The Pacific/Band Of Brothers (Limited Edition Gift Box Set)

[USiT]

Found this on Play and HMV

Don't have any info abou this release more then 13 disc and a price of £40

Anyone else got any info about this set?

[Pieter V]

I think it's just the two tins all in the same plastic factory seal.

[aozsari]

i wonder what its inside too.

Amazon UK has a new picture available

[Pieter V]

Picture looks nice, texture are like a photoalbum. Like the globe idea too.

Wonder what else is included in the set? But at that price, I wouldn't expect more than just the discs, otherwise would be more expensive!

[Natty]

I already have both of the tin versions, but if this is G2 sized and has some nice limited edition goodies in it, I may consider upgrading!

[BarnDoor]

Why the modern map of Europe? Also, it's a little too central. It would have made more sense to have southern Britain, France, the Low Countries and part of Germany.

[Blu Lemmy]

I like it, but will only part with my hard earned cash if we get some special stuff, otherwise I'll stick with the tins I already have

An amazing gift set that combines two best selling TV box sets. From executive producers Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, and Gary Goetzman the two critically acclaimed 10-part HBO Miniseries Band of Brothers and The Pacific come to us in a stunning Blu-ray gift set. Includes a never seen before bonus disc.

Band of Brothers
Based on the bestseller by Stephen E. Ambrose, the epic 10-part miniseries Band of Brothers tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army.

Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters, Band of Brothers chronicles the experiences of these men who knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear. They were an elite rifle company parachuting into France early on D-Day morning, fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and capturing Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. They were also a unit that suffered 150 percent casualties, and whose lives became legend.

The Pacific
From the team behind the Emmy®- and Golden Globe®-winning HBO miniseries Band of Brothers comes The Pacific: an epic ten-part miniseries that tracks the intertwined odysseys of three U.S. Marines - Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge and John Basilone - across the vast canvas of the Pacific Theater during World War II. These men, along with other Marines, are tracked from their first battle on Guadalcanal in 1942, through the rain forests of Cape Gloucester and strongholds of Peleliu, across the bloody sands of Iwo Jima and Okinawa and, finally, to their triumphant but uneasy return home after V-J Day in 1945.

Extra Content

Contains all extra content from previous editions of Band of Brothers and The Pacific plus 60 minutes of never before seen footage:

Called to Service
The 60-minute documentary, Called to Service, will include new historian interviews and reunites veterans from Easy Company (European front) and the 1st Marine Division (Pacific theater) in a conversation revealing their experiences after World War II. Organized in a four-act structure, the documentary captures how these veterans re-acclimated back to life after being at war and the transitions these men went through coming back home

If thats all i will not get this one

[Pieter V]

That 60 minute docu, is the same as you firstly could get, when you pre-ordered the Pacific tin from Amazon.co.uk.

I won't get this edition either. I'm just curious how it looks but nothing more. Probaly just a new big slipcase where the two tins are housed in.

The DVD that came with orders from Amazon.co.uk was called 'Inside the Battle of Peleliu', so I don't think it's the same thing.

Plus I doubt that the set will include both tin editions, seeing as it's priced at around £35, the Band of Brothers tin is currently selling for £16.99 and The Pacific tin retails for around £30.

French one look better

[CIBartowski]

Pre-ordered UK version.

33.47GBP = 51.00CAD (approximately)
Amazon.ca wants over $80 just for BoB

Not having either of these, and wanting them, I'd be stupid not to... wouldn't I????

[Cuthbert1]

I still don't have either of these but have been meaning to buy them for a while, but I think I'll order this box set now.

That french one looks great though! I'm gonna see if I can't get that rather than the UK one.
