So any one else out there into collecting these types of sets or am i the only one

First of all, welcome to the forum!

I only have a few collector's editions with additional goodies I own. From the top of my head these are:

King Kong with Kong statue
Dark Knight with bat-bake replica
Blade Runner in the briefcase
Forbiudden Planet tin with Robbi
The Incredibles with Dash doll (pre-order in Taiwan 7-11!)

I am currently considering to get the Terminator head with the T2 Blu-ray and possibly the Amazon exclusive Night Owl ship with Watchmen.

thanks for the welcome....
Yeah i was going to get the king kong set but i wasnt that imressed with photos that i saw of the statue...

Ones on my definite wish list and i will get adventually...are
Silver surfer with statue limited to 1000 pcs
Nightmare before christmas with jack bust
Iron man with mini iron man bust
T2 with endo skeleton
dark knight with batbike and the other relase with the joker mask head knocker. maybe the batman mask one aswell.. lol


there are some pretty crazy japan only releases out there with full size figures and stuff but these cost alot to get

I don't have that many, basically just the LOTR set:



and the Sonny head from I, Robot

Welcome to the forum!

I have several releases that are numbered limited editions... but the only set I have that came with anything (statues) is...


The Monsters Legacy Gift Set

I have the same Universal set as Pete, the LotR sets, Ang Lee's Hulk in a box with a green fist, a region 3 edition of Dances With Wolves in a soft leather binder with a feather and finally, a region 3 Band of Brothers in an army satchel complete with dog tags!

I don't have any sets that came with any extra goodies.  I was tempted by the Lord of the Rings sets, but I didn't get them.  I do have the extended cut versions of the movies.

:stars:Have a look at my overdraft for others

Click on the "etailer" link in my sig, for a list of a few online retailers, for some really nicely packaged sets the R3 Korea and R2 Japan sets are worth a look (YesAsia, Sensasian, HKFlix especially).
As I'm sure you're aware EZYDVD does some nice R4 tins

Hi everyone!  Back in the earlier days of the format I went for a lot of the 2-disk SE's, especially the Anchor Bay types with the tins and such, but I was always looking for content, not extra collectibles.  I generally just couldn't afford them.  Of course, like everyone I bought the LOTR Collectible boxes though!  I really wish I had the Aliens set with the plastic head though.  THAT was something 

If I wouldn't already have 3 seasons...

I will definately be adding this one to my collection. Comes out June 8th. I'm thinking it would make a great Father's Day present from one of the kids. 



I pity the fool that doesn't get this box set 

How unrealistic! How can B.A. watch out of the side window and the front window at the same time?

And most of the time, Face sat on the co-driver's seat, not Hannibal.









 

Only thing really interesting is this




I also have Tenchi Muyo Ryo-oki in a tin

Other then the above set I showed... I do have some nice Complete TV Series Boxsets... some fancy cases some not so much but the sets impressed me...



Nothing special came with this set... though I understand the earlier releases of it included a nice book about the Twilight Zone. But it has all 5 seasons, really good quality and a very nice selection of extras.




Basically it is a repackaging of the season set discs... but also comes with a bonus disc with the reunion movies (A Very Brady Christmas & Brady 500) plus a couple of the cartoons (The Brady Kids).



This is one I am still working my way through (I am currently in the early part of season 2). I believe these are also just the season set discs packaged together. Plus a bonus disc.



This is the latest complete series that I got. All 3 seasons of this show I used to watch when I was a little kid. Unfortunately the only extra feature is a sneak peek at the movie version with Will Ferrel.


On this one.. the outside of the cover looks pretty cool... but I don't like how the discs are in this case! Extras wise... just a handful of interviews... one for each episode. It says first season... but it is the only season so is still a complete series set.

And that pretty much covers any cool series packages/sets that I have in my collection.
