"Alfred Hitchcock's Masterpiece Collection"...
I am really wanting to get into his movies and want the SE's of "Rear Window" and "Psycho" especially, that this one contains.
So where is the best price online or B&M's on East Coast, and why hasn't the retail price come down at all since it has been out a bit, no?

Its only been out 4 months. Price drops usually take 6-9 months on major titles. Box sets take longer usually, if they drop at all. Even at list price this is a good deal for all of those movies.

You can do what I did and wait for the DDD 20% off sale where I paid $69.12 for the set this past Nov. If their reg. price drops by the time the next sale hits (probably in June 06) then you can get an even better deal. Good luck.

Any news on if the DVDs in this set will be released individually?
(I'd like to get the anamorphic versions of Psycho and Vertigo, but don't want to double-dip on any of the other titles.)

But knowing how all of these studios work, they will want you to send back the ENTIRE package, so maybe youll get a corrected disc for the defective one, but youll have to rewatch the entire set to make sure you dont have another defective disc.

I think the cheapest you can get it is through CH.com. You have to pay $10 IIRC to join, but you get two dvds with that (from a selection of about maybe 100 dvds). Then the boxset is $72 shipped. It'll be a while before you get the set though if you go that route.

I feel kind of strange posting in a topic this old, but hey, why not?
I was strongly considering buying this set, but was hoping someone could help me out with a quick question...
I really love the covers for the individual releases and the ability to watch a movie without having to open up large, complicated packaging, and was wondering how this set was built. Looking at the back, it looks like it's some sort of a binder with pages for each movie rather than a box housing each individual keepcase. Is this the "case," or am I misinterpreting things and are the movies in individual cases within the box?
(Cover examples, if that helps at all)

There are 4 movies per case. They are cardboard hard covers. I would have preferred individual cases, bur you could always print your own...

Ah, sorry about that, I didn't see it mentioned in my quick look around, but see it now. It looks like I'll go with a few individual titles instead.
I appreciate the help, guys.

beware the set, there's a good chance you'll get a bad DVD18, I definitely did, and didn't have any luck emailing Universal other than send it back to the retailer you bought it from.
