I did yard work/pool cleaning for my parents and several neighbors an entire summer. Got paid about $100/month between the five houses I took care off, it was actually a pretty good gig, did it until I went to High School.

I'm back to thinking this is going to end up being an exclusive somewhere. The one month lead time to release never made any sense.

And just like a bad dream when it becomes too much to bear, you wake up and the nightmare is gone.

To anyone who has the UK set, are the films cut in any way? Those Brits love to censor everything. With it being region-free, I don't see why anybody would want a U.S. version that has a missing disc, especially if the import is cheaper.

On a side note, this is the second box set that gets released in the UK a year or more before the U.S. (the first being the LETHAL WEAPON collection). Pardon me, but why is that??

Not cut.

If this is really coming out, I'll be pissed that I bought the double feature for 2 & 3.

Me too. I just hope they release all the rest individually, or at least as double features.

Actually, that is not entirely true. Yes, they are the R rated versions available pretty much everywhere and are the versions that most people are familiar with, but there actually are unrated versions of 3 of the films. There are unrated versions of parts 1, 4 and 5. You can read about the comparisons between each film by clicking the links below:

A Nightmare On Elm Street
A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master
A Nightmare On Elm Street 5: The Dream Child

The unrated versions are NOT on the UK set. The films available on the UK set are the R-rated versions that are available in the US.

If it does get released, you'll probably get your order. I pre-ordered Blade when it was first announced and it disappeared from Amazon, but my order still shipped and arrived on release date. If this was just an error, then you won't. Difference with these two releases was that Blade actually had a press release, and was able to be ordered from other stores. I think only Amazon and Amazon.ca are accepting pre-orders for the Nightmare collection.

But these arent gimped or missing anything from the versions everyone knows. Good info though!

Amazon was (briefly), but they aren't anymore.

In WB Shop it is found with the search but when you click on it... OH DEAR! it may have been removed.

If the set doesn't come with any extras, I was thinking of picking up the first ANOES disc that has the Never Sleep Again documentary, especially if it's one movie per disc. I could replace it maybe.

Is the 50 minute 1080i Never Sleep Again documentary on the first ANOES blu taken from parts of the 4 hour stand alone documentary on DVD?

1080i documentary vs 480p 4 hour documentary as a companion to the series complete set?

Any opinions?

[therock666]

not even listed anywhere any more maybe it aint happening i thought a release just announced with only 1 month a way was too soon unless these have been sitting in warner's warehouse since last nov when the over seas releases came out

I'm pretty sure the documentary on the ANOES blu is an entirely different documentary than the 4 hour Never Sleep Again documentary which is only available on DVD in the US. And if and when this collection does get released in the US, I'm sure it will include all the blu-ray extras, as do all the other versions of the collection released worldwide. It just won't have the bonus DVD (at least that's what people are saying anyway).

All versions of the collection released worldwide are completely identical as far as blu-ray content. The first disc is the exact same as the ANOES standalone disc and the second is the exact same as the 2&3 double feature disc released separately here in the US. I'm sure if and when this collection finally gets released here, the BD content will be the same as well.

So, does anyone have the slightest idea as to why it suddenly disappeared? Kinda bummed to be honest.

[Tybo28]

I've bought all the other releases too, which sucks cause I'd rather have this. But I think I only paid maybe 20 bucks for the first movie and 2/3. I never knew about the uk boxed set or I would have bought it last year when the 2/3 combo came out....damnit...

Where did the preorder go?
