Has anyone figured out why things like this cost so much less in the UK? I know the packaging is slightly different, but $40 difference? I don't think so! --Peter

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

Thought it was a bargain when I got it shipped for around $40.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

So did I..."What a great deal for just under $40!" (However, they did send me 2 copies because of the holidays shipping snafu) But a great deal non-the-less!

I still don't know why many UK sets, that work in the US, are much cheaper, especially when you consider they are shipped overseas. Even more impressive...that typically, my Amazon UK orders arrive within about a week. Walmart ship to store takes about 2 weeks, plus their service is the worst...

tempting....

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

Bought.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

I used to have a link to a site that lists whether a blu-ray is region-free or region-locked. But I can't find it right now. Can anyone help me out? (I know Aliens is region-free but I may want to pick up some others along the way).

In case you haven't heard. They changed the packaging.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

Hence the new low price now for set.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

Thanks, OP - ordered! Hopefully I get the new, non-shitty packaging.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

Just order it, what else do you need.


I got mine two weeks ago for about $43 shipped old fold out package.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

What's the difference between this set and the US set? Is there a difference in picture quality, etc?

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

The discs are all exactly the same content, exactly.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

Thanks for the reply! Ordered :)

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

:hscratch:

I got the US version for $35 a month after release.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

In for one also!

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

What you didn't include was where and how you got it for that price so it doesn't count.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

Might be one of those:
$90: retail
-$20 Best Buy Reward Zone Gift Certificate
-$20 Christmas money from my Mom
-$10 bill I found on the street
-$5 I took from some kid shopping for some CD's
= $35!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

interesting... I did not know this. I kinda like the old crappy packaging. ;)

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

I agree with you in regards to the packaging. The terrible fold-out style packaging used for the UK release is what held me back from purchasing it before at lower prices. The US release still looks superior to this new UK packaging, but given the huge price difference I could live with the version housing a multi-disc Blu-ray case inside of the box cover.

If my birthday wasn't coming up in a few days I would try to purchase this as soon as possible. I can wait a few days to see what happens first though. ;)

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

I ordered it at that price before I saw this thread but I didn't know about the new packaging. Its not a deal breaker but I hope I get the fold out version!

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

I like the old foldout packaging for the cool case art.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

Does anybody know if amazon.co.uk will accept amazon.com gift cards? Should be getting some soon and would like to know if I can use them on this.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

Yeah, the foldout packaging is amazing compared to that new fat case.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

I like the plastic case more then having too open the long long fold out thing on the floor to getnto a disc. I got mine two weeks ago so they're still shipping in the foldout.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

I've asked before on this board. Unfortunately the answer was, "No".

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

Thanks for the post picked this and the Matrix set up.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

Packaging means nothing to me. It gets tossed and the discs get put in binders. So for $34 this is a done deal. :up:

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

Delivery estimate for me is May 19th.....hopefully it crawls here a little quicker!

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

They always seem to have an extended delivery estimate. Except for the problems over christmas, I usually receive mine within eight days from the shipping date.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

I received the old fold-out package. :( If anyone wants to trade LMK.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

Already received mine - SO FAST! It was sitting on my porch with the end wide open. They used a really goofy mailer. No damage though. The fold-out isn't bad compared to the Quadrilogy set, 6 discs vs. 9 before. And for $34?

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

I, for one, would not mind the foldout because of the cool case art. ;)

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

Boooo, still waiting on mine.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

I finally received mine and its the fold out version which I wanted and did not mine getting.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

Nothing yet. :(

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

did it ship at least?

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

I haven't received mine either. It shipped out on April 21 with an estimate delivery date of May 19! I'm sure it will get here before then.

Re: Alien Anthology $33.74 shipped Amazon UK
 

Yea, mine says delivery estimate of May 19th....but it pissed me off that one of my buddies at work also ordered it after and he got his today. Grrrrrrrrrr!
