Kubrick Collection $36 Shipped (Oldies) or less (Amazon)

http://www.oldies.com/product-view/33416M.html

Please don't turn this into an anti-Oldies.com thread. I've had my share of issues with them, but $36 for this is a superb deal IMHO. If you agree, order it. If not, your decision is respected. Enjoy!

Plus with any order you will get a Spider Man origins DVD w/comic.

Some people are having good luck find sets of various qualities on Amazon's marketplace.

FYI, the set I ordered arrived from Oldies in less than a week in pristine condition.

I was just gonna post this as I just placed my order. Great price. I've only ordered from them twice and while the shipping as kind of slow, I had no problems. It was only $33.90 shipped for me, though.

Yes, I am lucky enough to live in PA, where the home base is ($2 tax added). Non pa residents will do even better than I.

Ah yeah that's what I must have figured. Great deal either way. I put off on buying this for so long but can't anymore.

Shipping to Canada is a respectable $4.99. Hmmm.

another option is Amazon marketplace where you can get this for about $16 shipped. Obviously a ton cheaper, but some dont like the marketplace so I guess thats up to whoever is buying. Just a thought though.

I already have 2001 and Full Metal Jacket on HD DVD; A Clockwork Orange on BD; The Shining two-discer on DVD; and Eyes Wide Shut somehow made naked Nicole Kidman and rich weirdo orgies boring, so I'll be taking a pass on this deal. Otherwise, it's not bad.

Great deal and I've been wanting this for a while, but then I read about the cost at Amazon, so that's where I'll buy it. Thanks!

Re: Kubrick Collection Director's Series $36 Shipped

I just snatched a "Like New" copy from Amazon Marketplace for $11.20 + $2.98 shipping - I figured I wouldn't find a better price anytime soon! I'm glad I waited for this (not that I could have afforded anything more in this economy!). --Peter

Good deal but I have most of the movies in this collection already.

Hmm, I think you and I got in on the same Marketplace, I hope they have more than one copy!

I decided to spring for a 'New' copy for $1.22 more. I figure the little extra is worth it if it's factory sealed and there is no wear to the individual cases. The prices for this on the Marketplace are suspiciously cheap at the moment, but with the Amazon A-to-z Guarantee there is really nothing to lose.

Re: Kubrick Collection Director's Series $36 Shipped

Amazon also has the Stanley Kubrick - Warner Home Video Directors Series, the 2008 box set available from a secondary seller for $15.37, with FREE Super Saver Shipping.

Less movies, but they are the newer, 2-disc editions (which have better sound and picture quality from what I understand). A pretty good deal at that price.

I don't have enough posts to provide a link, but a search for "Kubrick" on Amazon will find it quick enough.

I'm sorry, but this post is pretty funny. I'm going to check out your first post kalel to see if it's as good. No offense man, welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the heads up OP and nopey, trying to decide if I should upgrade for the 2-discers.

I'm afraid the sparkling wit of my first post may disappoint, so don't build it up too much.

Dammit! I just bought the 2-disc Eyes Wide Shut at Barnes & Noble at full price for $26.99 because I'd given up finding a good deal on it!

Sorry, I'm an idiot. I should pay more attention. I got turned around somehow and thought this thread was about the older box set. See, this is why I don't post much, because I'm an idiot apparently.

Not a big deal kalel...I got a laugh out of it. I was wondering when you would catch it.

Many thanks to the OP for starting this thread. I was able to pick up a "like new" copy on amazon marketplace for $11.42 plus shipping. How could I say no? I only want 2001, but I'll find good homes for the others after I watch them.

Re: Kubrick Collection Director's Series $36 Shipped

I find the term "like new" to be very subjective with Amazon Marketplace sellers. Especially when the same seller has a "like new" copy of the Kubrick Collection for $15 and another "like new" copy for $25. Makes me think one is significantly "newer" than the other.

Agreed, I prefer a new copy to one with questionable quality.

Is this the best collection out of the 3 that are listed on Amazon.com?

Re: Kubrick Collection Director's Series $36 Shipped

If any of you are buying this for only a couple of the movies, I'd be interested in taking "Eyes Wide Shut" and "A Life In Pictures" off your hands, as well as the cardboard slip case for all of the films. I just bought the rest of them in the set from a DVDTalk member for $3 each, so I'd like to complete the set if I can. PM me if you're interested.

Hopefully this post isn't inappropriate, by the way. I'm sorry if it is, mods.

I'd like to point out that the HD-DVDs of the 5 films tend to go on sale for $4 each.
