Definitely must have titles those!

Big fan of Lawrence of Arabia.

Very nice, going to wait for the next release (that comes together with the Hobbit)

Yep I can wait.

Also waiting for the complete HP collection (bound to be some changes with the complete UEs)

That transformer collection looks decent as well.

Hey Andrewtst, how did you find Human Planet? Found time to watch the whole series yet?

Thanks. Just ordered it with a few other documentaries.

Most animation is must own.

It will be the ultimate versions, the ones being released in Oct.

Plus, the LE is limited and numbered. So, might not be around that long.

Haven't they planned a 5th movie too? And a 6th?

I'll wait.

Andrew, how much did you get Rango for on ebay?

Rango is too new to NOT have a slipcover. So you shouldn't worry

If for example you receive any new title without a slipcover (provided it should have a slipcover). Merely contact Amazon customer support and they will fix the problem. The only disc recently that had slipcover issues in the beginning was Summer Wars. The first press was only sent to one fulfillment center, the others just received 2nd prints. So only people in a certain area received their disc with slipcovers.

But with most titles, you should be able to obtain slipcovers months after the release date. Just certain titles like Disneynature ones that stopped shipping with slipcovers 1 month after being released.

That information you'll have to obtain from the blu-ray forums. Sometimes pictures of the blu-rays (in advertisements) will provide the answers and you'll be able to see the slipcover in the picture. Sometimes a user on the forums will obtain a copy earlier and can confirm the slipcover (you'll be interested to know that blu-rays ship to Hong Kong up to 4 weeks before release and some shops there sell it to the public before release date) and sometimes it just has to do with the distributors and whether or not they make it a habit of releasing titles with slipcovers, etc. But it's tough to confirm from pictures because sometimes the distributors decide not to include a slipcover last minute. But most will be confirmed a few weeks before release.

I would advise just enjoying high definition movies and not worrying too much about packaging. Wouldn't want it to start influencing the way you buy your titles (not buying it because it doesn't come with a slipcover, purchasing it from other expensive sources just to find a slipcover, buying a different edition of a title just because the slipcover/packaging is different, etc). In the end, it's not really worth it (at least to me). It's a long and expensive road. Nowadays, I just want the movie.

Like Star Trek, Tranformers ROTF Walmart Edition, and a few others It's pretty annoying when you don't get the slipcover and there's no information on both sides of the cover art.

That's where the problem begins!

I have given all that up thank goodness Those days, I would have obtained both copies just for slipcovers.

Excellent question that. There are movies I watch over and over. But documentaries are the ones I watch the most. So I buy a ton of documentaries now.

Not sure if you have these yet but get em:-

Earth: The Biography
How the Earth Changed History
Wild Pacific
Wonders of the Solar System
Madagascar
Wonders Of The Universe
The Great Rift: Africa's Greatest Story
Yellowstone: Battle for Life
Galapagos
Ganges
Wild China
Inside Job
Food, Inc

Discovery Atlas isn't too bad either, there's China, Italy, Australia and Brazil revealed. The rest are not released yet.

Don't bother with the complete collection. It's incomplete and cut short by almost 20-30 minutes.

The BBC Natural History Collection differs in content if the US/UK versions are compared. Really weird that.

I'd also suggest:-

Disneynature Earth
Disneynature Oceans
Disneynature The Crimson Wing
Nature's Most Amazing Events (I think that's in your BBC NH collection)
National Geographic's Great Migrations

Hmmm, that's the problem once you start looking for slipcovers. You end up sacrificing because you can't find the piece of cardboard

Also Disneynature African Cats will be released in October. Don't forget to pre-order if you want the slipcover. Those slipcovers generally don't last too long after release.

Where from? Amazon? Earth is a pretty old title. Slipcover doesn't come by that easy. and Oceans too.
