For a 20th anniversary release of a film that appeared during the video days, you're probably 'tripling up' and buying Heathers yet again, this time on a new format (or perhaps the second or third try on DVD). Give credit to Anchor Bay, as their job is to dig up more and more extras, create a gimmicky package, and throw in...some stuff and sell you one of your favorites yet again.

And they do a very good job of it. I found this quite reduced as a promo, though I might hesitate to pay full retail on what is still a pretty neat release of the cult high school film.

Similar to other impressive releases like the Blade Runner 'lock of Harrison Ford's hair' box set release last year, this one gives you a...box, for the box-set, a fully immersed Heathers locker that includes a free t-shirt, a magnet set, a booklet of pictures and commentary, and a mock-albegra book. Oh yeah, and the movie Heathers. Best selling point? You get the 'plain 'ol' DVD, plus the Blu-Ray release, plus a disc of extras, some of which you may know from previous releases, and some of them quite new (commentary).

You know, what else? Why not a replica pistol like J.D. had? Or perhaps a fake bomb? But safe to write, you won't be buying the Heathers DVD locker set thingee by accident. Definitely recommended for the fanatic, made with the fanatic in mind, and yes, they can fit all that stuff in the relatively small locker (plus, you get another storage box for...more Blade Runner stuff). Big Fun.

I absolutely LOVE this movie. The limited edition set was a great concept, capturing the overall school-themed feeling of the film. The set includes: a T-shirt, tin locker, magnets, 2 dvd's, and the Blu-ray release of the film. The case for the T-shirt is made to look like an old algebra book, while the case for the DVDs is a hard back yearbook with photos and signatures in the back, making it extremely authentic looking.

I was a bit disappointed at the quality of the locker itself. I have another metal locker that I purchased a few years ago, and I figured the quality would be about the same, but it wasn't. The metal that the locker is constructed of is like that of a tin lunch box, had it been die-cast metal, then it would have been without flaws. I was lucky enough to purchase this set on sale for $45.99, I think it is worth just that. Any fan of the Heathers film will be pleased with this set.

Likely you've already seen this excellent film starring Christian Slater and Winona Ryder. It's a contemporary cult classic and for good reason.

Therefore, I'll give you some info on this limited edition release :

This limited edition comes from Anchor Bay Entertainment and is packaged as a blue metal locker. Inside the locker is a bunch of very cool stuff. First, a cool t-shirt. There are three possible shirts which you might get, but you only get one. Secondly, there are a set of magnets which can be used to decorate the locker. Not outstanding, but kind of neat, none the less. You also get a year-book, featuring info and photos from the film.

What is not made clear though - is that you get your standard wide screen DVD version, you also get a BLU-RAY version of the movie. Look closely at the picture of the back of the packaging. See that there are three discs displayed? One is a Blu-Ray. Yipee!

Oh, and each locker is a numbered limited edition.

Exact Description of Contents : The Limited Edition Locker Set contains: a numbered locker, a 20-page hardcover Heathers yearbook, an 'awesome' T-shirt, 14 locker/fridge magnets, a collectable Westerburg algebra book, the BluRay Disc and two DVDs. Those DVDs will present the film in an anamorphic 1.85:1 transfer with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and contain the features highlighted above in addition to an original ending screenplay excerpt accessible from DVD-ROM.

This is a great collectible, well worth the price.
