The Goonies 25th Anniversary Collection - Blu-ray Forum

thewerepuppygrr · 07-30-2010, 11:15 AM

HEY YOU GUYS!, can't find a thread on this on the UK forum but apologies if it's come up already.

Some pictures and details have been released of this set very recently, and it looks amazing!

http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/07/26/...-art-revealed/

I hope we get the same set over here. There are no details for a UK release date for this yet as far as I know, but I'm thinking it's likely we're getting one if the set includes a reprint of a British magazine (Empire); by the way, I actually have that issue and it really is brilliant.

Fingers crossed then for a UK release this year!

I held off buying the first edition blu ray because I was hoping this was coming. Any thoughts about the set so far?

now a steelbook in this release would be MMMMMMMM

i doubt we. We've not had any of the special colelctor's sets or Digibooks yet.

I don't think this set will be US exclusive, mostly due to the inclusion of the Empire magazine. The digibooks are US exclusive usually because they are part of a bigger collection (e.g. the Criterion collection), this is more of a one off. Then again it's WB, and they wouldn't let us have that cool Wizard of Oz box set...

I think Warner consider the UK market place to small for such releases. Disappointed as I am, I can't say I'm surprised. Blu-ray penetration as a percentage isn't as large over here as the US, plus we have a smaller population. Which all adds up to lower potential sales.

The Digibooks would need translating for any other EU marketplace, so its not really worth Warner releasing them in the UK. Same with the boxed packages. My guess is we got a Dirty Harry collection, but without the pack-in for this very reason: its cheaper to print a different cardboard sleeve and case inserts than to print different versions of the book etc.

I wouldn't expect a UK Goonies UCE release, for this reason (and the reason the Blu-ray has been available over here for months already).

The disc itself in the set is probably the same disc that was already released in the UK.

US/Canadian collectors are importing the UK disc to avoid having to buy this set, now UK collectors want the set. Funny how things work.

lol tell me about it. Well, I will either import or just go with our release. I have the Empire retrospective anyway. It is a pretty box though...not fair! I agree with the US collectors, they should release a regular BD like ours AND a box in all countries so it's a better choice.

Well the UK never got this release but I just ordered the US set for £15.68 inc del, great if like me you missed out when it was $6....

No problem, I posted about it in the Last Bought/watched thread too but I thought posting here would make it more visible.
Its Amazons "Blu-ray Deal of the Week, Offer ends September 17".So everyone else who wants it at this price should order before the 17th

Just placed an order for this as well! Wanted it since release, but was too expensive, and missed out on that crazy $6 deal. Was waiting for a price drop since, will most probably drop in price even further over the coming months, but I'm happy to order it now for this price!

There should be an option in the email settings, that blu-ray.com can spam email everyone when there an insane deal like that lol
But I can certainly live with £15.68

There might be a setting, but not one I'm aware of!

I'm also happy with £15.68.

I get emails all the time with deals. They seem to have neglected to tell me they were giving away The Goonies though....

[Show spoiler]

Yeah the tracking is definitely working for me, I've had like 8 emails over the last couple of days as Amazon have repeatedly upped and lowered the price of V season 1 between £14.49 and £14.99

I almost deleted The Goonies email alert as I thought it was another one for V.

josuv22 · 09-11-2011, 10:54 PM

ordered

wow how did I miss this when it was less than 10

lkmg · 09-12-2011, 02:13 AM

Is this the huge boxset one or standard case type?
