EDIT: Apologies. Only The Shining and 2001 will be 4K discs. The rest are old Blus.

October 21st. Price is a steal.

Yeah just noticed this. What a pointless boxset. Apologies if I got anyone excited!

Half off at Zavvi right now. Came to just under $65 after shipping & tax by using this 10% off code: JPTOYS10. Right price for for me considering I'm buying this for the packaging alone. And cost will drop even more after off-loading redundant releases.

Should look good next to the Taschen Kubrick book on the shelf and future proofs me against whatever terrible artwork WB inevitably chooses to use for their future Kubrick UHD releases. I do wonder whether this will include the 2001 disc with corrected fade. Only detailed unboxing I could find is the following Youtube clip:

Zavvi shipped this Amazon USA-style in an oversized box with no packing materials. Remarkably the only damage sustained was when I pulled sheet off the back of the box (sticky material took off a small bit of text; not very noticeable).

I know this set has had its detractors, myself included, but it's quite nice in hand especially considering the price I paid. When displaying the spines it reminds me of the white Kubrick DVD collection. Book-style cases for each film feel premium and the symbol pattern used for the art works especially well for The Shining. Interior art and quotes are nicely done too. And there doesn't seem to be a single BD symbol on any of the packaging which will make this work quite well as a WB Kubrick 4K collection.
