I number crunched myself into a stupor on AmazonUK last week being that you don't quite know what you're paying until you reach the final part of the checkout process. I never did pull the trigger, but I had these in my basket:

The Tarnished Angels (Sirk)
Classe Tous Risques (Sautet)
..and
The Hero (S. Ray)

I will definitely pick up the new The Third Man release, but since it is region free, I'm guessing that it will be easily available state-side and hopefully for less money if I am patient.
In addition to the 4-Disc set of The Third Man, I also picked up region-free copies of The Boys From Brazil (it cost me about $6.00 as opposed to the Region 1 Shout Factory edition which is almost $16.00), the two-disc 45th Anniversary edition of Doctor Zhivago (cheap, cheap, cheap), the 1986 musical version of Little Shop of Horrors which includes two cuts of the film and all the special features included on the Region 1 digibook, and the Fantasia / Fantasia 2000 Disney double feature (OOP here), which features each film in its own individual case, housed in a sturdy cardboard case.

I paid less than $36 (shipping included) for The Third Man 4-disc Collector's Edition, which also includes the soundtrack on CD (a huge selling point for me personally). The set also includes artcards, a booklet and poster, and it wasn't that much higher in price than just the single-disc blu-ray.

I'm not familiar with the other two titles you had in your basket, but my eyebrow lifted at the mention of The Tarnished Angels ... a great film that needs to see a little love here in North America.
