Why the heck are Skyfall and QoS not being released in the UK (they say because Skyfall had a UK steelbox release and QOS had a UK DVD steel box release) Crazy the artwork won't match!!

    Nice to see Digital Copies included. Hopefully the U.S. gets Everything or Nothing (and it sounds like we will).

    The US has the same set at Best Buy and in Germany you can get them at Media Market. Both of these sets come with QOS and Skyfall so they should come to the UK to. -{

    Im afraid not, UK only gets 7 instead of the 9
    Six films featuring the SPECTRE organization (FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, THUNDERBALL, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE, DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, FOR YOUR EYES ONLY) and the three recent Daniel Craig titles (CASINO ROYALE, QUANTUM OF SOLACE, SKYFALL) will each get a limited edition Blu-ray Steelbook release, their cover designs inspired by each film’s opening title sequence. In the UK there will be seven new Steelbooks as QUANTUM OF SOLACE and SKYFALL have previously been released in this format.

    Media Market don't ship out of Germany by the looks of it and I think the US discs from the 50th anniversary was region locked if I'm not mistaken?

    Hmmm I am 90% sure QOS only came out as a DVD steelbook in the UK so thats a little upsetting. I'll find out about the region lock.
  • welshboy78welshboy78 Posts: 10,320MI6 Agent
    Yes your right about QoS. Its really bizarre especially since they are making them for the other markets anyhow!

    Best buy are selling these for 12 dollars I think - whats that 8 quid? Hopefully region free.

    Pity Amazon aint selling instead of Zavvi

    PS - whats the odds the SPECTRE steelbook will have totally different artwork format 8-)

    It is crazy. You would think it was just a case of shipping the same steelbooks! If QOS doesn't come out in the UK i'll have my mate send it from America, probably cheaper anyway!

    I agree about Amazon as well. Zavvi are terrible for customer service or even just customer communication. I have emailed them a question about an order before and rather than reply, they just canceled it and sent me a stock email reply.

    No doubt the SPECTRE one will be different. Just like Goldfinger, Goldeneye and Skyfall. I know they have released these beacuse of their link to SPECTRE but keeping them in the same theme would be nice.

    Yeah, would be nice to have DR No though to complete the Connery/Craig collections though. I am just too greedy I guess.

    Was happy to see these hit today. They look great. It is really nice to have the digital copies as well. Look forward to it!

    Good point - for heaven's sake he even talks about Spectre... 8-)
  • welshboy78welshboy78 Posts: 10,320MI6 Agent
    Yes lol

    Wish it was there instead of Diamonds (prob my worst EON film of the series)

    10% off orders over £50 at Zavvi.

    Code is 50VCUK50

    Valid until 19th July 2015.
  • Arbogast 777Arbogast 777 Minneapolis Posts: 595MI6 Agent
    And try figuring this one out - the set is an Amazon exclusive, but unless Amazon joins Ultraviolet, you can't redeem the codes on their own site... 8-)
  • VandrellVandrell London, EnglandPosts: 324MI6 Agent
    You mean Zavvi?

    It doesn't matter where they are sold. There are a few apps that allow you to download and watch UltraViolets. I use one called flixster that work in partnership with them. Free and easy to use.

    Now live on Best Buy for US preorders

    Here's the link for those in the US that are interested - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/bond-steelbooks

    Personally, I'm going to skip these. While the artwork and packaging are nice, the films are the same. I'm getting the hot flashes I had when buying the 17th version of the original Star Wars Trilogy that was released. I think I own that collection in every possible viewing format available (x3). I already bought the complete Blu-Ray set of the 22 Bond films before Skyfall was released, so I consider my collection complete. I've since picked up a few digital versions of the films I really want via iTunes - as I much rather have the actual digital file on my computer than have to join some site in order to stream it online.

    But for those that opted out of the previous release, The Ultimate James Bond Collection sounds like to one to save for as it's got a few extra special features, etc.

    Kind regards,
    Craig

    17 lol

    What pisses me off about these are the collection is not complete and its really a gamble (EON don't look like they are going to say otherwise) and they have justified it by saying its the SPECTRE films so I'm being pessimistic

    I'd love to get it, but without Dr. No the SPECTRE set isn't even compleet. Why would I spend money on a incomplete set :#
    It's such a shame, because I love the artwork!!
    Don't confuse me with the other DutchBondFan, but be sure to follow his YouTube account. You can read my articles on James Bond Nederland: www.jamesbond.nl/author/gosse/

    I mean Amazon for us in the United States. You are correct that the codes can be redeemed through other vendors (I use Vudu) I'm just pointing out the irony that here the only place that sells the set is Amazon and the Digital HD codes aren't compatable with their own service...
  • Smithers500Smithers500 Spectre IslandPosts: 1,347MI6 Agent
    The artwork looks great, but I have to agree it's a barmy decision to exclude Dr No - the film that introduced Spectre! FYEO has been included, yet officially Spectre couldn't even be mentioned in that film...

    I won't be getting these but that's primarily due to my reservations about steel books generally as several of my non Bond titles have started to show signs of rust on the covers.
    Japanese proverb say, "Bird never make nest in bare tree".
  • Markyb64Markyb64 Posts: 86MI6 Agent
    I think this is just a cynical move by EON to cash in on the release of Spectre bearing in mind that at the end of the year the new Ultra Definition Blu-ray format will be available which of course will include the Bond catalogue. I think I'll wait for that and hope they will include some more extras material.

    For those in the UK QOS and Skyfall have now been made availible as part of this set. Pre-order goes up on Saturday.
  • VandrellVandrell London, EnglandPosts: 324MI6 Agent
    Anyone in the USA who does not have these yet, they are $7.99 on Best Buy for today only.

    Damn, I missed it!

    Anyway, are these worth getting? I have two sets of Blu-rays (the original releases and the Bond 50 boxset). They look rather pretty, but is there anything more to them? Will they be doing all the movies like this, I'd guess not.
