Another Great Amazon MarketPlace Deal - Ultimate Superman Collection
Discovered this today, and I couldn't believe the price. I payed closed to $50 bucks for this set a few years ago.

Thanks OP. I bit at this price as this will be a great birthday gift for my brother. I was a little reluctant because of the whole incorrect Superman I and Superman III disc debacle. I hoping these are the corrected sets. I'd hate to put my brother thru the same nightmare I went thru 3 years ago. Fingers crossed.

wow, that's nuts. I went ahead and purchased a set cause I've always wanted to see the Superman II Donner cut.

Definitely worth it at this price. I think I paid $40-$50 a couple of years ago and didn't regret it for a second.

Thanks, OP - just snagged one myself! I'm guessing these might be the "original release" sets, before WB corrected the recall issues with the wrong audio track on Superman I and the missing special features from Superman III. I don't know if WB will still offer to send out the corrected discs, but even if they don't, it's a small price to pay to get the set so cheap!

I'm not even that crazy about the movies, but for $13 shipped, I couldn't resist. Two more snapper cases bite the dust! (Yes, I'm aware that it's stupid to care about the cases, but eh, whadda ya gonna do?)

Nice. I've been happy with the original release of Superman and the Donner Cut of II, but $10 is insane to pass up. I've dealt with one of the sellers (NEWBURY_COMICS) in the past, and the service was great.

I guess it's a little early for Christmas shopping, but I went ahead and got two sets, one for me and one for a buddy, we're both big Superman fans.
Thanks for posting!

Warner has been dumping a lot of overstock lately. I just saw a whole dump of their stuff at half price books. And their stuff hit Big Lots before that.

Same here, if just for the Richard Donner Cut. I already own the 8-disc set that I got at Best Buy last year for $16 ,the Superman doc disc that I got at Big Lots for $3 and the 2-disc of Superman Returns that I got for $5 at Circuit City thanks to a mistake in the ad eons ago.

I noticed it was solid out from both cheap retailers earlier, but an hour ago, one put some more up and I snagged one.
It's an insane deal, even at two to three times that price.
For me it ends up being an upgrade on Superman I, which I had been on the fence about for some time, getting a theatrical cut of II. I alread have the Donner cut and don't care about III or IV.
The bonus features are killer though: all the remastered Fleischer cartoons and the Reeves, "Mole Men" serial, and tons of behind the scenes stuff.

They arent the recalled ones, they are just dumped leftovers. But its a crapshoot though, alot of them have minor to mejor dents in them-

Just ordered mine from Newbury Comics for $19.69 + $12.29 for shipping to Japan. Hope that I am not disappointed. Thanks for letting us know about this one. I SO wanted to order this when it was released, but due to the combination of the defective sets and the price I never got it! Now I finally have it ordered! Seems like it was discontinued by the manufacturer pretty quickly, eh?
