it just sucks the packaging wont match up. i really wish there was a way to get the enpty boxs for vol 1 through 3 so i could just transfer the discs to the box sets, and just continue from there. |
Re: The Official Bond on Blu-ray Thread
I will also buy these two on day 1... steelbooks would be cool but oh well. Hope MGM comes through for You Only Live Twice & Diamonds Are Forever.

Yup, if there are no more steelbooks, the Bonds automatically go from a first day purchase to "ehh, when it's on sale in a few months."

Re: The Official Bond on Blu-ray Thread
iam willing to bet at some point we will still see a vol 4 set, of somesort it might not be for the 2 titles comming out the 12th but the boxsets are probably still comming, steelbooks though i do think are dead now for the remaining bonds which really sucks. in anycase i would still like to try and see if i cant get ahold of the vol 1 2 and 3 boxes (minus discs) to transfer my discs into.

And really, why would you want the Volume boxes? The movies are out of order. Either get the normal editions or just get empty Blu-ray cases and buy/obtain the slip covers for the previous 9 Bonds (like I have). |

Re: The Official Bond on Blu-ray Thread
i just prefer box sets thats just how it is in fact before i heard they were doing the steelbooks i had the boxsets on pre orderd.
bestbuy had indiacted they were going to be carrying future bond titles in steel book as well, though that has since changed, then amazon picked them up. so i really regret not going with the box sets, as for being out of order, the bond boxsets going back to dvd and vhs have never been packaged in order. and i cant say i have ever really watched any of the in order either. in quite a long time. when vol 4 comes out who knows maybe it will be a 4 disc instead of 3 packaging togeather license and golden gun with two other titles or perhaps they will figure something else out, its possible we could even see a set similar to the bestbuy exclusive (but in the same style box as 1-3) but who knows in the end i will still buy no matter what just wish i hadnt made the wrong choice in terms of which ones to buy in the first place.

So it is possible they will do a 2 disc Vol 4 since that would mean 6 - 3 discs and 1 - 2 disc to equal 20 total. However I think we would have known about Vol 4 already given its 3 weeks until they hit retail. At this point I feel Steelbooks and Volumes for Bond are dead.

Same here. If they're not steelbooks, I'm in no hurry to pick them up and will wait to find good deals on them.
BTW, I'm willing to bet anything that when they have all of the 3 movie box sets released they'll dump them into a complete box set eventually. Maybe I'll buy it when the price bottoms out. |
Re: The Official Bond on Blu-ray Thread
looks like theres no steelbooks for Licence to Kill and The Man with the Golden Gun.

Re: The Official Bond on Blu-ray Thread
Blerg. Oh well. Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace already weren't steelbooks, so it's not like my cases were uniform to begin with.
|
Re: The Official Bond on Blu-ray Thread
No Steelbooks means I won't be rushing out to pick these up. I'll get to them whenever. And if they continue on this path, I'll continue to hold off.

Re: The Official Bond on Blu-ray Thread
Anyone pick up today's 2 new releases - and if so did they come with Slip covers?

Re: The Official Bond on Blu-ray Thread
Yeah, but I also threw in Never Say Never Again, so I'm already screwed! :lol:

Re: The Official Bond on Blu-ray Thread
I have the all the Bond steelbooks except for Dr. No...anyone interested in trading the cases? My OCD wants some semblance of uniformity.

Re: The Official Bond on Blu-ray Thread
Have any new ones been announced yet?

Yes. That's why everyone's talking about them.
Just asking since I recently got License to Kill and Golden Gun from my buddy at Fox. |
Re: The Official Bond on Blu-ray Thread
Poor sales of the past two waves have pretty much killed them for the time being. They'll come out eventually...just not as fast as the previous 3 waves. We have what, 9 Bonds left?

I still need to pick-up License to Kill and The Man with the Golden Gun. |

Re: The Official Bond on Blu-ray Thread
Probably. They were releasing these too quickly anyway. I'd bet most people couldn't keep up. So now we'll wait a bit longer, while people have more time to purchase from the old waves, but soon enough they will put out the rest. It will likely just take a bit longer for the rest to arrive. It's not a big deal if your like me and still missing some and if you have any that are unwatched.

Doesn't seem like MGM has much on their slate. |
Re: The Official Bond on Blu-ray Thread
Iam sure we will see another wave sometime before the end of the year or sometime in 2010.

Re: The Official Bond on Blu-ray Thread
I agree, that it would be nice. but atleast we know when they do come they will look excellent.

2010 is a given, but another wave to wrap up some of the 'missing' titles in between some of the films would be nice.

Re: The Official Bond on Blu-ray Thread
They'll probably release some to coincide with the SE of Quantum of Solace, whenever that one comes out.

Re: The Official Bond on Blu-ray Thread
Just found this at commanderbond.net
apparently Mgm is going to reissueing the prior bond box sets at a new lower MSRP of 69.99 in Sept. www.commanderbond.net/article/6328 so perhaps if you havent bought them yet, you might want to hold off till sept to purchase them. |
