"The Omen: The Complete Collection" October 17th
According to www.dvdactive.com:
Title: The Omen: The Complete Collection Starring: Gregory Peck Released: 17th October 2006 SRP: $49.98 Further Details: Fox Home Video has announced the release of The Omen: The Complete Collection, which will be available on the 17th of October at a retail price of right around $49.98. The six-disc set will contain all five Omen films, which includes The Omen, Omen II: Damien, Omen III: The Final Conflict, Omen IV: The Awakening, and the 2006 remake of the first film. The original film will be represented in the collection by the recently released two-disc collector's edition, while the disc containing the remake will be identical to the disc that will also be available separately on the 17th. The other three films in the series look to be identical to those that were released a few years ago, with Damien and The Final Conflict each containing a commentary track and trailers. If anything changes we'll let you know, but in the meantime stay tuned for the artwork. |
Thanks for the news. I have the soon-to-be old set, without the remake, and I think that's where I'm going to leave it. I didn't see the remake, but I'll probably end up renting it. I'm still considering whether or not to get the 2-Disc set of the original, which I'm a big fan of.
|
I'm not a huge fan of any of the sequels... but that's a pretty amazing deal. I dropped something in the neighborhood of $20 for the 2-disc edition. It looks like for about $10 more than that (with some creative shopping), I'd be able to get 4 more films. Makes me a little pissed that I rushed out to buy the 2-disc now.
|
What a rip-off!!!!!!!!!! I bought the new collector's edition just a couple months ago and now they're releasing it in this set! We should all boycott DVDs until they stop doing crap like this!!!!!!!!!!!
|
I never saw the remake, but that's an awsome deal. Kudos for living up to the "complete collection" moniker.

Because Fox never milks any of their releases.
|
Not sure what to think of it yet. Would be an awesome deal if you didn't have the already released set. But since I do...not sure this upgrade is worth it. Of course, I'd be getting the 2 disc special of the original Omen, and the new one. I've always had my eye on the foreign one that folds out into the cross shape, and I believe one had the Omen Legacy Documentary included?? (Interesting DVD BTW)
|
Nice to see a box set include everything for a change. I have never seen any of the films but it looks like now is the time.
|
Glad I resisted getting that 2-disc release. Never seen the sequels, but I'll drop $30-35 for this set.
|
You know, i'm not a fan of the movies, but that is a very good price for what you're getting, considering you are getting the new SE of the orginial Omen + the 2006 version included. At $30-35 on new release week, that is a steal.
|
I was hoping for this, and not buying any of the Omen movies because of it. Ever since I heard that they were doing an Omen remake, I knew this was on the way. Glad to see my patience paid off!
|
I to am glad I resisted getting the 2-disc release. With FOX, your better off waiting a few months. I have made the mistake before and refuse to make it again. This is a super deal and even more super if thats possible since I waited. :)
|
I'm in the same boat, having bought the 2 disc Omen set last month. Oh well. Time to sell it back for credit towards the Complete Set. With the discounts that shops have when dvds are newly released, I expect to pay $39.99, minus the sellback credit for the 2 disc, and that's not bad at all for all of those movies.
Looking at the bright side, EVS |
I was about to pick up the box set at Wal Mart for $34.99. However, they didn't have any that were not all smashed up. Around the corner they had a display of the 2006 version with a bonus disc. I decided to pass on the box set and get the remake with the bonus disc.
|
I really hope you already own the original otherwise you've made a huge mistake! :P Will eventually pick up the boxset, but the only place I found it at today didn't have it on sale at all and a few other stores didn't get it in stock yet.

I went to a couple of stores today looking for this box (just to see how it was packaged, etc.) Can't find it anywhere.

MATT I already own the original boxset. I was going to get the new one so I could have them all in 1 fancy package. Right now they are lined up on my shelf as follows. Original Box, 2 Disc Original, 2006 Version, 2006 Bonus Disc. |
I'm also interested to see how it's packaged... is it in slimpacks like the Exorcist Anthology?
|
OK good...I had to make sure you didn't JUST pick the remake...if you've got the original in some form, you're good.

I've finally seen it live. I don't know how it's packaged inside (it's covered in cardboard on all sides), but I don't think it's thinpaks. It's disappointingly chunky. It may even be individual keepcases inside.
|
It does look to be Keepcases...I was actually shocked it wasn't thinpaks, since Fox has been loving those lately (me too!)...very big boxset.
|
My CC had 3 of them, and I picked up one of them. They are all in individual keep cases, so it is pretty bulky. Since I already had the CE of Omen 1, I just put my old copy with the slipcover inside the box, and it fit perfectly. Now just got to sell off one of them.

I've finally seen it live. I don't know how it's packaged inside (it's covered in cardboard on all sides), but I don't think it's thinpaks. It's disappointingly chunky. It may even be individual keepcases inside. After you open it it's just like your standard box set where the spines of the discs face out of the opening. That part is only initially covered by a piece of cardboard that is glued to said spines with that weak rubbery glue that's used in magazine ads and such. It's like a big bookmark. |
They did the same packaging trick with the Jayne Mansfield set that came out a month or two ago. That little glued on 'bookmark' is annoying, since I like to keep as much of the packaging as possible. That thing just gets tossed.
BTW, I don't mind keepcases. I know they take up more shelfspace, but they look better because they are more readable than the tiny thinpacks that are being used for television shows now. |
Hello All, I have the set here and opened, eash movie is in the standard keepcase, this set is about double the size it could have been. The Exorcist set is nice and compact, this set is HUGE and takes up way too much space! Great value though for 6 disks for $35, you can't beat that deal. The local Walmart had the new version for $17, for double that price you can get the whole series..

Bump so people know that they can get the boxset for $19.99 at costco.

My Costco was also selling it for $20.99 ($30.99 - $10). What's the point of not advertising the discount. If I hadn't read about it here, I wouldn't have picked it up!
|
It is difficult to find the real prices at Costco. They have these instant rebates all the time, rarely if ever have signage, and they don't show up if you ask to have an item scanned. They only show up at the register.
Thankfully, we have some good posters here in the bargain forum and you can usually find these deals in the Costco threads. A blind buy for me, but it looks like it will be worth it even if only the original is a good movie. |

I'm not a big Omen fan, but I couldn't resist this for $20. |
