And does anyone know how much Costco is charging for these - I may just end up getting them all if they have them at a low enough price, say, under $55.

My first two movies at the theater were Star Wars and The Spy Who Loved Me and I absolutely loved them both.

That's the one thing messing this up for me. I think the sets look great, I love the thinpaks, and the order didn't bother me too much, since I planned to reorder them all chronologically anyway. The titles listed on the spine throws a curveball to that plan.

They are loose in the box but don't rattle around or anything — I'm currently working my way through the set for review and hope to have something up either later today or tomorrow. Visually .... wow, just wow. The audio isn't quite as amazing as I thought it might be, but it's still pretty incredible. I haven't yet begun to wade through the supplements either, but at first glance, I'd say anyone who hasn't yet bought Bond on DVD would be silly to pass these sets up.

From looking at the pics above. I don't like how it's packaged, I mean the movies on one side and the booklets on the other. Very strange.

I went to walmart today and saw some of my former co-workers, and talked them into letting me see the Bond sets in the back. They're thicker than I expected, but specific titles on both sides kills it for me.
Heres some pics:

I wish they had of left the titles off the side of the box, and instead stuck them on a removable promo sheet on the back or something. I would have liked to put the in chronological order... can't really do that with the names on the box.

Looks like those pictures have resolved my shelving problem. I'll re-order them by release date in the boxes and only shelve the inner containers. I'll put the outer box portion away into storage.
It's not my preferred solution but it'll work in a pinch.

I'm finally purchasing the Bond movies on DVD with this new release. Althought, it would have been nice to have one big release set instead of four different volumes.
