The War of the Worlds (1953) - When Worlds Collide (1951) (4K + Blu-ray Collector's Edition) [UK]
Release date: November 7, 2022 Purchase links: Amazon UK - HMV - Zavvi Price: £29.99 Notes: War of the Worlds on 4K UHD - When Worlds Collide on Blu-ray
All in paid £75 and that includes postage. So happy camper. Was not happy buying the uK pressing where you had to buy When Worlds Collide as Well
I was expecting some kind of crazy price. They're charging huge markups because of the packaging. No 4K of a single film is worth a hundred bucks.
You paying lot more by getting the Australian release than getting UK release
UK release you can purchase standard amaray edition for £19.99 or £29.99 for collector's edition
UK both Standard and Collector's includes both War of the Worlds in 4K UHD and a blu-ray of when worlds colliide as in 2 films
Australia release is just 1 film and way overpriced that's even before shipping is added
I really like the original art on the slipcover. So I may just get the standard 4k edition from Imprint in the future when it gets released. Then use a double disk tray to keep both discs.
Steelbook looks nice! If i did not have the original slipcover i would be all over this i guess.
Seeing that nr.1 on the spine makes me wonder if Powerhouse Films will do the same with the Indicator series, now that they announced that they will release 4k blu rays next year.

I'm getting it because 1/ It's a steelbook and 2/don't need When Worlds Collide as I already have the imprint copy... So the 4k special edition from oz is nice. Also it's great to get a special edition of a classic sci-fi film of that era especially in 4k. I wish we could get Forbidden Planet among others like that. Also judging by the blu-ray I loved the way they tidied up the special effects without jarring and removing the wires and I've been told it's even more impressive in 4k... Very few premium steelbook sets grab my attention but this one certainly did and I was amazed to grab a copy. It'll be sold out within a week... Very popular is that version of War of the Worlds.
