Hahaha, true! The first film to mention SPECTRE and I believe the only one where they reveal what the acronym stands for. How did they miss that?

I love the fact that the only place you can purchase the set is Amazon and the Digital HD codes that come with it can't even be redeemed on Amazon's service

The spine of the current set is no where near as thick as the spine for the upcoming ultimate edition set

Depends how it's displayed

It's very disappointing that it looks like these won't be the new 4K restorations that were done. I guess they're being kept behind to tie in with Bond 25.

Compare the above with say the inspired marketing of Live and Let Die. No contest really...

It might be photoshopped, but I always liked this UK poster art.

Apologies in advance if this has been addressed, or there is a set standard for Sony releases, but will the digital copies released as part of the new complete box set be compatible with iTunes?

Given this is a MGM/Fox release it's likely the digital copy will be UV only.

Glad they included the iguana. Hell, he's practically henchman class now. Beat it, Knick Knack.

I'm not sure if it's the very young Bond fans that seem to prefer the photograph stills as Blu Ray sleeve artwork. Whereas, the more mature audience might prefer the original artwork to appear on the front cover, instead.

I think the GoldenEye theatrical poster had a bit of a classic look to it:





After that; Tomorrow Never Dies onwards, the new design format for poster artwork featuring photographic images from the film, instead of hand drawn images, became the future:

Looking at the UK VHS, wonder if NSNA got the same...

The use of spoiler tags would be great.

I actually picked up the 27 x 40 poster of this version at the time of the films release. I liked it much better than the US versions. Still, it's not nearly as good as some of the earlier Bond posters.

I've got this one, it's awesome:

Consider using spoiler tags. It's getting very annoying in here.

It's Bond related. No more news on the coming release, so what do you want us to talk about? Would you rather the thread remained dormant? Some of us are actually enjoying the conversation about how the Bond films were marketed in the past. I know, I know...some of us forgot to use spoiler tags..is that it?

Yes, common courtesy would be to use spoiler tags or smaller images. Hard to have a discussion when the thread is essentially being spammed with huge pictures. I could just add the main person doing it to my ignore list I suppose

I'm also not the only one that feels this way

I don't usually care about going off-topic but it is kind of annoying to load the thread looking for new info and be spammed with huge VHS cover images for no apparent reason.

Though on that topic I do have to say it's a shame MGM/EON/Fox don't use the amazing poster art that exists for these movies. That and the annoying Bond 50 packaging are the best arguments out there for using custom covers.
