Ive got Star Trek Donatello and Leonardo. Not in their original package though…got them when I bought a bulk collection on a trip to Tokyo.

You have to admit the toys are pretty cool though.

Maybe you should do a TMNT column.

Holy crap! Is the “Most Popular Posts” on the right in any particular order? If so, I can’t believe this is at the top. I spend hours on Treknobabble and this stupid post about ST/TMNT (notice that Star Trek gets top billing) toys makes it to the top.

Kurt, thx for that link to the twitchfilm thread about DVD box art and packaging. I noticed the photos for the “King and the Clown” Korean packaging. Very nice indeed. If anyone wants to see photos of the HoFD set with dagger, check out the thread. That Matrix set with the ship (it’s too late for me to look up the spelling of the Nebbuquenedzar) is wackier than the NA set with the head bust of Neo.

Here is a US$300 wacky-crazy Matrix Trilogy Japanese set. oi!

I love that HoFD set. Contemplated buying that one a few times.

In terms of great DVD sets, I also really, really love the Korean Pan’s Labyrinth set which comes with a 18 carat gold key. Also the Korean “King and the Clown” which has one of the most classy packaging of a DVD that I own. I usually show it off to folks who can’t believe any company takes that kind of care when publishing a set on a film. (And the difference between those crazy Japanese sets is that the Korean ones are usually quite affordable, often less than $30…compared to Japanese sets which routinely exceed $150)

That was the ‘Buy Me Now’ price.

$32.99! That’s a steal! Is that the opening bid, or is that a buying price? Maybe we should take this conversation offline.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the reason why I brought up the DVD Collector Edition freebies was that I thought Ryan M’s idea of more toy posts (about film related toys, I would hope) was a good idea. I extrapolated without referencing the source of my freebie comment.

I don’t know why I was surprised.

Luckily, I found the entire set on ebay for 32.99.

Um… yeah, I’m serious. Did I need to answer that?

I’d like to see an article about “freebies” that come with DVD Collector Edition packages. Although Jay makes fun of this, I think the coolest freebie I have is one that came with a House of Flying Daggers wooden box set from Hong Kong (I think). It actually had a metal flying dagger! Sharp enough to kill someone with! (I guess customs didn’t bother to check. )
