John Wayne - John Ford Film Collection $31.99 Shipped at Amazon

I've been watching this since for some time, and the lowest I've seen was $35.77 some time ago. The next lowest currently is $39.99 at DD.

Includes:

The Searchers Ultimate Edition
Stagecoach Two-Disc Special Edition
Fort Apache
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
The Long Voyage Home
They Were Expendable
3 Godfathers
The Wings of Eagles


I wouldn't wait if I were you, Pilgrim.

Thanks for posting the link (which I should have done.) I'm just not as sharp since I've switched to decaf ...)

Probably because it isn't WB, and they couldn't/didn't want to secure the rights for this boxset.

Highly recommended set though. Every film is a gem.

But mostly because it's a Howard Hawks joint.

Are you thinking of Rio Bravo, Rio Lobo, or Red River? Because Rio Grande is most definitely a Ford film.

Very happy with my set. The extras in the Searchers 50th Anniversary UE are terrific.

Yep, I was thinking of "Rio Bravo" (and why is the river NOT in that movie???)

Jeez, I miss real coffee!

A great set, though They Were Expendable inexplicably comes in a snapper. Perhaps that's appropriate, as I consider snappers to be expendable too.

My copy came in a standard keepcase.

Mine is in the mail. Thanks for the heads up, it's been on my wishlist for a long time.

Sucks for me I guess. The disc sticks out like a sore thumb. I've never seen a box set contain one snapper like that.

You're not alone, NoirFan.

Warner Home Video also stuck "old-stock" snappers in some of their other box sets that mixed new and previously-released discs, like The Elvis Collection in 2004.

My copy arrived today... and They Were Expendable is in a snapper. It's a bummer, but not too bad; the collection will be displayed "John side out."

Mine just arrived with Expendable in a keepcase, and Yellow Ribbon with a floater (but looks OK).

Thanks to bigkid's post above, I ordered this set for $26 from buy.com the other day, and it just shipped. It is still $26 there, and now in stock. Just a heads-up.
