@johnathanrue7547
@johnathanrue7547 Год назад
I think you’re far too critical about this collection. I think its outstanding overall. The shadow box alone is worth $80-120 from anyone that does that kind of work especially with lighting and sound. Could it be a little cheaper? Yes. More around the $149 mark would be better but there’s quite a bit included in the package. The art book, superb, the steel book, superb, the clam shell cases and covers, superb, the small game case display, also superb. What else are u really wanting in this? A $300 statue or something? To each their own but I think the collection is a great little haul for a castlevania fan. Not much else u could expect in exchange. Maybe a glass set or diorama cube or something but it’s respectable as packaged. Just my 2 cents.
@Dongled
@Dongled Год назад
The shadow box should've had the NES version of Bloody Tears. Why they went with the FDS version is beyond me, especially since that version of the game isn't even included in the collection! Steelbooks and the cases/covers and posters is all pretty lackluster stuff. The book for sure was superb but the rest? Forgettable. If you're happy with it, I'm happy for you, but I think the set should've just been the book, the mini soundtrack, a single poster and the shadowbox and it would've been fine at $125-139.

I like the set. 😁 I'm trying to understand the disappointment. 🤔 True it seems to have a lot of useless stuff in there. Which is why I passed on it to get the game only. But overall it seems like a pretty neat set. I would get a kick out of it, but that's just me I guess. The miniature boxes are a little smaller than I expected.
@Linkman247
@Linkman247 2 года назад
I picked up this set. Im not too bothered by the music for the shadowbox. I do agree that the mini box collection is kind of stupid. I think they could have done something else. The artbook, shadowbox, sountrack cd, and game with steelbook is largely why i picked it up. The pin is nice. But when you consider the game is what $40? The other elements have to make up for it. The art cards could have been more impressive. Some foil or other treatments would have made them feel more premium at least.

Not a bad collection but I'll say certainly not their best. Haven't had the urge to buy anything from them recently. River City Girls 2 will probably be the only thing, but for a big fan you can't deny that shadowbox is great! Did need a better version of bloody Tears for sure lol.
@DoYouNerd
@DoYouNerd 2 года назад
Well, the presentation of the shadowbox is pretty great even if they could've done much better with the music chosen. Definitely enjoy seeing a physical book too; stuff like that just isn't the same digitally. I won't lie, Lady Laci loves miniatures, so the mini-boxes actually win her over. Stuff like that works in my favor sometimes with these bigger sets. ha ha Samplers aren't too bad; if you've got the soundtrack, yeah, they're semi-useless, but they are perfect to lure people into the music world of games. Like audio demos selling the full product...unless people just have no class and don't appreciate good music. lol
@Dongled
@Dongled 2 года назад
I guess I just didn't realize how tiny and blurry they would be (regarding the boxes.) The samplers are fine for someone who's looking for a taste but the Black and Red sets I have from earlier this year blow it out of the water.
