Why is it so hard to find the Warner Legends Collection? (1 Viewer)

[David Lambert]

Borders is holding a copy for me. $66.99, plus I have a 20% coupon that knocks it down to $53.59...that's actually a better price than anything in my Roundup!

Can you beat $23?

It's the new 4 disc Lee box from Blue Underground with the Fu Manchus, etc.

 

[John Hodson]

Excellent set isn't it? Whatever happened to Anchor Bay's plan for Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee boxes? The 'In the Future' section on their website seems to have disappeared.

So many films, so little time...

I went to Best Buy today (Maple Grove, MN) and they didn't have it in stock. She checked and it isn't in stock at any Best Buy in town.

I received my Amazom pre-order via UPS this morning. I used overnight shipping.

Can you beat $23?

I can! Only costing me $18.77 for the box shipped from Amazon.

I just came back from Tower Records (NYC). They had about a million sets there. $70.00

 

[Jean Paul Villeneuve]

I couldn't find it either, so I ordered it from amazon.ca

 

[Ken Ranke]

My Amazon preorder shows estimated shipping 10/6. The site itself shows 3-4 weeks before it ships ? Could there have been that much of a demand for this set ? If so hopefully Warners will keep up the pace with future 2 disc editions !
Any suggestions for future titles ?

Herb, is there any way you can do a quick look-over of the extra disc so that we can decide if we want to wait or not?

Nick... I've pulled it out and will do it tonight.

Herb.

I was able to find the set at Tower Records today, on sale for $59.99. The store I went to had only 2 left, but it wasn't in a prime location, just mixed in with the rest of their box sets.

I'd like to see "All The President's Men"(is it a Warner title??) get a 2 disc SE. Especially while Hoffman and Redford are still alive.

It's one of the best written screenplays ever imo

I just heard from my DVD source that Warner underestimated the orders for the Warner Legend titles and copies originally allocated for the boxed sets were reallocated for the singles. Warners says that the remaining box sets will ship "soon."

Amazon.ca says it "Usually ships within 2 to 3 days" (not weeks).

 

[Mike-McG]

I just checked Amazon.ca and they're now listing it as "Usually ships within 3 to 5 weeks".

Until Herb's review is up, this might answer a few questions regarding Here's Looking at You, Warner Bros.:

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0102027/

Nick -- I wouldn't worry that it's a "fluffy promotional piece"! I read elsewhere that this DVD version might run 75 minutes (that was a passing comment somewhere, though, by no means necessarily true), but the IMDB listing is 108 minutes. Is there a cut version of the documentary floating around? In either case, it's feature length.

I'm one of the lucky few whose box set shipped on time. Barring unexpected delay, I should have it tomorrow. A week or two from tomorrow, I'll have hopefully made it through all of the supplements! Yikes. Way to go, WB -- as if I wasn't already losing family and friends to DVD time.

 

[Herb Kane]

Nick... just finished watching it. As Bill says, it is indeed 108 mins and is by no means fluff. Many many great clips and even outtakes. I'm going to get into it's content further when I complete the other two Legends films. It is highly informative and I'm happy to have it.

Herb.

I watched 15 minutes of the HLAY,WB disc (while my kid finished eating and before I had to help him with his homework). Fantastic so far...Clint Eastwood ably narrates the first portion of this and told me things that I didn't know. Fun, fascinating stuff.

Kim's Video in St.mark's place in the village has Yankee Doodle for 21.64. Go get it!
