Isn't this the only way to get the theatrical cut of Superman II on BD?

There appears to be an Australian stand-alone, but that's region B. I believe the anthology is also the only way to get the theatrical (not the 2000 extended) cut of Superman The Movie on blu.

Looks like I need to go to Target for a pricematch of my Target purchase from 2 weeks ago. (I missed that in the ad ... it is pretty small). Thanks!

You can get the set from Amazon UK for about $30 shipped.

Yes, the original version has only been released in this box set.

Re: Best Buy - Now thru 12/12/12: Superman: The Motion Picture Anthology $53.99

I have the previous Anthology on DVD which I paid almost $70 for. I decided to only get the $9.99 Triple Feature BD with I, II: The Donner Cut and Returns. Those are probably the best of the Anthology anyways.

III is corny, IV is unwatchable and I can live with keeping all my bonus features/extras on DVD including the feature length documentaries.

That's crazy terrible deal. Why would anyone pay more than $10 for a Warner Blu-ray that's in a boxset? It should be $19.99.

It's 6 movies and 2 feature length documentaries in the set plus the other bonus material. $19.99 is not a realistic price.

/\ True, but after seeing how much the DVD set dropped in the years after it's release (Long before this release, by the way), I am fine with waiting.

$20-25 is my price point.

I thought it was just the Reeve movies.

No, it's everything.

Re: Best Buy - Now thru 12/12/12: Superman: The Motion Picture Anthology $53.99

Sold out at Best Buy

That price is still high since those movies came out in the 80's and it should be around $25-$36 and maybe they come out with a new blu-ray box set in 2013 after the Man of Steel comes out?

It looks like it has been recalled at Amazon for some defect.

I saw the Ultimate Collectors Edition for $27.99

http://www.amazon.com/Superman-Ultim...rman+anthology

I remember buying that for around $70 in 2006.

If you read the 1-star reviews at Amazon, it appears that Amazon has been shipping non-US versions to customers, though those reviews are sporadic with some recent and some more than a year old.

One of my local Best Buy stores had dozens of copies...collecting dust on a display. $25 or less. This is one of those purchases where at first, it seems great you're getting all the movies...but then reality sinks in about how boring most of them were.

Target has had this for $49.99 as well, which I coupled with their Free $10 GC with $50 purchase during the holidays.

Fry's had this in their 12/26 ad for $39.99, and it was $39.99 again about 2 weeks ago.

Strange since it is $59.99 at bestbuy.com?

I thought it was close to OOP or already OOP

When was this set ever sold for $25? I frequented Best Buy during the Holdays and you couldn't get this any cheaper than $50. You must be thinking about the DVD set.
