You know how kids go through those phases where they're obsessed with a certain kind of toy franchise, then eventually they move on to something else? Right now, my niece loves Monster High and wants her backpack, lunchbox, all that stuff this fall to be MH.

Nice looking package. I would have loved for them to just upgrade all of the Legacy Collection sets (and do some of the additional classics) but this is a nice set.

DAY 1. GUARANTEED.
And I'm so glad the date is 10/2 instead of the old rumored 10/23. I want this set now. And that's a realistic list price for the set. Should be able to get it for $99 or less. I can handle that.
Wasn't there supposed to be some new extras with David J. Skal, or were we just assuming that?

I want! I want! I want!
Agreed on the earlier release date. I'm hoping to find a good pre-order deal so I can enjoy it through October.

For anyone who owns the Legacy sets - have all the extras been ported over? Are there any new ones?

I'm assuming the Creature From The Black Lagoon is "new" 3D (for capable TV/players)? Or do you think they're going the ol' blue/red glasses route...that WAS the way it came out in theaters, right?

There's no way they'd go with the old, cheap glasses when every company is trying to push 3D TVs and players now.

No that WAS NOT how it came out in theaters. Creature and all the other 3D films of the 50's used clear polorized glasses exactly like the ones we used today. Red/Blue anaglyph 3D was used for comic books and some TV broadcasts of 3D movies.

8 discs, list price of $159.99. Amazon's pre-order price will likely be $111.99 (30% off, like Hitchcock), with the Gold Box taking it down 5% to $106.39. Quite reasonable for nine films and over 12 hours of extras, plus what looks like a nice little book.

Nearly $500 just for Bond, Hitchcock and Universal Monsters, and that's with the various Gold Boxes applied!
