Re: Classic Monster Collection from Universal - 10/2/12
Some news on individual releases. Universal is releasing in 2 waves. Wave 1 has single versions of The Mummy (1932), The Invisible Man (1933), Phantom of the Opera (1943) and Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954), due on June 4. The other 4 are planned for sometime near Halloween.
Hopefully this means a Wave 3 of the sequels will arrive sometime next year.
Pre-orders for the first wave are up on Amazon. They have a list price of $22.98 each.

Amazon has the box set priced at $65.99. Best Buy will have a new set for $64.99. Looks like either a re-price or a re-packaging.

Blu-ray.com just added their review for the single release of Dracula and they have a 9/17 release date. Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, and The Wolf Man should be available separately on that day as well.

Does anyone know if the individual releases will have the same special features as the set ? If they do, I'll get the individual releases instead of getting stuck with the Phantom movie that I don't want. I will just pick up the 1925 movie that everyone remembers instead.

Cool. That means that I could get the individual movies and not have to deal with the colour version of Phantom.

It would probably be cheaper just to buy the box set with all the movies than it would to buy them individually. I abhor Indiana jones and the crystal skull and I own it because of the box set, but it doesn't mean I have to watch it. 1 out of 8 movies that you don't like shouldn't deter you from getting the box set and it'll save you some bucks. Just my two cents.

I was at Best Buy today and noticed they had a 6-Disc Set on the shelves.
Looks like it does not include Creature From The Black Lagoon & Phantom of the Opera.

09/02/14 as stated above. I like the cover, but I'll wait for a good price drop.

I've been seeing the Universal titles at the store with the UV copies, specifically at Best Buy. They're awfully expensive on their own.

DVD or not, that is a good looking set.

Is it an upscale, or is there a real HD master for it? It's a shame they didn't do the boxes with all of the sequels on Blu like they did on DVD, but I'm sure it was much less financially viable.

I imagine it's only a matter of time until we get the sequels on Blu. This is probably a last ditch effort to make any last money off of the DVD editions.
