got the one with the same desing but it's card not metal. Can't find it in the uk, and I of manufacturing fault stories, where the keepcase had been forced into the metal cover, and the clear plastic and coverart slip being ripped to shreds down the side, so it put me off getting the R1 version.
that Total recall one looks good.

I saw an english "big bust" magazine in a store here once... i cant say that i blame you :D
Plus, who needs magazines when you have the internet? The connection cosyts money, so the porn should be free.
Urge, i suggest a system of pulleys and levers designed to obfuscate the passage of discs and vhs tapes from the car to the basement. I have a model built, but a real-world prototype would need dark matter, balsa wood, and the help of a Laplander with experince in tropical drink making. Those Laplanders are godamn hard to come by.

The wifes just don't understand the need for men to gather and collect things. The need goes back to the caveman days when we would leave the caves and gather food and such whilst the woman would stay home and clean the cave and watch TV.
It's not our fault.....just part of our DNA.
My wife can't say a thing....she has this uncontrollable need for $300 handbags.
