I spent $52 at Wal-Mart for all 8 movies by buying the Double Feature versions. You can see them in my collection. I was saving about $10 at the time, compared to this box set. I'd get this if I didn't already have those. I like the case it comes in as it doesn't take up much space. This will proabably be as low as this box set gets for awhile on Amazon.

I got the UK version with its "Philosopher's Stone."

$44 shipped.

I'm not sure if i should get this though. All i need are parts 1 to 4.

The individual movies have been anywhere between $8 and $10 at Target for the past couple of weeks, and they're all available as two-movie Double Features at Walmart (between $12 and $14).

As far as I know, you'll probably wind up losing most of your Special Features, Deleted Scenes, etc., since this boxset here is pretty bare-bones, with very few of the aforementioned included from the stand alone BDs. Mostly just the movies in this set here.

I'm interested to know if anyone's heard of any news for a third boxset set of these movies that falls somewhere in between this underwhelming bare-bones set, and that uber-fancy (and expensive) 31-disc set that runs $200-$300. While I have this set, I'd prefer to eventually upgrade it to something better with all the Special Features, Deleted Scenes and possibly even the Extended Editions from the various stand alone BDs.

Anyone know if a third set like that might be in the works...?

How is this set packaged? Does each disc have an individual plastic case?

EDIT: Found it. One big plastic case with all the discs.
