Yep, the ones from Amazon have slip covers.

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.

True, but at least the first 20 would've matched...

Yeah, but I also threw in Never Say Never Again, so I'm already screwed! :lol:

I have the all the Bond steelbooks except for Dr. No...anyone interested in trading the cases? My OCD wants some semblance of uniformity.

Likewise. The fact that they were releasing them in steelbooks is the main reason I was rushing out to buy them in the first place...

Yes. That's why everyone's talking about them.

A month later, anyone hear any news or rumors on what's next? Luckily i've just been buying regular releases so I don't care about the Steelbook stuff.

Just asking since I recently got License to Kill and Golden Gun from my buddy at Fox.

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?

Yes, 9 left.

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

I passed on those two as well (lack of Steelbook versions and no sale price the first week). Wonder if too many people passed which essentially delayed Wave 4?

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.

Ditto. More about the price than steelbooks for me. I got the first 2 waves so friggin cheap, thus expected to get wave 3 cheap as well...

Quite possible...

For me, it was just the price. I'm collecting the indivs with slips. I didn't plan on buying any Bonds, but that deal on Black Friday was too wonderful to pass up.

Doesn't seem like MGM has much on their slate.

Iam sure we will see another wave sometime before the end of the year or sometime in 2010.

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

I agree, that it would be nice. but atleast we know when they do come they will look excellent.

They'll probably release some to coincide with the SE of Quantum of Solace, whenever that one comes out.

Yeah same, I had no interest but Amazon's deal sold me. It wouldnt surprise me if that was a huge boost to sales for the first wave.

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.
