60% off the retail list price is a HUGE savings in my book.
That's only $8 per disc.

I know. I'm not in any hurry to buy these even though I love the series, so I can wait for the US set to go on a sale such as that instead of importing the UK set.

I have 239 movies. If those can't tide me over until then, I'm doing something wrong.

I don't think anybody would be interested in buying blu-rays without a case, and cover artwork for each individual movie, when the discs were originally packaged as a boxset, unless the buyer custom make his own cover artwork.

Of if he/she keeps them in a wallet or something.

Yes, that's an option.

Yes. They are the director's cuts with optional deleted scenes sections for Lethals 1, 2, and 3. US will be a repackage of the UK release.

Good timing.

Are overseas blu-rays discs playable on US machines? Specifically the Lethal Weapon set.
I had asked a similar question regarding Fantasia from the UK in a different thread, and was told there could be an issue IF the original source material was in PAL format.
Any insight appreciated.

yes, the lethal weapon set from the U.K. is playable on U.S. players, Warner doesn't make different discs for different regions, they just use the same discs across all regions just maybe with some different packaging. the U.K. discs will be IDENTICAL to the U.S. boxset coming out.

Do you have any in your collection that you've never watched?

As far as watching the copy I own, yes, I have several that are unwatched. As far as movies I haven't seen period, that would be two.

Blu-ray forum also confirms that Lethal Weapon 3 & 4 will also be released separately on that day. Is that true?

Well you have to remember there are a lot of people that do not order online. Also most Americans are not even aware that they can easily import form amazon.co.uk.

People on this site are obviously aware. But the general public isn't so they are pricing for the majority and not the minority (us). They will make as much money as the public will give them lol

I'd like to know the same, will they be directors cuts at all? the DC of the original was amazing in my opinion...

No! Lethal Weapon 1-3 are the theatrical versions in the boxset. The deleted scenes that's been reinserted in the Director's Cuts, are included in the extra features.

Yes, even the box art is the same as the UK release.

Since the UK release was region-free this is probably the UK release anyway.

Gotta love how some people are too lazy to order from Amazon UK and then when a set gets a US release they end up getting the UK release anyway. LOL

Does anyone have an answer?

I don't know if that's a confirmation than it's just a user wanting each title to be listed individually as contents of the boxset.
