Wow. Y'know... I was gonna try real hard to avoid these, thinking that I just may pick up a few of the Ultimates. But that price is just too good.

It's May already? It's the Gold Box Deal of the Day. They will most likely sell out of this item before the day is over. Once they do, you will not be able to add it to your cart. If you want it, then you better place your order ASAP. Thanks for the heads-up, Tony.

Dang. I'm broke. I'll just wait over in the corner watching everyone else's fun.

Great deal! Comes out to $6.25/movie. Cheaper than the single disc releases.

I bit on this, too. Thanks for the head's up.

Good grief, that's tempting. How much A/V improvement is there over the existing special editions?

It's about the same price as Costco is currently selling them for: $33.99 per set (with member's coupon, thru Sunday 3/18).

Re: today only? (5-13-07) bond dvd set $125.00 Amazon

I went for it, thanks, Tony! As for PQ compared to the previous sets (according to the very long thread in the DVD films section), most are better. Some, like my favorite "Spy Who Loved Me" suffer from edge enhancement. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge of that thread can give us the quick and dirty.

And here I was going to wait so that I have something to buy when I finally get into Hi-Def discs (assuming the 007's are out by then). But, I'm a sucker for great deals.

Dead is dead now. Went out of stock between when I had it in my cart and when I bought them (I fortunately got in on the deal; I just have to wait until they get 'em back in).

Just out of curiosity I checked the price today and they're selling it for $180 for all 4 sets, so those of us who bought them yesterday saved a bunch of money.

Ah, resistance prevails!

Saving the $125 for the eventual Blu-Rays.

It's a good thing I saw this late, because I probably would have bought it! lol.

Still, the regular price is reasonable, but I am going to have to wait for a while.

I'll be consoling myself with the 12-disc Rodgers & Hammerstein collection I just got at Costco for $34.

I really don't like the way they divided up the Bond sets anyway. I wish they'd made them chronological instead of just a random jumble.

Because I don't want to buy them all. I own all the Dalton and Brosnan films already. If the sets were chronological, I could likely skip the 4th set.

While that's a noble thought, there's no way the BD's will cost $6.25 apiece!

Furthermore, after watching the --awesome-- new Casino Royale, I've realized that some of the other Bond movies are... quite bad in comparison! Oh, there's still a bit of the child left in me that will enjoy watching them, but I think the upscaled DVD remasters will be my limit--with maybe a couple of HD exceptions, like Goldfinger and Thunderball.

I ordered this set yesterday, they showed up today. It was a heavy box, but this is 40 tightly packed DVD's.

Now I just need to find some cover art and keep cases!

(By the way, thanks TonyD!)

Of course they will, once BD is replaced by SM3DXSD (Super-Mega-3D-With-Extra-Sauce-Ray Disc)!

You can get them from my site.

Even though there are 5 ten disc cases, they take up slightly less room than the 4 ultimate sets and the 5th volume is expandable to hold a few more Daniel Craig films.

Ric - where is the single keepcase art for Lazenby?

Well, I got my $125 UE Bond set, but I'm disappointed because it got dropped on its corner, and set #4 has a big nasty ding in it. Dammit!

Hey, Patrick! I missed this thread at its beginning...but felt compelled to check it out tonight because of the title. Why don't you change the date to 3-13-07???
