King of the Road Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Completely agree. I unashamedly bought the 15 disk LotR Extended Edition Blu-Ray collection even though I already owned the three theatrical versions. The amount of behind-the-scenes material is absolutely astounding. I like what GoT has done so far (the Histories and Lore being an excellent idea), but I wish we got more stuff like the making of weapons, armour, props and sets, filming on different locations, and the art/sketches/plans for everything. I really like this kind of stuff, and it always makes me appreciate the attention to detail that is put in. Yeah, what struck me when I got the Season 2 Blu-Ray was the detail in Catelyn's costume during her parley with Renly and Stannis. I'd love to see how they make costumes like that, and I'm honestly surprised that we haven't yet seen anything from HBO regarding this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boojam Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 boojam, They skip episods. S1 disc 4 (7-9) is only Martin's 8. For season 2 if one episode did not have one another will have 2. IIRC S2 disc 1 ep. 1 no commentary and 3 has 2. It is odd though agree. Yes , and I may be misremembering, seems some of the 'extras' that HBO shows during a season don't always make it to the DVDs either. I think there was a nice interview with Ramin Djawadi on YouTube that would have made a nice addition to the special edition sets. Still wondering about Blooper Reels, have there been any?

Draco_Dracul Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I'm really glad the History and Lore is coming back. That was my favorite feature from the season 2 blue ray. I'm getting the Stark case, because standard cover doesn't wow me and I'm an unashamed Stark fanboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clariana Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I'm in the UK any idea where I could get one of the special packaging editions from? Amazon have the standard one and the very expensive "Special Edition" for an exorbitant £70! But I would like one in between, Lannister say...

Tyrion1991 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Why bring out more special features on the North as a whole? We already got the general gist from season 1 previews and I don't think Jons perspective on the North would differ from his brother or that it would provide insight into his back-story. Some of those features sound very repetitive if whats been done before. I'd much rather have Ian Glen talk about Bear Island, the She Bears and why he got exiled first time around. I mean if they gave the Hound his own little character history bio I don't see why Jorah can't talk about one of the more interesting parts of the North.

WTFSalami Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Is the Best Buy blu-ray pre-order sale going to get lower? I've bought the past 2 seasons for $29.99 and see that this one only went on sale for $39.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping Jorah talked about this battle in the show but its so much better as a Histories and Lore video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jslay427 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I have a feeling the House Bolton one is going to be amazing. The guy who plays Roose might just be the most spot in character they cast, along with Charles Dance of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archmaester Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Got mine today - not sure if this was ever noticed or revealed before release but it turns out that the dragon shadow is actually part of a clear plastic sleeve which you can remove, leaving just the cream case with the three swords symbol. The effect is pretty cool, and makes me appreciate the cover much more than I did before. However it's a bit of a shame that the outer plastic sleeve is held together just by glue, and seems like it could easily come apart. Still, a nice unexpected suprise before I even open the case!

Queen of Whores Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 It came in earlier than expected here, so I was able to get it given to me for my birthday. Pretty good timing, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
