New blu-ray Triple/Double Wal-Mart "Bond" exclusives

[thompsonjohn]

Just got back from Wal-Mart, they're repackaging "Bond" flicks on blu-ray for bargain prices. And they do come stickered "Only at Wal-Mart."

I just picked up both..
Sean Connery Vol. 1 (Dr. No, From Russia With Love, and Goldfinger)
Sean Connery Vol. 2 (Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, and Diamonds Are Forever)

The blu-ray triple features are priced at $14.96

They also had..

Daniel Craig double-feature (Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace)

Pierce Brosnan Triple-feature (Goldeneye, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day) .. had they included "Tomorrow Never Dies" and not "Die Another Day" I would've bought that one.

Lastly NO LOVE for the Roger Moore or Tim Dalton-era movies on blu-ray sets.

[thompsonjohn]

And I can confirm they are 3-disc or in some cases 2-disc sets. Looking at the disc are they appear to be same as the stand alone releases so all extras should in involved.

Sounds cool. I have the Bond 50 box, but always wished they'd put out volumes. Dalton's two seem like a no brainer for a double feature. They probably should've made Brosnan's four into 2 double features. Or a 4-movie set!

[thompsonjohn]

I dearly wish they would do a Dalton double feature like they are current doing for Daniel Craig (they're not including "Skyfall" in sets.)

And especially poor George Lazenby haha, I would still like his film on blu.

[thompsonjohn]

I grew up just after the Dalton-era and then we got "Goldeneye".. imagine the disappointment I felt til Craig came and did the revival.

"Die Another Die" has to be one of the biggest black marks on the franchise.

Anyone have pictures?

And sucks they just didn't do the Brosnan Triple in order.

Do they come with Vudu/UV codes?

The Daniel Craig double pack is not a Walmart exclusive, although I haven't seen it anywhere in store lately (I got mine from Foxconnect, and it has been available online), probably because of the short notice of its release. I also notice that there's a Daniel Craig Triple Pack listed now on Blu-ray.com. Probably won't have anything unique to the set, but its great for those who can wait till June.

I don't think they would come with UV codes, as Skyfall is the only Bond film that is UV eligible.

And I just picked up all the individual Connery Bond Blurays...dagnabbit!

[thompsonjohn]

No UV codes and the covers look just like their triple feature DVD counter parts.

Here's a DVD shot of what these packaging's are like just imagine the blu-ray design across the top.

Does the Connery set #1 contain all 3 titles on seperate blu-rays, or are they pulling a Warner Triple feature and putting 2 titles on one disc and the third on its own disc ? Blu-ray.com and walmart.com have no info, and the packaging doesn't say

Since when has Warners ever done that? All the Warner Triple Features I own have just been repackagings of the individually released versions.

I picked up the Bruce Willis Triple Feature (16 Blocks, Last Man Standing, Last Boy Scout) at Walmart for $9.96. 16 Blocks was on 1 disc, and LMS & LBS were on 1 disc.

I didn't mind them doing it for that set, but 007 is another matter

LMS & LBS are only available on 1 disc. They have not have separate releases.

When I picked up the Bruce Willis set there was no description of how many discs there were. It felt too light to be a 3-disc set so I figured it was 2-on-1 disc and 1 by itself. For $9.96 I wasn't complaining.

These Bond sets make me wonder if they're 3-disc sets. Walmart sells individual Bond Blu-rays on the same shelf for less than $10 each; these triple features go for $15 a pop with no mention on the package of how many discs are inside the case. I don't carry a scale in my pocket and it's hard to tell by feeling the weight how many discs you're getting.

I'm not saying that Walmart or MGM are trying to pull a fast one, but is letting us know how many discs we're getting really too much to ask ?

Never mind

A quick trip to Walmart after work and a quicker examination of the Connery Volume 1 case shows the words "3-DISC SET" on the spine in small print.
