I never did pick up any of the films on Blu-ray due to my stance of not giving Lucasfilm my money until they released the theatrical editions. So much for that. Now I’m regretting having never picked up The Complete Saga edition mostly for all the special features and bonus documentaries they included.

I would prefer to have “The Complete Saga” edition released in 2011 in the cardboard slipbox, the one with Anakin and Luke on Tatooine as the cover art, preferably brand new and sealed in its original shrinkwrap, and of course being extra picky in very good to excellent condition. I know there’s the same edition with Darth Vader on the slipbox, and rather than the discs inserted in cardboard sleeves, it’s in an actual Blu-ray case.

I’ve been doing some digging around and there are great deal of bootleg versions of these two sets, more-so with the Darth Vader packaging. Found a couple of videos on YouTube with collectors that discuss it, as well as a great deal of discussion on the Blu-ray.com forums. Amazon no longer has either to sell directly, it’s all third party Amazon sellers, and I especially don’t trust eBay either.

If anyone knows of any reliable and credible online sellers/collectors who might have an extra copy still brand new that they wouldn’t mind parting with, I’d like to purchase a set. I’m also interested in obtaining copies of the Blu-ray Steelbooks for both the OT and prequels from 2015, and the 4K Steelbook Zavvi editions of the OT and prequels from 2020 as well.
