You guys forget how much of a special case Star Wars is. The dvds for things like Droids and the Ewok films go for hundreds of dollars on the second hand market.
A boxset packed with special features for the OUT? They could and probably would set the price in the hundreds.
Yeah but before those went out of print I was seeing them in the $5 bin at Walmart.
I got the initial Blu-ray release day one at Target for $70. Doubt a set with less movies would go for more (even if we knew it was better). 4K would change things, but not that much.
Right. None of these things are expensive until they’re out of print. Also, studios don’t really price things in terms of how great the movie is. They don’t think in terms of, “this is a great movie so we can raise the price on it”. The only example of a really high priced home media release was the Wonder Years dvds recently, but that’s because they had to pay for close to 300 songs in order to put that together, but even after a few months they started selling it for a reasonable price.
