More guff for people with more money than brain cells. They might as well fill the box with pigeon shit, the idiots who buy this crap never open the box anyway...
I bought one :D And yes, I do not even like the new Barcelona version or the tshirt or the prints, but I just had to get it. Limited to 200 copies.. that is nothing in the Queen world. See it as an investment :) Similar to the Absolute Greatest box which was limited to 100 pcs. I missed out on that one, but it appears to sell for quite a lot these days.
Not that I will ever sell this Barcelona box, but at least I have some sort of motivation to buy it.
And I guess that the price is high because of the high quality prints that are included in the box and the low run of the 7" adds up to it as well..?
Forget my comment about the 7" which might drive up the price, as I recently bought a 7" from an unknown group which was also limited to 200 copies and that was just a 5-er.
I love boxsets, and I don't mind spending money on rebuying stuff I already purchased - but 200 pounds for an LP I already have, some prints which I don't care for and a 7" I would like to have is a bit too much for me. I'd rather spend 280 euros on the Beatles vinyl box. Which I did.
"I bought one :D And yes, I do not even like the new Barcelona version or the tshirt or the prints, but I just had to get it"
As I have said a million times before... the exact reason we get reissue after reissue. Its only when fans stop blindly buying every piece of crap that we may get something we actually want.....

I believe the correct English term to use in this case would be "Nutter"!!!! ;-) LOL
