Smile oh wow, this is spangly!

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,

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 was more on about the actual packaging the whole lot comes in. The highlander one was the first pic I found on google. I don't want you to waste valuable time, taking pics over the weekend dude.. much better things can be done.
