Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection coming to Blu-ray Oct. 2nd 2012!

[Centurion]

Price went up when they started selling so many.

 

[Russell1982]

That's what it seems like. No way I'd pay that though. Getting close to double the price of the regular edition.

 

[The Monster]

Well the Coffin box must be a big hit because look!

Is that an American release? If so, why is it cheaper than the standard BD release? Im confused.

I've watched wolf man and Frankenstein so far, both with stunning PQ.

Ah, gotcha. Too bad.

Dammit! I think I missed delivery today, but can't be sure. Two packages were attempted here by UPS, so I'm gonna try to get them today. Put in the request with UPS mad and will wait for the apparent phone call on where and when to pick these two packages up...

 

[Kuzeh]

Dang! Looks like I waited too long to snag it

Ditto...

Just ordered mine!!
! $62.00 shipped!!

 

[furystorm]

Neither of my packages with UPS was the set. Which is actually good, because when I went to pick them up today, the lady behind the counter totally dropped the small one that might have been the set.

I really dig the ineptitude we are surrounded by these days...

 

[siquisiri]

Just got a UK edition Coffin!!!!..
I dont get the price difference though?? BOTH Usa and UK are the same region free no?
Why the $30 difference and longer wait time for the USA edition?

 

[Anton Phibes]

Because the USA got screwed this time around. It happens every now again. Look at it as karma for all the times the Brits have to pay duties and massive shipping fees to get American collectibles onto their shores.

Heh, true.
I forget sometimes and complain about shipping rates from Sideshow.
But you can't blame me. They're only a 30 minute drive away from me, but they don't allow pick-up at their Thousand Oaks location.

You're an absolute star. Thought they wouldn't get anymore. Especially at that price. Thanks for the heads up.

Awesome!
Congrats on a great set and price.

 

[furystorm]

Got it tonight. And boy did I need this after the long day I've had with another to come tomorrow. I'll concur with Waller about the poor quality of the packaging, but I'm happy to have this set on blu anyway.

PM incoming DW!

 

[furystorm]

Okay!

These are sooooooooo worth the upgrade.

Dracula looks amazing. This is going to be a memorable Halloween season of viewing these classics again, for the first time.

Seriously folks, these look amazing.

So wait, is the standard UK box set the same as the coffin version set except for the fancy packaging? Can I order this under my Amazon US account or does the UK site require a new account? I'm heavily considering ordering this from the UK for the better deal and superior packaging. It actually has plastic trays for the discs, rather than those awful cardboard slots that the US version has.
