Releasing this a few days before the Hungers Games comes out in theaters a really smart idea. I'm sure people will be comparing the two and talking about it.

Nice! I have the UK collectors release of the first film, but going to pick up this Complete Collection to get the second film on Blu-Ray.

If Arrow released a collectors set of 2 in the UK, I would get that instead but they haven't even announced a license for it yet.

No way! I was mortified that I missed out on the UK Collectors Edition. This makes me happy.

I'm with you on this brother!

I would recommend watching BR II first if you can. It's a very weak film compared to the first one.

Wonder when we'll get the 3D version.

Neutron82 · 12-12-2011, 06:59 PM

i wonder what the packaging will be like... it's cool to see it finally being released in the states though... i thought it may not ever happen so i bit the bullet and bought the uk set awhile back

sancho · 12-12-2011, 07:10 PM

I am going to buy "The Complete Collection"...thanks OP.

Yeah, I was kicking myself over that one too. Great news !

I love my UK BR set. It is one of my fav BD releases I own. I am happy for those who missed out on the UK set & will finally have their chance to own this amazing film on BD.

For the US release I will be interested in exactly what the special features are since the UK set special features are in PAL DVD and I can only watch them on my CPU.

Phoenix Theory · 12-12-2011, 07:22 PM

Yessss! I'm so happy I wanted the uk box set but it's to much.Thank you

Great to finally see a release date for this. I'm really intrested to see if AB go all out like Arrow did and give the set an awesome packaging and a crap load of features. A limited edition run like the UK one would be awesome, I'd love to add another to my collection.

I want to see if they do a completely new transfer too, and see how BR:2 looks

Can't wait!

mediocre · 12-12-2011, 07:59 PM

I love the first film but have heard absolutely horrible things about the sequel. Still worth buying the Complete Collection for the extras?

MisterPilgrim · 12-12-2011, 07:59 PM

Very cool, considering I missed out on the UK version.

Will probably get the Complete Collection, even though I wasn't too crazy about the sequel (though it's not as bad as I thought it would be).

I liked the second film a bit more than the most people I think. But I won't buy a expensive set because I got the UK version. I hope they eventually release the second film as a single disk release.

Kentai · 12-12-2011, 08:51 PM

Unless we're getting a brand new transfer for the Theatrical Cut, I'm good with my Arrow Video box set. Nice for those that missed the UK LE, though.

MykeHavoc · 12-12-2011, 09:08 PM

Great films, great price! Can't wait! Will make a nice birthday gift for me

EDIT: Mistook the price of the one film as the double pack. Not so hot of a deal anymore. I'll wait for it to go down in price.

I feel the same way. I am TOO excited to see this finally get a US release.

I just couldn't bring myself to shell out the big $$$ for the UK edition.

I hope the PQ and AQ are top notch on these.

Thanks for posting this, and for the links.

Wally Q · 12-12-2011, 09:43 PM

Curious guys, based on my collection of owned/ordered/wish list, would I enjoy these? I've been curious to see them for the longest time but haven't gotten around to them.
