Among those "Limited Edition", not box set with number, the fastest out of stock in my case, I think is UK's Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Double Play - Limited Edition Steelbook [Blu-ray]. Out of stock within 2 to 3 days after release date. Now, third party sale new one for £49.97. When I pre-order it, the price only £14.46. This title got good investment value. hmm.gif

For those who brought barebone edition of Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) (2011), here is Amazon replied regarding $10 off for future Blu-ray 3D combo:

Sorry tongue.gif , have to quote myself.

Amazon's replied:

Hello,

Thanks for writing back to us with the requested information.

I've applied the $10 discount code on your account, which you can use the next time you order for Blu-ray 3D items shipped and sold by Amazon.com. Note: the promotional certificate doesn't apply to items offered by other sellers on our website.

The claim code will be no longer valid.

We hope you to see you again.
Great blush.gif Have to double dip Transformer. Or do their mean any Blu-ray 3D? tongue.gif or Any Blu-ray 2D also can. blink.gif

If they listen, they already withdraw i-parcel long long time ago. Everywhere is complaining i-parcel services, simply google can get a lot of result on how bad i-parcel services are.

I try my best using priority courier as possible, I hate to wait for that long, beside this priority courier must care on the set, it normally arrived in safe & great condition. I also notice it seems more love on given i-parcel for bigger set.

I had a feeling number means nothing, I got my The Ten Commandments set and it was 4,444 out of 100,000 but it so fast no longer selling by Amazon itself anymore until now. It seems it only last longer at Amazon few weeks, or maybe just only a month.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Blu-ray collection by NoblePink, on Flickr

Finally collect all 6 volumes for the series. The price is getting higher and higher no thanks to the rising yen. rclxub.gif

Story wise this is not your typical magical girl anime, it's more to a horror/ betrayal kind of plot. Its animation studio is notoriously known for changing/ fixing scenes/ animations in their disc releases so you can see lots of changes compared to the TV version. The BD releases include 3 OST CDs composed by Kajiura Yuki as well as 3 drama CDs.

Really love the outer cover designs for the discs. wub.gif

Around RM230 ish when I bought the first volume, but got more and more expensive as Yen rises against the Ringgit. The final volume cost me almost RM260.

pls consider visual impaired people, or in other words, blind people deserve to be entertained by the world of movie. They rely on English Audio Description and the sound from the movie itself to "fully" enjoy it.

E.A.D. is similar to Audiobook
