Your right it doesn't contain the extended cut. I have the grenade collection and it only contains the theatrical one.

At least the US extended cut is region free.

Just dropped to £34.99 on Amazon. Going to take the plunge, don't have any of them on Blu-Ray.

Even though I've heard nothing but bad reviews regarding the packaging, I'm still going to pick this up, as I do not own any of the Rambo films (even though I'm a huge fan). But that price drop is still not enough for me to warrant a purchase, I'm sure this hasn't sold well at all since release, especially at the expensive price tag it was when it first came out. I'm going to wait for a drastic price drop before picking this up.

Same here, i'll bin my US version when they release First Blood to buy on it's own.

Assuming it's a worth-while upgrade that is.

I returned my copy to Amazon today. A total waste of money, and a reminder on why I never pick up fancy Collector's Edition boxes. The granade is total tat and even though the PQ is fantastic, I still think to spend £34,99 is a tad excessive on cheap plastic tat.

I was tempted by this set but after reading your thoughts I think i'll give it a miss. I've read far too many negative things and not enough positives. Looks like i'll be picking up the regular boxset.

I don't think many people picked this up, was expensive since release and has hardly dropped down in price, remaining around the £50-60 mark. However, I'm sure that £28 is the lowest it has been, I still want to pick this up, even though all the reviews and unboxing vids show what a terrible package it is!

Yes, people who carry the terrible burden of regret over a past purchase that will haunt them forevermore.

So you have it then, is it a piece of shit because that price is quite tempting?

Poshteh1 · 08-21-2012, 11:55 AM

You can have look for yourself, here is an unboxing vid:

If it won't brake very easy it might be a okay gift for a child..Then again even for that bargain price you may find something more clever..

lefthandpath · 08-21-2012, 03:09 PM

I skipped that and bought the individual German re-release of First Blood to go with the old bd releases of Rambo 2 and 3. They have the best transfers and are cheaper than the new boxset which also has the 2 poorer transfers and crap packaging.

Cevolution · 08-21-2012, 03:13 PM

You can get the 1st 3 films of these versions in individual Amaray cases in the buy 2 get 1 free promotion at jbhifi.com.au at the moment, for $31.96au.

Which is the same trilogy set we have here,

http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/dvd/d...blu-ray/653115

However it's cheaper to buy them individually than in the set here.

So the remastered version of First Blood from this grenade set has been released on it's own in Australia ?

It's that's the case then I'll have to import it.

They were released individually here late last year, about 3 months after the trilogy set was released.

Just disregard the running times that JB have listed because they are incorrect.

Sithlord75 · 08-21-2012, 06:32 PM

Sweet, thanks.

What are JB like to order from ? It's coming up as $8.24 to ship to the UK which seems reasonable. Works out cheaper to buy from JB than if I buy from someone direct in Australia on eBay anyway.

Leterface · 08-21-2012, 11:20 PM

The newest Rambo 1-3 individual BDs should also be available atleast in Germany besides Au.

The package is not the best, but the discs are....i really like this
