Before I consider what I'm going to do, I'd like to first read some of the reviews for the R1 UE versions because there are really just a few I really would like to upgrade. Also I'm hoping that they will do what they did with the original SE's in that that came as sets first than as individuals. I unfortuantely will have to wait another month to make my decisions...

Does anyone know if the Patrick Macnee-narrated documentaries on the previous issues are carried over to the UE set? Or if they're on the R2 reissues? They were, to me, the highlight of the previous set. I often watch them apart from the movies. If they're not on the UE, then it's a no sale for me.

Ted Kontos-
From what I've read they are incldued in the UE ( At least the other regions, I haven't read any reviews of the R1, they should be about a month away)...I too love those documentaries and often watch them.

Now I really like slimpacks generally, but in this case it would be disappointing simply for the reason that it would severely hurt our ability to sell off the films that don't interest us.

The last time they released some of the box sets they followed up later by releasing the titles individually. Does anyone remember about how long after the sets came out that they started selling individual titles?

last time they re-released the SE box sets they didn't do stand alones. The time before that i think it was simultanious with with each set that came.
Slimpacks are welcome in my book. If they aren't giving us a briefcase, I'll take the space saver

Cameron is correct about the LAST time. But the time before, I'm pretty sure that it was gap between the boxsets and the inidividual titles. Which makes sense if you're selling boxsets. How long exactly, I can't remember.

I'm starting to get that feeling that these are going to be in slimcases. That way, people probably won't try to sell off the unwanted movies individually.
Which really sucks. But hey, give it to MGM, they realize some titles are wanted more then others. They know this will sell better then releasing them individually.

I sold all 20 of the Special Editions in one sale last weekend in anticipation of these new releases. I can pretty much get all the new ones for what I sold the collection for. However, after having sold them I think I will just get 1 or 2 of the sets coming out in December and see if the others get released individually later. There are several I don't want on my shelf taunting me that I have to watch them because I own them.

Wouldn't it have made more sense to sell the collection in three sets of seven? If you include Never Say Never Again, you can create a set of seven Sean Connery DVDs. Then there's seven Roger Moore DVDs. And then George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan could make a final set of seven. Would've also made the sets a little more consumer friendly, rather than blatantly forcing you to buy movies you may not want.

Which is exactly the reason why it won't happen.

Ultimately, I think that's silly. There's a lot of Bond completists out there. And if certain segments of your series move slower than others (which is only natural when you're dealing with over 20 films), you just adjust that with lower retail shipments. For every 10 copies of Set #1 and 3 they make, maybe they only press 8 of the Moore set. Or, include some goodie attached on-pack to Moore, to encourage sales.
Lack of interest hasn't stopped Warner from releasing Superman III and IV. Or Supergirl. Or the Superboy TV show. They just ran with it, and I think fan's appreciated it. (I know I did.)
