Schindler's List "broken plexiglass case" thread - (1 Viewer)

My case is cracked. The guy who I get my DVDs from got a whole shipment of damaged cases, half of which the cases were smashed.

Maybe we should change the content of this thread to those who received the SE set by mail and receive the case unbroken!

Maybe this is the most fragile case ever made. I´m sure Universal will receive tons of complaints.

 

[Bob clamer]

Good idea. Maybe a new thread should be started on this subject. I just ordered mine from Amazon.com because Best Buy changed their price from $55.99 to $59.99 :frowning: within a day. Amazon was only $55.99. Hope it does not come broken and if it does, back it goes. How many people got the set unbroken? Show of hands?

Hmm...I didn't know this was a problem. I guess I'm lucky to receive a copy in good condition.

Anyways, just for those who are interested, I took some pictures for the people over at IGN boards but thought that I'll share it here with those that are still on the fence on whether they want to pick this up or not.

My Best Buy broke release date yesterday and had only the gift set out. I snatched one up and made sure it had no cracks.

I will be first in line to tell you countless stories about the unfathomable idiocy of my employer, the United States Postal Service.
"well packed and padded items" however, are not likely to be damaged.

Maybe the cases are supposed to crack and break to searve as a metaphor or something like that.?

Tom,

Thanks for all the great pics!

Two swedish dealers have stopped selling this edition because almost every consumer has received a broken case and it´s to expensive and difficult to replace them.

I checked out our copies at Target today and they were all in perfect condition. We got about five copies of the deluxe set, and the box had "slots" in the styrofoam for about 15-20. In any case, they were well-protected. I can't imagine the sets being damaged the way Universal has packaged them. I imagine the problem is coming up when they're taking out of the initial shipping box and sent out individually to online consumers. I wouldn't worry about the condition of these sets in stores on Tuesday.

I'll be triple checking to make sure mine isn't broken when I pick it up Tuesday. My roomate is already giving me crap for spending $60 on this. This coming from the guy who has spent hundreds of dollars getting every edition of Star Wars on VHS as well as bootleg DVDs. Moron!

Hopefully Lions Gate will learn from this and not allow an SE versions on the upcoming DVD release of Shattered Glass to be released in a glass case.

Received my copy from Amazon.com yesterday and low and behold, it was broken. Back it went today.
