Re: Amazon UK Box Set Bargains
On that Hammer box set, I just dug mine out today and "remembered" that the individual disks are packed in hard plastic, like the inside of a cd jewel case and held together in volumes with a cardboard outer wrapper. I had said they were in window envelopes which is totally wrong. I must have been thinking of something else. Sorry about that.
Click in the first result ang go to the second page and you will see a lot of photos of it.

If anyone comes across a really good deal for Optimum's set on the first two seasons of THE AVENGERS or Network's release of the old TV series ESPIONAGE S1, please post it.
They do get reduced at Amazon UK from time to time, but not very substantially. Most of the time the best deals are in the Marketplace, but it's always from sellers who won't ship internationally.

The two Coen-Brothers box-sets are pretty tempting price-wise:

Regarding the Network title, if you can, wait for Network's annual sale. I bought his title there and even with shipping to the US still came to a fraction of what I would have spent on marketplace.
Of course there's also e*ay.uk - many sellers will ship to the US and your US account is linked to their system.

Re: Amazon UK Box Set Bargains
Some of you may not consider this a deal, but I figured I'd mention it anyways as there are surely some people who would be interested =)
It seems there is a Remastered DVD release of the complete series of The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau. This looks to be a UK only release so far, as I can't find any mention of it anywhere else besides international websites.
The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau £110.20 (Release May 23 2011)
From the Amazon page:
Available on DVD for the first time, and digitally enhanced from the original master tapes, comes the opportunity to own what The Boston Globe has called ‘the most spectacular and colourful series on the air.’ The legendary Jacques Cousteau, along with the loyal crew of his famous ship, Calypso, spent a decade travelling the world’s seas, documenting the many wonders that they encountered. A pioneer in many senses, Cousteau’s technical wizardry allowed for the filming of new species and behavior in the animal kingdom, all presented with a profound respect for the natural world.
• This groundbreaking series set the trend for nature documentaries, revealing the reality of making the programmes, alongside incredible footage of animals in the wild.
• Contains all 36 episodes of the classic series, which ran from 1967-1976, and which the New York Daily News called ‘what television can and should do best.

Also, for those of you who are TMNT fans, Turtles Forever is being released in it's proper 80 minute Anamorphic Widescreen format in the UK. The North American release was cut short at 70 minutes and was 4:3. The pre-order for this is currently £8.93 and can be found here.

Re: Amazon UK Box Set Bargains
Bumping this old thread because there are several really nice Region-Free Blu Ray box set deals going on right now.
As mentioned in the Amazon Bargain thread,
Also I ordered a box set of Season 1-7 of The Big Bang Theory for $50 shipped. Seemed like a pretty good deal, even if there's many more seasons of the show on the horizon.
Maybe others could put some of their finds from the current sale here as well.
As mentioned in the Amazon Bargain thread,
The Superman Motion Picture Anthology 1978-2006 - $16 shipped to USA from Amazon UK. Region-free.
Maybe others could put some of their finds from the current sale here as well.

Re: Amazon UK Box Set Bargains
Thanks for reviving the thread. There are a lot more TV on BD complete series over there, perhaps because of fewer streaming options? I like how the description of the Big Bang Theory set is the titles of every episode. 
Some possible interesting deals there, like the James Dean and Kubrick Collections, and Mad Max.

Word of caution on that James Dean set (at least -- that's the only one I picked up). While the three movie Blu Rays (on four discs - Giant is spread over two discs) are in indeed Region Free, the James Dean Forever Young documentary and the American Masters discs are on Region B DVDs and won't play in most US players.

Journeyman The Complete Series [DVD] for £13.00 is the best I've seen that so far (not that I check every day):
