Why doesn't MGM release a Bond set like this?
I know that 20 DVD set would be outrageously expensive, but this damn thing is so cool, I wish the United States would get something as cool as they do overseas.

It is from Asia according to the seller.
I only hope we can get something like that when MGM is supposedly gonna re-do the Bond dvds

Could possibly be a fake?
From what I remember there was a limited European release. Also, if its Region 0 than most likely than not its a fake.
Im not much of an expert...maybe someone else know?

Just because it's Region 0 doesn't mean it's a fake. Lots of movies are officially released in asia as a Region 0 (from what I understand they purposefully do this so they can ship many of their products overseas since we don't get a lot of Region 1 asian film releases and because they quite often have big deluxe sets, such as this one, that aren't made anywhere else).
I remember hearing something about this some time back, so I'm not sure if this one is a fake for sure or not, but I'm thinking its the real deal, and pretty sweet looking at that.

Well, if you can find a Korean website, they'll sell you the 20 Bond flicks in a very nice box set that's the same size as about 8 normal DVD boxes stuck together. It has 21 disks (DADay is 2 disks) and well worth it. I have it on my shelf and looks very nice next to my Alien Quadrilogy.
The price is about the same but the shipping is a lot less. The movies are region 3.
If you need a link, then here you go:

Okay, so the pictures don't help you know its size, but it's about 3 LOTR EE boxes wide, same height and depth.

I'd be curious if anybody can find this set in any of the Asian online stores. I just searched dddhouse.com and hkflix.com and amazon.co.jp and couldn't come up with it. I am wondering what it would normally sell for - probably less than the ultimate price will be on ebay!!

Well when you click on the link it comes up "invalid item" so it does appear to be a bootleg that has been pulled!
Does anyone have the pic saves that thye could put up since I and other have not seen it?
