James Bond: The Ultimate Collection (1962-2012) + Volume Collections - Page 58 - Blu-ray Forum

Roger Moore collection 2 is $10 right now!

donthitpause · 11-24-2015, 12:35 AM

Can anyone confirm if this is Region free, or at least Region B?

Kd Jb · 11-26-2015, 08:46 AM

Down to 114.99 at Amazon.

That ultimate collection is tempting me at $115 which makes zero sense since I have the Bond 50 set AND the poster book in full form. Why am I even tempted? Someone stop me.

Assuming that the actor collections used the same discs as the US single-movie releases (disc art notwithstanding), then Goldeneye and The World is Not Enough would be region-free while Tomorrow Never Dies and Die Another Day would be locked to Region-A.

The reason behind the disparity is that TND and DAD were initially released in 2008/9, while Goldeneye and TWINE weren't released until 2012 (coincidentally after MGM's stance on region coding for James Bond films changed).

Geoff D · 11-26-2015, 01:31 PM

Yep, although it wasn't so much MGM's stance on locking Bond films but on their Fox-distributed catalogue in general, early Fox discs were region locked as a matter of course until they switched to the Warners-style 'one size' formula in 2010 or thereabouts. The remaining titles released as part of the 'Bond 50' celebrations were beneficiaries of that, the pleasant knock-on effect for us non-Americans being that we got original mono tracks on those newer region free discs unlike the old region B ones which removed the original audio.

Same on Amazon. Looks like it's no longer an exclusive not including Foxconnect.

I ordered at $114.99 but surprised to see $99.99 when I woke up. Canceled and reordered right away.

Won't they just adjust the price? I ordered at 114$ too.

aurian · 11-26-2015, 05:33 PM

I ordered it this morning. Amazon happily adjusted the price for me.

tylergfoster · 11-26-2015, 05:50 PM

Looking at the thread, I went back ten pages, and I found what seems like general confirmation, or confirmation I can infer, but this Amazon set comes with ONE code that redeems all 23 movies, right?

I believe they can, but isn't it MUCH easier to do it myself?

Yes, my "black box" set came with a single sheet that had one code for all 23 films.

Well, at least I only paid $125 from FoxConnect for this set a few weeks ago (and have been enjoying it quite a bit since it arrived), so I'll try not to be too upset at the current $100 price, because even at $125, selling the code online made this set a great deal.

If you are a Bond fan, $99.99 is an incredible price for this set -- the documentary on the bonus disc is great, as is the montage of all 23 titles sequences/songs, and the 52-page poster book is nice as well (and the compact design is a great space saver).

Man, if I went over my movie budget for the month last night with the Barnes & Noble 50% off Criterion sale, I really blew it with this.

hedliniv · 11-26-2015, 06:16 PM

I wonder if walmart with have Instawatch for the black version?

Yep, that's what I was afraid of. If they were broken up into the same "collections" as the DVDs I could get the Dalton ones I need. If I hadn't already bought and sold the run of the DVDs for the codes, then I would buy this, sell the codes, and have the discs.

It's an Amazon / FoxConnect exclusive.

I've never canceled an order and replaced it because of price change. They always just adjust it. But I understand why you'd want to assure the cheaper price.
