9 films, 27 discs. March 2020.

That's going to be a mega-expensive set with 27 discs.

I don't think most of us who already own the individual films are going to immediately purchase until the price comes down or the titles are offered as singles.

This set is going to literally cost an arm and a leg.

I say $249.00 before discounts.

And about $175.00 on street date.

This better not be a Best Buy Exclusive!

Yeah, I'd guess about $175 to $200 as well. I think that's the price point that they can charge before people just tune out from "sticker shock" (especially when they're all available or will be available shortly on Disney +).

 

[Ronald Epstein]

$175 to $200 is a bargain for a set with 29 discs. I would expect it to cost at least $300.

This is kind of like playing THE PRICE IS RIGHT and I am very interested to see which one of us comes closest to the actual retail price.

I'm sure Disney would love to charge that much but the only reason I think they won't is because once it gets above $200, they price themselves out of the reach of most people.

Ha! I'm saying $249.99 MSRP and after the usual discounts, I say it'll be $180.

27 discs seems like a lot, but when you break it down, it may not be an outrageous amount of content or price. 27 discs is 3 per movie, and of that, probably one disc is a movie only UHD disc, one disc is xx a movie only BD disc of the new master, and one disc is bonus material similar to what’s on the iTunes/Vudu digital versions.

Would three of those disc contain A New Hope, Empire and Jedi in its original unaltered State?

I am going over to the dark side. I have been going through the series on Disney+ in 4K, Dolby Vision & Atmos and the quality is so surprisingly good that I will not be buying the discs, unless the titles eventually disappear from the service.

Probably exclusive packaging only. I don't think something like this could be relegated only to one chain of stores. Disney would want to squeeze every last penny from it. The more sales the better.

I kind of doubt it, but 27 discs is an awful lot of content.

Yes, I cannot see paying Di$ney's inflated disc prices for this set as long as I am paying for their streaming service which already includes the films in 4K. I have paid for the service already for the next 3 years. If I decide not to renew then, I am sure this set will be a lot less expensive at that time.

Yup, along with Song of the South, Hitchcock's The Mountain Eagle, Orson Welles' original cut of The Magnificent Ambersons, von Stroheim's edit of Greed, and The Day the Clown Cried.

I'll politely pass until the original films are restored to their unaltered state. I can't even bare to watch the prequels again (I tried on Disney+) so this probably isn't for me.
