Maybe True Grit (1969), but I think they'd leave that a single release for folks to pick it up with the remake. And not Hondo as that was just released in June. So I'll go with Big Jake & Rio Lobo, I doubt if either were big sellers as standalones. And the last two films you listed really wouldn't belong in a 'Classic Western' Collection, those are more Native American Westerns as opposed to "Classic" Westerns.

Rio Lobo is the only John Wayne Western released on BD that I don't own - don't care for it - it's a really poor movie made by Howard Hanks when he was past his prime (it was his last film), and John Wayne was just cranking them out.

Rio Lobo isn't the greatest movie, but it's the Duke and I bought it from Target when it was $10.

Since they'll likely put their best of what's available already here, I'll say:

Once Upon a time in the West
True Grit
Hondo

Well yes, it is the Duke. I wasn't going to pay the $18 AMZ price on release and haven't been paying attention to the pricing. I suppose I'd pay 10 bucks for it just to have all the Duke's Westerns that have been released on Blu-ray (they'd have to pay be more than 10 bucks for me to have the Green Berets). Maybe if it is included on this collection it can be had for cheap by itself.

According to the amazon Canada listing it's Hondo / Once Upon a Time in the West / True Grit

[MifuneFan]

nailed it

I'm interested in all of those so I'll probably pick this up as it's a solid value at $7 a movie

Can anyone comment on whether all the extras from their individual releases were ported over? Seems likely since it's a 3 disc set.

Received my copy & it seam all special features for each film are there.

Mine just shipped out from Amazon, can't wait to get it. Was a hell of a deal at $13

[meremortal]

This was going for $13? I just got it tonight in WM for $20.

[MifuneFan]

Yeah, I got it on Amazon for $12.96 on December 9th. $20 is still a very good deal since they go for a lot more if bought separately. Hondo alone is $14.99 on amazon

It's still a good price at 20 bucks although Hondo and True Grit aren't my favorite Wayne or western movies. As far as western sets go, I think this one is awesome and can be had for the same price or less:
