James Bond Ultimate Edition: (Pierce Brosnan set only partly UE)

(1/5) > >>

techdude:
Viva has released the Ultimate Edition (2-discs) of many James Bond films.  What's odd is the pricing....  As Allanmandy has pointed out it's 450 buy-one-take-one during the MOA halloween sale.  But I'd seen it for 350 each, non-sale price.  But what's odd is that they also package them into Sean Connery box-set and Pierce Brosnan boxset with the six-film Sean Connery version going for 3,000 and the 4-film Pierce Brosnan one for 1,500.  At 350 apiece, six films is only 2,100, so you are paying 900 for a cardboard box that's not even limited edition!

allanmandy:
Viva is known for jacking up the prices for their box sets. But yeah, the quality of those cardboard boxes leaves a lot to be desired and is definitely not worth the hundreds they charge more.

techdude:
So far the titles I'd seen are the following:

Sean Connery:  Available singly at Php350@ or all-six in a boxset for Php 3,000 (do the math!)
01    Dr. No
02    From Russia with Love
03    Goldfinger
04    Thunderball
05    You Only Live Twice
007    Diamonds Are Forever

Roger Moore:  Php350 each, wala pa boxset
08    Live and Let Die
09    The Man with the Golden Gun
11    Moonraker
12    For Your Eyes Only

Pierce Brosnan:  all-four boxset at Php 1,500 (Astro) or 1,200 (Odyssey).  Didn't see individual releases. update: Now I know why...read next post...

17    GoldenEye
18    Tomorrow Never Dies
19    The World Is Not Enough
20    Die Another Day

Also old single disc releases for some other Bond films like A View To a Kill restocked for 299@

21 Casino Royale (Available from Magnavision, previous release)

**The number denotes the chronological order of Bond films as released on the big screen.

The UE's are housed in standard Amaray (clone) with one disc to each side.  The standard issue from Viva and Magnavision.  Black instead of clear but without the bubble wrap insert.  So beware of loose discs!

techdude:
Update!  Just opened my Pierce Brosnan boxset and it's labelled Ultimate Edition on the box but inside only Tomorrow Never Dies is UE, the other three are Special Edition (old release) with Die Another Day being 2-discs and the others being one-disc! 

False labelling!  Looks like I will have to return this one.
