Re: James Bond Update

According to blu-ray.com, it's in the section called "Mission Dossier."

Re: James Bond Update

Are there any known problems with On Her Majesty's Secret Service (other than George Lazenby )? I seem to remember there being some talk when the DVDs came out several years back that a line or two of dialog was missing? I still have my widescreen VHS copy of this (never upgraded it to DVD); is it safe to go Blu?

Re: James Bond Update

Was finally able to pick up GoldenEye & Octopussy from Walmart. But they did not have Diamonds Are Forever in stock. Was going to order all 3 online first but shipping was almost $9 + the tax. So now & am still missing the last one from Walmart and the 3 from Target.

Can't you do free site-to-store? That's what I did with Octopussy.

Re: James Bond Update

Just picked up The Man With the Golden Gun, only five to go to complete the set.

Skyfall Movie Money code
Snatched up by trespoochies!

If you use it, say so so I can remove it.

The problem you're referring to affected the initial release of the James Bond discs in 1999/2000. The problems were not present on the Ultimate Editions or the Blu-rays.

I was lucky and got Diamonds Are Forever at the Keeaumoku store. They had 2 copies of each title when I went there. For the Target titles, I had to get them at a California Target store when I was there for a business trip.

Re: James Bond Update

You can't order Spy Who Loved Me and You Only Live Twice at bestbuy.com (unless you do a local store pickup) but you can buy all the other Bond titles online?

I would have to go to 2 different stores if I do a store pickup.

Thank you! Wow, I can't believe it's been over a decade since the initial DVD releases.

Keeaumoku is a little out of the way for me. But I do have a friend who is going to check the Kunia & Mililani Walmarts for me.

Re: James Bond Update

Damn I never realized that Never Say Never Again demanded such an outrageous price. I just happened to do a search last night for Bond Blu-rays thinking of just ordering the ones I don't have instead of buying the big box set and it's going for hundreds. Ridiculous. The film isn't even that great either.

Re: James Bond Update

Those people know it is rare and want to make a profit.

I saw some Ebay sellers selling the Best Buy Exclusives for $24+ each.

Tried to use the other code, but someone else has already redeemed it without saying so. Thanks anyway!

I am not sure if I would like this.

Someone from another forum posted that the Australian Box set has been replaced with a digistack.

Oh, dear! That's really shameful at the price they're asking for this set. What terrible packaging.
