I’m probably reading way too much into this, but I was over at blu-ray.com just now and noticed the “best deals” at the top of the page has the complete saga set listed for $58.49. That’s the lowest I can remember any retailer selling it for in quite a long time, maybe ever.
We’re less than three weeks away from this celebration panel. If an announcement is imminent, maybe they’re trying to clear out inventory before people stop buying it altogether and start saving their money for the new set?
Yeah. I think I paid $60-70 during the after Christmas sales when it was first released. But since then most sales have been around $80. Best Buy has also discounted it to $73, which is pretty low.
I got the entire set from an ebay buyer for around 35 dollars and it was brand new and sealed.
If the Darth Vader on the slip cover has any space above his head, it’s a bootleg. Little FYI because eBay is FLOODED with bootleg Star Wars DVDs and Blu Rays
Using this new rule of thumb I think I now can already distinguish fake from real:
