Good to see its not a Zavvi exclusive and that its on the official 007 twitter etc guess that means the rest will trickle out! Guess bit of marketing for SPECTRE
See the press release I posted:
Sucks because of the covers.....
Stupid decision
http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Exclusive-Ultimate-Blu-ray-Collection/dp/B011KG2G5O?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1436963734&sr=1-132&keywords=blu&tag=blurayforum-20
There's meant to apparently be also a 10th steelbook just for the Craig films.
I agree. It's weird that DN is not covered in this steelbook release. It's featuring the very explanation of the very acronym S.P.E.C.T.R.E. by the diabolical Dr. No!
Then again, I have always enjoyed watching FYEO straight after OHMSS. It seems to be a more natural follow-up/sequel to OHMSS. And obviously it has Blofeld's final hours alive. His death being rather, uhmmm, cheesy though :-P.
Are the US likely to be region free? Were the 50th box set region free? I don't fancy buying from UK if missing several from the collection.
I need to wait until my paycheck I'm afraid :( . Anyone else suffering from this fact too???
Hey @Antovolk ? Where did you upload the German packaging steelbooks? I think I want to buy them all from Germany...
Should've been included in this collection if they're doing movies featuring SPECTRE.
By the way, I think I'll wait a bit until I can pre-order them from BestBuy. It's way cheaper, especially now with the weak Euro
For all 9 steelbooks on BestBuy you pay: 9 X $12,99 = $116,91 = €106,87
And for the 7 steelbooks on Zavvi you pay: €167,69
I find that quite a huge difference. Even with extra delivery costs, I reckon the steelbooks from BestBuy are way cheaper.

I think they're on Amazon DE....
I made it
My favourite is the CR one. Absolutely astonishing main title design.
Then perhaps the FRWL-one, though I also love the GF-steelbook
And after that FYEO and GE are beautiful. And the simplicity of TB is wonderful too
Don't forget: The titles still can be beautifully embossed in the steel. That's something you can't see just yet. And the GF-steelbook has partially shiny fonts, printed over a matted poster design.
Trust me, "SPECTRE" will be released in steelbook too. Nowadays all big blockbusters are being released on steelbook as well.
Cheers EON. Amazing packaging, some new extras, Everything or Nothing disc included, a book of posters. Really good of you to actually make some effort for the double dip compared to the uninspired, shoddy box set you palmed off on us for the 50th.
Fantastic as these steelbooks are, am I the only one who feels like we are being scammed here? Why couldn't they release these amazing designs for the 50th? I would have easily spent £200 to have every film on my shelves in these steelbook form. But no I went and spent £100 on the exceptionally poor box set. And what's the betting they still haven't fixed the QOS menu so it matches the rest?
I just can't justify the expense of double and triple dipping here. I've ordered the FRWL and OHMSS ones because I can't quite resist stuffing no money at all in Babs and MGW's pockets and that will do me I think. Would love the CR one but owning 3 copies of the same film (already got the 50th box set & the amazing triple disc bluray version) is just mental. I'll stick with my crappy 50th box set with no extras for the time being as I managed to get it signed by the late Richard Kiel.
Why is Bond always so far behind the curve in delivering what the fans desire compared to other big franchises?
And as usual they still can't even get the basics right - if this a SPECTRE themed set where is DN? Also by including FYEO does this mean they are finally acknowledging copyright infringement by admitting 'unspecified bald bloke in a wheelchair' is Blofeld in the PTS? Can the McClory family sue retroactively? Sure has hell if Kevin was still alive he would try it!
I hope in the future there's just one big movie company, owning the 50% share of the franchise, and responsible for everything: co-production, distribution of the cinematic films, production of blu-rays and its distribution.
But again, I do think EON, MGM and Sony deserve some applause for this release. Absolutely stunning.
