We lost a bunch of discussion. Including the fact that different countries had different number of Blu-ray titles in their collections. Japan even has a mix of blu-ray and DVD's in their collection

US collection is the 7 titles listed at the top of the thread.

One thing posted is that Fox's site (http://www.foxconnect.com) has all the individual titles and the collection up. At the moment Fox connect is priced $5 less for the collection at $64.99. Hopefully Amazon and others will start matching the price.

Note also a once a year coupon for 10% off an order makes this $58.49.

Thanks for the pre-order links!

So is it confirmed that Misfits and Some Like It Hot are not remasters but just the already released discs with different cover art (I'm assuming)?

I would almost bet the Discs are the same for those titles in fact I think those transfers are fine. Aren't they? )

Still the box set price is decent and didn't need to include Misfits and Some Like It Hot... and the price tag would have still been reasonable. I consider SLIH and Misfits bonus to the set.

dsman71 · 06-09-2012, 04:02 PM

I like 2 of the movies, the others I havent gotten around to seeing, but am going to rent a few to see if the set is worth getting or just buy them individually if only a couple are keepers for me

Maggot · 06-09-2012, 04:15 PM

As I already have "Some Like it Hot" and really am not interested in "The Misfits", I'll probably go for the individual offerings.

mzupeman · 07-13-2012, 03:26 PM

My only concern is if I need to make an exchange... I really dont want there to be a hassle dealing with FOXConnect. Otherwise, thats a great price.

Very excited for these to be coming out, but they should/could have done much better in the box set and even added something only available to it. I also believe there will be other Monroe movies coming to BD and who knows if they put out another box set or if they even put out another one that combines some of the new ones with some of the old ones.

So much uncertainty means individual titles for me. From Fox Connect with the 10% coupon its a hair under $70 shipped for 5 of them, Ill get Seven Year Itch from Walmart for the $8.86 price, and I already have Some Like It Hot. So Under $80 for 6 more Marilyn movies is ok in my book.

The individual covers are almost drool worthy but I can showcase the classier design of the boxed set

Some of them are OK - I like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes & How to Marry a Millionaire, but I downright hate River of No Return. I agree the boxset is very classy, I've been saving a top spot on a shelf for a great UCE or boxed set, and Forever Marilyn gets it.

Heres a trailer for the collection:

I agree. A lot of nice things to display coming up... Marilyn, Hitchcock, Universal Monsters...

The excuse is that Foxconnect isn't competition enough... only major retailers.

I would keep that if I had it as well. Is that available separately? If so I may pick that up. However, this set really excites me because I have never seen a Marilyn film. In full, at least anyway.

I don't know if it was ever sold seperate. It still is in some of the DVD sets. I see various sellers advertiising as having it seperate on amazon, some claiming new.
