isn't it plainly obvious as to why these are bundled and released
this way.
It's obvious to almost all of us, Tony.

To me, the best solution would be to box all the Connery's and Lazenby together and label the set as the Bond years from A to B. Moore's run would be the next set running from years C to D. Dalton and Brosnan would be boxed as years E to F. Craig's run would be from year G to the present.

People would then be able to get what they want, assuming they want to buy all of the movies in a given run of years.
Well said!

Re: MGM Press Release: 007 on Blu-ray

I personally would have loved period boxes.

The number of people who like Moore's run is probably close to that of Connery's for instance.
You can take me out of that equation.
But most probably, I would have bought them all anyway.

There is only one "Bond"!!! :-)

Collectors would arrange it chronologically.
Marketers would arrange it for money. :-0

Re: MGM Press Release: 007 on Blu-ray

Put me in the Moore Bond area.

first Bond film i saw in a theater was Live and Let Die and it blew me away.

Never knew anything about Connery 'till years after.

Re: MGM Press Release: 007 on Blu-ray

I just wish they'd announce wave #2 already! Then the third and final wave could coincide with the BD release of QOS next spring.

I'm really dying to get Goldfinger, You Only Live Twice, OHMSS, The Spy Who Loved Me, The Man With the Golden Gun and Goldeneye.

Re: MGM Press Release: 007 on Blu-ray

I'm still reeling from the fact that Amazon had them for $6.66 each a couple of weeks ago! I'm totally ruined for all blu-ray sales now.

Re: MGM Press Release: 007 on Blu-ray

Personally, I'm waiting it out until all 20 MGM/Fox Bond films become available as one set.

I found a posting about it in the "bargains & deals" forum (I wouldn't have known, otherwise).

Amazon had a selection of blu-rays that you could choose from (6 of which were the Bond blu-rays). At one point, most of the Bonds were $17.49 (a couple were still $23) but finally they all went to $17.49. With a purchase of any 6 blu-rays you got $50 off the 6, then there was some other kind of 'best value' discount which took off another $15, and then you got free shipping. So, it came out to $6.66 each. There was an even better deal if you bought 10, you got $100 off (which I assume is what TonyD did), but I didn't see 10 titles that I wanted.

Re: MGM Press Release: 007 on Blu-ray

I was tempted by the Amazon deal and lost out to temptation. So, with the Panny Blu-Ray player on sales at Costco, I'm now Blu-Ray.

I wrote a couple years back that Bond going Blu-Ray would probably get me ... and it did. Can't wait to watch Dr. No. It looked amazing in SD so my hopes are quite high for that title.

Amazon may do something similar again- just keep checking the 'bargains' forum. These specials aren't well advertised on the Amazon site (no wonder!)
