It's still a bit too purple I think, same with "OHMSS", "Dr No" and "Goldfinger" are slightly more orange.

It looks like amazon has the set for $60 and release date of Feb. 9,2015. all 23 movies for $60?? this must be to coincide with the release of Spectre on blu.

I was watching Mission: Impossible (the series) on DVD last night and the faces are all super orange. This is on a calibrated set. I would imagine they pushed warm back then to balance with the very cool CRT televisions people were using. I often hear that assumed as a reason why many DVDs had a red push.

I would imagine this new version will actually have Spectre too, so it'll be all 24 films.

For $60, that'd be the deal of the century if that's what it ends up being.

All 24 films for $60? This would be nice, but highly unlikely at that price.

Does anyone know what the "new" $59.99 collection is listed on Blu-ray.com and amazon.com?

BBY charges once the order is placed though

They do place an authorization hold, like most places, to verify that the CC is valid and enough funds exist but the hold will drop off after a number of days.

$49.99 pretty much confirms that this isn't all 24 films. Maybe it's just a collection of all the bond movies (7) that feature the Spectre Organization?

[pauley79]

Yeah, it would be nice to know more. The price seems really cheap for 24 movies.

[Mr. Romberg]

I do wish "Never Say Never Again" (1983) was included in this box set, even thought it is outside the official Bond cannon.

[Gardenofstone10]

It'll be interesting to see when picture are released so we can see exactly what's up with this collection and why it's so cheap.

[StingingVelvet]

My gut feeling would be a Spectre related movie collection, like the steelbooks last year.

[perfectionthrusilenc]

hmm, I already own the 23 movie collection, debating on whether on biting on this new one or not.

Best case scenario: it's a new set with Spectre, would make a hell of a Father's Day present.

Worst case scenario: it's not an actual "collection"

decisions, decisions....

Do you think it may just be the Daniel Craig collection? So Casino Royale thru Spectre?

It comes out the same day as Spectre, so one would assume that it would be included in this collection.

At this point, it seems pointless to buy a Daniel Craig collection. He has one more movie, at least. No "collection" will be complete until he hangs up his tux. I understand the studio's perspective, but I wouldn't buy actor collections until they can be called complete.

Very True. I have the Bond 50 set and Skyfall and Specter (pre-ordered) separate.

One day when they have another "complete" set, I'll sell and repurchase.

But regardless, it seems like this $50 Bond Collection which comes out on 2/9 will probably just be another Craig collection.

afaik, there are only 4 Ian Fleming books not used for film titles. And they are "007 in New York," "The Property of a Lady," "Risico," and "The Hildebrand Rarity." Probably safe to say they won't be using any of those titles anytime soon.
