Alright, you guys talked me into it. The Simitar set will go up for sale somewhere soon. Upgrade time!

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

I'm still on the fence... All I need is the last film in the batch. I would jump on it, and sell off the other films, but I want the foil cover to match the others...

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

I loved Godzilla when I was a kid. $2.71 per film. That's good enough for me.

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

Only the outerbox has changed right? The movies should still be in the original digipaks or were those downgraded aswell?

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

Does anyone have any photos of the set they are currently shipping?

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

Let's hope we *both* win. I already own "Gojira", "Mothra vs. Godzilla", and "Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster". I picked this up *mainly* for "Godzilla Raids Again" and "Godzilla vs. Monster Zero" (aka "All Monsters Attack", "Invasion of Astro-Monster", and "Monster Zero") which also features Rodan, another favorite daikaijū. Together those 2 would cost almost as much as the set so the remaining 2 are pretty much a "gimmee".

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

Well thats bullshit! I ordered this set 2 weeks ago from amazon for $25.99 and now it goes down to $18! God dammit!

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

I feel your pain.. I actually ordered it for 25 dollars on March 6, 2011... 1 day before this sale...and it still hasn't been sent out yet.. I used the free shipping and it's just been listed as shipping soon.

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

^If it's not gone into the shipping stage, cancel the order and place a new one.

^^Same for you, DarkPhantom13. If it's been shipped but you've not yet received it just refuse the package when it arrives. If you already have it contact amazon CS with a polite request for a price adjustment. While they typically no longer do this it never hurts to ask as they'll do it on occasion if you ask politely.

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

That's my understanding. Only the box was changed. It went from the sturdy top/bottom as shown on amazon to a "slipcase" with the same art. The DVD packages inside are identical to the individual releases. This is strictly based on a single "review" on amazon as I've not been able to find *any* information about the repackage of the set other than that one post.

As it's now showing to be in-stock, those of us who ordered a copy will know soon enough. :)

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

well if it makes you feel any better I paid $45 like 2 years ago

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

Mine shipped this morning.

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

Yea but you at least got the nice sturdy box that it originally came with i assume. I got the new shitty one thats pretty much just a piece of cardboard wrapped around the movies. *sigh* Oh well no use in crying about it now.

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

I've been considering this since the original post but held off until today. It was one of my Quick Picks today for 18.04 so I caved at the .95 additional savings.

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

Had a gift card so I picked this up at Walmart.com for $18.96 plus shipping.

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

my wallet is in pain tonight because of you guys! thanks op.

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

Thanks. Great price, and I've already enjoyed the Toho Pack Triple Feature, Toho Collection: Icons of Sci-Fi, and Dogora.

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

Got mine today, just a plain box that looks like the outside of the other box. All movies inside are identical to the original releases and independently shrinkwrapped. Total steal in my opinion.

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

Thanks. Ordering right now.

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

Thanks again to OP. Great deal made even better by the free one
month trial of amazon prime :)

I apologize in advance if this is off topic.................but I wondering
if the price they have on the Rodan/War Of The Gargantuans dvd set
at $10.99 if that is one of the better prices that set has been seen at?

Thanks in advance for any insight/info.

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

You can check that yourself: http://camelcamelcamel.com/

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

If I enjoy this set-and I'm sure I will-what other similar sets should I consider? I already have the Icons of Sci-Fi: Toho Collection.

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

"Rodan/War Of The Gargantuans" - while not technically a set "Rodan" goes with the early Godzilla films.
and I'd say "Toho Pack Box Set - The Mysterians, Varan, and Matango" but it's apparently OOP with people asking insane prices considering each film is still in print as a single release - so go with the individual releases of those.
"Dogora" is in the general vein and also good, but not a set nor part of one.

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

The Mysterians was well-made but not Ishiro Honda's most exciting film, although I liked it more after a second viewing. I thought Varan the Unbelievable had a very good monster and an interesting setting. Dogora is interesting combination of crime caper movie and monster movie with a weird monster. Matango is a masterpiece.

Re: Amazon: GODZILLA COLLECTION $18.99
 

so i complained to amazon about the outer slipbox which holds all the movie, about it not being the one they shown on the site and they gave me 5 dollar promotional credit back
