Questions about Bond 50 Blu-ray collection...

I'm thinking about getting the Bond 50 Blu-ray collection for my Xmas, but I'm confused about the releases.

Ok, so what I've gathered is that the first version has 22 Bond films, and a disc spot for Skyfall. It is also rectangular and the Blu-ray discs come in two books, as shown in this photo:

Then I saw that there's this version of the box set, but it's square shaped and the Blu-ray discs aren't in two books unlike the first one:

But then you can get this version, the same as the one above but with Skyfall included:
bond50_3.jpg

As you've probably noticed they're all Region B/2 versions, which is what I need. I'm just not sure whether to get the version with a much nicer presentation but not including Skyfall, or the version which does include Skyfall but has worse presentation?! :# Any suggestions on which one to get or info as to why there are different release versions (I cannot find anything on the internet about this and I haven't managed to find a Region B/2 version of the first Bond 50 release version with Skyfall)? And is it worth the investment?

Thanks

    Don't expect any value of B-R sets go up.

    Get the set, which gives you the best value for price - if the 23 set (incl. SF) is cheaper than the 22+SF set then get it!

    Speaking of Value, the original Bond DVD Set (That came in the oversize Metallic Tin with the 007 Insignia on the Hinge Lid) is quite some Money I believe.

    Thanks for that, yes I can find the 23 film set cheaper than the 22 film set, but it's so annoying about the presentation of the 23 film set; it doesn't have the nice two-book sleeve presentation with artwork and years, instead you get a worse looking plastic place holder style one... Oh well you can't have everything in life :))

    Yes it is! Almost 100 pounds on Amazon UK! The Bond 50 Blu-ray collection is cheaper than that! Thanks for helping me put the value into perspective.

    I thought the value would've decreased after 11 years. Why does it cost that much?

    I don't know, rarity maybe, it's an old, collectible item? Some people pay for that kind of stuff...

    These Type of items always do. I have seen certain DVD Sets on Amazon.co.uk go for £1000 :o
