As you might remember, I've bought this set from Amazon Italy a couple of months ago, after I had been looking to find this set for a good price for months. I was kind of in the same situation. First I didn't have any plans to buy it, but then I saw those unboxings and regretted not getting it. I just needed to have it, but it was already out-of-print and only available from sellers who were selling it for more than 100 Euro. Then it was suddenly on sale on Amazon Italy, so I didn't hesitate for a single second and immediately bought it. In the comments to one of your videos I told you about it and I remember you telling me about owning the Blu-ray set and not having any plans to buy this 4k Blu-ray set. So, I was surprised when I just visited KZitem and the first thing I saw was a video from you with a picture of this set in its thumbnail. I had absolutely no idea this set had become available again, and even for a better price than the one I paid on Amazon Italy. This is very good news for those who missed out on this set. I'm very happy for you. It's good to hear you've been able to buy such a fantastic set for such a good price. It's definitely a wonderful edition to own.

Hey Patrick I actually remember that conversation that we had and at the time I honestly thought I was never going to buy the set. I really was and still am happy with the Blu-ray set that I have. The only problem I had was when I started seeing unboxing for this release and then my opinion really started to change. It's one of those things that you want that you can't have and when I came back in stock there was no way I was going to let slip Through My Fingers again. So you can imagine how surprised I was to get it for so cheap especially when it's been out of print for a while. Normally when these things come back they're a lot more expensive. I have to admit that as soon as I got into my hands I knew it was something truly remarkable and I'm so blessed to finally have it in my collection. I was lucky this time Patrick but it's not always the case
