Universal Classic Monsters Collection is £31.24 (approx. $48.50) plus shipping from Amazon UK. Much better than Amazon US's current price of $111.99.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B008H45YSO

Don't know if it will be region free yet, but several recent titles from Universal have been.

I ordered it last week and mine came to 34.32 (or $53.11) with shipping. Does that sound right or should I cancel and re-order?

sahoward · 07-09-2012, 06:09 PM

Amazing deal. I hope it's Region Free!

Same exact price. His price didn't include shipping (as he said). Yours did.

I think the UK set might not have the Spanish Dracula.

The UK set definitely has the Spanish Dracula.

Your price is the same as the OP. OP just didn't include the shipping charge. 31.24 + 3.08 = 34.32

Or what Peep said

Yup. Universal isn't going to author another disc just to screw UK customers out of Spanish Dracula.

I really really hope that this set has normal bluray cases inside versus the book packaging that the US gets. Either way this is a great price on the set.

It's very likely to have normal BD cases instead of the more expensive deluxe packaging. That's one of the reasons the UK set is cheaper.

MykeHavoc · 07-09-2012, 07:27 PM

Alright, cool. And for those that want to break it down, including Spanish Dracula, it works out to be $5.80 a film. Anybody not jumping in this would be loco!

They could also go with that Battlestar foldout nonsense. I don't fixate over packaging but that would suck. It wouldn't suck sixty bucks worth but still.

Damn! I really want to pull the trigger on this deal.

Yeah, that would suck, but I would still prefer that over the book.

Go ahead. It doesn't release until Oct. 1st and Amazon doesn't charge until they are ready to ship, so ordering it now protects you against an increase before release.

snoopywatcher68 · 07-09-2012, 09:56 PM

Thank you !!! Ordered

hariseldon · 07-14-2012, 11:24 PM

Looks like the price dropped a few dollars -- now available for £33.08 shipped which is around $51 at current exchange rate (and with a Fee Free CC).

MykeHavoc · 07-15-2012, 12:09 AM

Now about 5.72 a film. Just keeps getting better!

BluPat · 07-15-2012, 12:40 AM

Went ahead and pre-ordered the UK set too. Maybe BB will have a good deal with this release come release day and can pick the US set cheaper than Amazon US.

Ashamed Pegasus · 07-15-2012, 01:30 AM

That price is too insane not to pre-order.

"The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles where there are no lakes. The Oilers moved to Tennessee were there is no oil. The Jazz moved to Salt Lake City where they don't allow music. The Oakland Raiders moved to L.A. and then back to Oakland; no one in Los Angeles seemed to notice. Continued expansion diluted the talent pool, forcing owners to recruit heavily from prisons, mental institutions, and Texas."
