James Bond Boxset for July
I'm thinking of purchasing this but need to know if these are the final editions that have been in the works for sometime or are those ones still awaiting a release date.

Thanks

Fox released special "head" packaging for The Planet of the Apes set in the US that was the same as ones featured in the UK and Japan for I, Robot and Alien Quadrilogy. A large majority thought the gimmick was stupid.
A lot of people also complained about the Battlestar Galactica "Cyclon" head and "Homer" head packages because they did "fit" on the shelf with the rest of their collection. Folks on this board also refer to the "Mars" tin for Total Recall as a Baboon's butt.
It seems that folks in other countries take great pride in their collections and want them to stand out. Americans, on the other hand, want packaging that looks and feels the same as the other things they have.

But yes, for the most part, special packaging confuses and frightens average Americans.

As for the Homer head, as was pointed out, people hated it because it was a piece of crap package. Before it was released, the buzz was almost universally positve.

Gimmicky packaging looks cool but isn't practical when space is tight. Besides, if a collection has more than one (or maybe two of these over-the-top packages) it stops looking like a DVD collection and more like a toy shop. And in an ironic twist, the more of these special packages a person has, the LESS it (the individual package) stands out.

I hate nonstandard packaging. First because my purchase cost is going towards the box instead of content. Secondly because I've set up my storage space for standard size stuff. I put the CDs from Cream: Those Were The Days and the DVD from Repo Man Tin into standard boxes so they fit. The non-standard packaging is in the closet.
Besides, I designed and built my CD and DVD cases myself, and they should be what people notice.

For the life of me I can't understand why the movie companies can't issue the LE sets in ALL countries. Do you actually think the UK will buy more of the briefcase 007 sets than the US? I don't think so!

Any guesses/expectations/info on whether the special features from the old, OOP Bond DVDs will also be available on the 2006 releases? I am trying to figure out whether to hold on to some of the older Bond DVDS.
Thanks in advance.

Sony might own "Casino Royale" and "Never Say Never Again" but that doesn't mean that they or EON want those titles included with the EON films. As a matter of fact, all evidence points to EON refusing to include them.
I'm not sure about "Casino Royale" but MGM has rightfully treated "Never Say Never Again" like a red-headed stepchild ever since they aquired it. They released it on DVD but the MGM logo is nowhere on the packaging.
Their mentality in regards to the "unofficial" Bond films is pretty much "they're available if you want them but we don't care about them".
