Hello everyone!
This review is about the New Police Story LE, a nice boxed set that has a limited run of 5000 copies.
First thing you notice when you pull the package out of
the shipping box (Thanks DVDetective!) is the actual case of the box.
A stiff, translucent box houses the contents of the LE, which include a
DVD snapper with 2 DVDs housed inside a slip case, a mini-calendar, a
mini-notepad, a metal stand and a miniature .38 revolver.
The box is sturdy, with a black plastic handle on the top.
The text is placed on the plastic in silver.
Taking out all the contents,
it's nice to see that they packaged the gun and stand in bubblewrap. Although
the gun might not have done any damage if shipped loose, the stand is heavy and
could have scratched/torn some of the contents. As you can see, it comes with the
following;

The gun and stand are made of metal, and are both very nice. The stand is solid, heavy, with a faceplate attached to it by two screws. I've included a detailed shot of the faceplate so you can get an idea of the craftmanship. The gun rests on a small metal plate, and there is a metal bar on the stand that allows you to lean the disc there. Please note that in my image I have the metal support for the gun upside down. When installed properly, there is a notch for the gun barrel to rest in. There is also a small clip at the end of a 4 inch or so bendable wire. If anyone can tell me what this is for, I'll post it here.

Overall, this is a really nice LE for the price. The stand really adds a nice touch, and people have already commented on it when they've visited our place. It'd be great if more DVD LE's came with a stand of some sort! Even though in the picture above, I have the mini-calendar on the stand, that was only for the shot of the contents. I now have the DVD case sitting there (on the stand) instead.
- Juice's Verdict -
- Build Quality: 8 -
The plastic box is well constructed, and the
nicely built extras such as the metal baseplate all work together to give this set a goodl build
quality rating.
- Content and Extras: 8 -
We actually get a bunch of good stuff in this LE,
as mentioned above a calendar, notepad, a nice metal stand with a miniature revolver, and the LE
information sheet. Nothing spectacular, but a solid amount of cool extras that look great when
displayed.
