Goldfinger - 50th Anniversary (Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]
- Thread starter Heche1981
- Start date
I have Blu-ray Steelbooks of Goldeneye/Skyfall
I have Blu-ray of Casino Royale/Quantum of Solace
I was going to get the Bond Blu-ray Box Set but the price is still to expensive even though its good value overall if you consider the number of discs in the box set
I usually go for box sets releases but with James Bond I prefer individual releases for the artwork
I have all of the James Bond DVD Special Editions and Ultimate Editions
I do want to see Steelbooks happen for all of the bond films as I'm surprised we have not seen this happen already in the UK
I know there was some individual ones released abroad but they stopped at releasing all of them
What type of Artwork would the rest of you like to happen if they release all of them
Original Poster Artwork
Art deco
Vintage Artwork
I would prefer they to do them in order starting with Dr No

If this was the first of a collection, I would like to hope it is poster artwork and not to clutter with too many releases in one go. It's bad enough Disney/Zavvi do this, we don't need 5 Bonds coming out the same week as another batch of Disneys. XD
And either way, they could end the collection in style with a steel of Bond 23 whenever that comes to Blu Ray.

signed up for notice, must have spine slash to match Goldeneye and Skyfall though
same here buddy.

If they decided to release all it would most likely be 1 or 2 a month
Bond 24 unknown title as of yet is planned for Autumn 2015 cinema release with filming planned to start in October 2014
So a Blu-ray release would be in Dec 2015 or early 2016
So if they went with 1 or 2 a month if would fit perfectly with 2016 for bond 24

A 007 steelbook collection could be problematic for a collector.
They have to be reasonably priced,the release dates staggered sensibly (not too often,but not too far apart - Even 2 Bond steelbooks a month would take a year to collect the whole set) and if they don't sell well enough,the 007 collection would just stop without ever being completed.

Ahh, didn't know you were another Bond fanatic Paul
Very much looking forward to a full set of Bond steelbooks with some very original artwork as you indicate, plus some new remasters to get rid of the pesky dnr etc on some titles - I have just the two British market releases - Goldeneye and Skyfall in Steelbook.
Also have Special Edition DVD set 1 to 20 inc the 2 disc Die Another Day, and the alternative (first) special edition Tomorrow Never Dies, plus the US Living Daylights - only version available for a time due to rights issues.
Ultimate Edition 2 disc - silver and gold slipcovers - 1 to 20
Ultimate Edition 2 disc - black slipcovers - 007 attache case edition 1 to 20 - I believe there is a later one which goes to 22 but haven't come across one.
Full set of individual Blus, but only 10 in slipcovers, plus the Casino Royale box set blu.
But please Amazon/Zavvi whoever they end up with - take it slow and steady - most of us are already groaning under the strain to keep up!
p.s. Goldeneye isn't the only one with dnr problems, plus a good few of the restorations look like direct lifts from the special edition dvds.

Same here although I also own the briefcase and a fair amount of them on Deluxe THX remastered US laserdisc.
Would love them to do it Potter style with some kind of collectors box to show off all the steels together. Trouble is soon as the next film comes out the box is obsolete.
I do actually have the silver 007 briefcase (probably didn't make it clear), with the 20 2 disc DVDs in their slips, along with the cards etc.
Oddly enough, though I have hundreds of LDs, I don't own even one of the Bonds on LD!!
As you point out, that's the problem with boxes - be great if there was some seamless expandable box - but we're entering the realms of fantasy there . . .
Oh dude you missed out, some of Brosnan laserdiscs were simply stunning. Especially Goldeneye which had beautiful art not seen since and came in a glossy gatefold sleeve. It was also the original version to contain all the extra's that have since come up on dvd and the blu ray, the Liz Hurley doc etc.
They did a THX run in the US of most of them. They came in white sleeves with the original poster art.
Yeah that really is the problem, the Bond franchise is basically never ending so any set is ultimately kind of a waste even though some have been really nice over the years.
The only worry I would have with someone like Zavvi doing this is that I want them all to be completely the same in design, and so far they haven't done that "Disney steels" The other problem is that some Bond movies just wouldn't sell very well.
If they did a very low run of maybe 2000 of each title released 2 a month with matching original poster art, that would be one seriously nice set. But then problems again when Sony release the new film and decide to go with non matching art lol!
With so many films, this really is the ultimate nightmare franchise to get right lol

It's the 50th Anniversary Edition

Thing is, they're rereleased the films countless times with new editions or matching cover art or complete sets and limited editions like the mentioned briefcase over the years on VHS and DVD so I don't think sales should be too much of a problem.
Hopefully the hardcorest of Bond fans should all have room for one more complete collection set, lol. XD

Ouch, the zavvi preorder price of £24.99 seems expensive. There's no mention of how limited the run is from what I can see either. Are they trying something new with the printing technique and using gold plating? Hmmm, doubtful!

I like the artwork, but I find it very lazy that they're using the same image on both sides. £25 is a joke too... especially if they eventually plan to release the others on steelbook. A huge pass for both myself and my wallet!
EDIT - It's now down to £21.99 on Zavvi (still too expensive imo).
