Mankell's Wallander blu-ray box set (starring Krister Henriksson as Wallander) does exist out there, I got it from Cdon two months ago. The Blu-ray set had been continuously 'out of stock' on Cdon since Spring 2023, and when I was notified it was back, even then it showed "only a few copies left". As I write this again it has been 'out of stock' again for a while. I've been trying to figure out when this box set was released cause it doesn't say it on the box. I think (but could be wrong) that it was a fairly recent release on blu-ray *as this bundle* because I haven't seen this set on blu-ray before this year and because its been recently available and then again not available on the Cdon site. Can't figure out why its not available more widely internationally, these were such great films!
I've seen some of the movies being sold earlier as single discs on the Scandinavian second-hand online stores, but never before this bundle of all the movies. The bundle has been around as dvd set for a while, so this is obviously the same, just as a blu-ray version. The box set has 22 black blu-ray discs stuffed in a thick (45mm thick) plastic box with Krister Henriksson's face on the front cover, there are no booklets or extras. The title reads "Mankell's Wallander Collector's Box" "Includes 32 Movies", with logos of Yellow Bird, channel 4, and SF studios. Subtitles are only in Scandinavian languages (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and on the last season also Finnish).
The quality of all the Wallander movies is great, in most of them its superb quality, very high definition video with just a little bit of grain and good audio. For example the films "Innan frosten (Before the Frost)" and "Bröderna (Brothers)" were truly outstanding in quality. Some others, such as "Mörkret (Darkness)" were a bit softer, I don't know why the video quality was not as high on a few of the films than on most others (don't get me wrong, theyre still good just not as mind-blowingly great video quality as some other of the films; also, this applies to a few of the first season films, overall the quality is outstanding). The price was around 30-40 euros at the time (September 2023). Here in Scandinavia they show this series on television all the time but in my opinion this blu-ray set is much better quality than any tv broadcasts I've seen. Recommended.
