It's a fantastic set. I don't regret spending over $50 for it, years ago. You will believe a man can fly.

For one pound more they're also selling the Batman Anthology, with the first four original films. I don't know much about them since I only care about Batman (1989).

You can usually find the Batman 4 pack that has all of the extras and (from what I understand) has the same discs for around $15 or less stateside. Right now it is around $18 at amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Film-Favorites...=batman+4+pack

Same discs, and I think it's even been $9.99 before.

I did go ahead and ordered the Superman set, though.

Also of note, Corruptor is down to $9.99 too (WB, same release day)

Now only if Empire Records would go down to that price as well, I would be set.

I have never ordered from amazon.co.uk before.

If I want to order this from them do I need to set up a new account or can I log in with my amazon.com e-mail and password?

It's been awhile since I've ordered from there but IIRC it uses the same account/password.

Yes. They raised the price.

Henry V - $15.89
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OCFHHOQ/

Jean De Florette/Manon of the Spring - $15.89
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OCFHH14/

On Golden Pond - $15.89
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OCFHH9Q/

Capricorn One - $15.89
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OC6LO2Q/
Special features, at least what's been announced so far, are pretty thin, so keeping the earlier SE DVD might be a necessity.

The Corruptor - $9.99
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R4SM4MS/

I know just... we're still so close from when BF happened. Do we think this will go down anymore? How many hours is CB?

I'll wait in that case.

Currently 42% off--I could see Amazon going slightly lower, but I don't expect a Warner/Fox type of 70% off deal.

Coupons as previously mentioned could be a good way to go. I tend not to bother with them myself.

Cowboy Bebop is a no-brainer, guys.

Finally pulled the trigger on Police Academy. It's nice they have a Priority Global shipping for Amazon UK now. What's not so nice is it's $30. No thanks:)

I was able to obtain the Police Academy set from Amazon's US website for $25 from a third party vendor that had fulfillment from Amazon. Of course, this was late last year, but you might still get lucky.

Police Academy says Region B/2. Is that a thing? I thought Blu's were region free.

E Unit 01-11-15 07:38 AM

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
 
Nope, there are Region A,B,C's for blu ray's. Just as there were region 1,2,3...same as DVD. Amazon UK usually defaults the descriptions of the blu rays to say they're Region B since that what the typical UK region is. But several movies are region free.

The entire set is region-free. Amazon's descriptions of technical specifications should be taken with a grain of salt.
