Funny - the second user reviewer on BR.com complained the new packaging wasn't as good as the Bond 50 set!

I've seen it mentioned that if you redeem UV for the actor sets in flixster, you get individuals in Vudu. Is this the same for the single 23 movie code? I'd like individual titles so as not to have a 23 film lump, then singles as they come out in the future. Thanks for any info.

In store or over the phone? Their price match policy indicates daily deals don't qualify for a price-match, but if I can get it through them I would for the MyBB points.

This isn't sold in stores.

Ah. Hadn't checked their site yet to see that.

I was able to PM it over the phone just now. Good stuff.

Best Buy just started carrying it in stores. It's in this week's ad.

The "Bond 50" packaging is certainly fancier, but I (along with many others) inherently distrust paper-based disc holders for protection and/or durability.

Strange, it says not available for store pickup regardless of zip code I put in

Just call your nearest store. BestBuy's in store availability feature is screwed up.

The review of the Ultimate Edition that's up for $90 today has this in the review on this site..

Quote:

James Bond: 50 Years of Movie Posters (Book): This 52-page "excerpted edition" is an abridged version of the 304-page hardcover released by DK in 2012.

The version of Bond 50 came with a similar book if you bought the first one (without Skyfall) before a certain date through Amazon.com. Does anyone know if this book referenced in the 2015 UE review is the exact same book as that earlier release?

They didn't for Skyfall. When you got the first run of Bond 50, that had a slot for Skyfall. That "slot" was taken up by a Blu-Ray shaped piece of cardboard that said "This Space reserved for Skyfall". The second file attachment shows that. I presume the same kind of cardboard holder is in place here.

When Skyfall came out on it's own, you couldn't buy just the blu-ray. On top of that, the printing wasn't the same. So if you're all OCD about them looking the same, that will be an issue. See what I mean with the first attached picture.

I never saw the second run of Bond 50's Skyfall disc with my own eyes, but I have to imagine it looked like the others.

They are not exactly the same, as the book in the UE has Spectre poster when I checked out unboxing videos. Bond 50 book does not.

theater dreamer · 12-05-2015, 01:14 AM

I think the design and visual appeal of the Bond 50 set blows either of the new collections away. I got it for my Dad (with Skyfall) a few years ago for Christmas. So far, we haven't had any issues with the packaging, but we're not using it every day, so we'll see.

The new sets are certainly easier to store, though.

OK cool. tkx.

What great timing. Had $75 in amazon credit for an early christmas present. $10 off for an order of mine they messed up previously. Selling the digital code, I think I did alright.

Have always wanted the complete bond set, have never owned it any format. This is going to be awesome.

Until the new one next year with the super duper bonus features

How do you guys have so much Amazon credits? I have been buying from Amazon for so many many years and they don't give me any credit at all.

I already have the 50th Anni set and Skyfall bluray. Should I buy this set?

If the documentary means anything to you, and booklet/UV codes

I bought the Ultimate Set for the special features and I don't want the Digital HD code that comes with it. Can anyone give me any advice on where and how to safely sell the code?
