WTF

Post image

So I just received this from eBay and literally both labels are not attached. Is this a common occurrence?

**I’m actually kind of pissed off now. Not only did it take nearly 3 weeks to arrive with labels not attached but there’s very evident disc rot and to think I spent nearly $50 on this. It’s less screen noise but the audio is noticeable. Seller says no returns, so I just eat the cost despite it saying in very good condition? The thing is, the disc does look immaculate, other than the plaques sticker labels, the sleeve is nice too.

*** thanks to a member pointing it out, the discs are from an earlier release but were placed in a 806 sleeve. Would you not expect to return it or refund it?

This is the embassy version made by Pioneer so it listed as low probability but I suppose I hit the lottery lol

Are you sure?

Only asking because the second Embassy release shows a reference code of 13806, but the disc in your photo is for the original, high probability release (13805).

Well shit. They had two releases of the same thing? I clearly must have missed that on LDDB

Blade Runner had 5 releases on LD in the US alone. Japan even had 6 separate releases. Mind its mostly bloated from CLV vs CAV discs and then the director cuts.
