James Bond: The Ultimate Collection (1962-2012) + Volume Collections

Yes, I have a friend that purchased the Canadian bilingual Amazon exclusive. The bilingual wording is on the flimsy outer slipcase (front/left spine) and on the thick inner slipbox (right spine).

The standard white set? This appears to be an issue some others are having, too.

As I indicated in an earlier post, the copy of Licence To Kill in my set has different cover art but who cares? Disc contents are all the same.

I bought the individual actor boxsets and some discs have the white lettering, others have the yellow lettering. The logos are a bit different based on what color lettering there is. Skyfall matched the original Blu-ray release and not the black style like all the other discs.

It seems random too, I've seen peoples same individual actor boxset and they have a different assortment of yellow and white lettering discs.

You have to ask on a collector forum why people would care that the discs in a set don't match?

Its annoying and I would prefer them all white, but I know if I went back to the store complaining that the discs don't match they'd think I was even nuts than they already do. Plus, no guarantees the next set would have white lettered discs to replace the yellow ones I have.

I was able to swap out the single flipper for a double flipper in the Craig collection to fit the bonus disc for Casino Royale. (Makes me really happy, I didn't think I'd be able to fit the double flipper in the single size case, the Brosnan 4-disc case is thicker.)

The only question is if I should swap the movie discs for Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace with the single releases I'm selling off to be the original release artwork like Skyfall and the bonus disc....thoughts?

I only double dipped bc people are being EXTREMELY greedy with regards to selling UV codes (i.e., selling the Brosnan collection for $18-$20, when Blu + Digital HD is $9.99). I figured I can resell the Blu copies at a price that will make the purchaser AND me feel very happy. Scored Moore 2 and OHMSS codes at a reasonable cost and already own Skyfall. I say all that to say, I need License to Kill and Living Daylights to round out the collection. Foxconnect w coupon seems to be the best option, I just hate to waste my ONE chance to have 30% off on 2 $10 blurays. Plus, I'd have to pay shipping. Suggestions? Alternatives? Things I can add to my foxconnect order to make the order worth my while?

I have used three email accounts and received 3 different codes which I have used on orders payed for by the same paypal account. So make of that what you will.

These posters in the trading forum are such a joke! I'm all for selling digital codes to make back a couple bucks but selling at almost double the price of the whole package is a complete d*** move! Hopefully noone is paying those ridiculous prices.

Someone is trying to get $20 for each for the collections. People like that should just be banned from using the trading/selling sections.

I thought sure this was the blu-ray section.

Why? He or She can charge whatever they want for a digital code. If someone actually buys it, that's their business. You can choose not to buy it.

Actually no. I tried to sell a OOP LE here and my thread got deleted twice for "charging too much".

Yeah, I'd go ahead and swap them. I like the original artwork better with pictures. It would be different if every disc matched.

I agree. In fact, having the unique art is actually pretty nice. Works out really well too because my buddy who is getting all of the Craig and Brosnan movies that I had will now have all of the same style discs in his 7 individual cases.

Wow. I guess it's their playground so if they decide to delete a thread for whatever reason, that's the way it goes. But really...if you're selling something, you should be able to charge whatever you want. I really don't see the problem. Odds are if you overcharge no one is going to buy whatever you're offering anyway.

And honestly the price wasn't absurd, about $100 IIRC, the going rate of the set by that time. I even sold it for more elsewhere.

The PM I received, IIRC, said that I was charging way more than what it sold at retail and that was not allowed. I really thought it was incredible not being allowed to sell my stuff for the price I wanted and just stopped listing sets here.

I love the mentality that people can charge whatever they want to when they resell something, but go on rants when Best Buy's movies are $1-$2 more than Target's or Walmart's.

Nice new set but owning the Bond 50 set, there's not enough to make me want to upgrade, although the Everything or Nothing documentary looks like it would be worth a watch.

It would be great if they could start to offer these new bonus disc to people with the older set for a small fee, maybe a few months after release, so it doesn't eat into the new sets sales, I'm sure there would be an interest.

But no doubt it will appear on YouTube or some download site at some point though, so I will check it out that way.

It's available on iTunes for $14.99 in HD and Amazon Instant Video for $9.99 (not sure if it's HD). Just FYI.

Thanks for that, I'm more of a disc man when it comes to this stuff generally but good to know that's an option.
