I first saw this bundle of eleven titles when it was selling for $99.00. At that price it was a good deal. But for many months it has generally been listed for sale at $269.99. At times it was briefly somewhat lower, but always much higher than buying the same titles in other options. As I post this review you can buy the same eleven titles from Amazon in three box sets of three each and two individual titles for a combined total of $102.95.

This has to be one of the most ridiculous pricing schemes I have ever seen. Does anybody fall for this one? I think anyone that mistakenly purchases this thinking that it is the cheapest option would have a pretty good complaint against Amazon for setting up a trap people can fall into unknowingly.

I get that people are holding out, but there's no reason to rate this poorly because of it's contents.

Here's the facts:
The MSRP Stinks.
Amazon has been selling this set on deals for around 6.5 to 9 bucks per movie, which is pretty darned good.
It contains ALL blu-rays of bond that are available to date EXCEPT for the last two, which are technically still best-selling blu-rays, so to find them in a set is rare.

Having successfully avoided almost all bond film purchases on DVD, this is a great value --- if you tried to complete your set on DVD previously, I can see how you'd feel ripped off, but this is far from the double-dip attempt that people are making this out to be.

In short, if it goes on sale again and you don't have anything in the set, GET IT.

Yes, that's correct the box sets never bothered to include License To Kill or Man With The Golden Gun. The box sets also have the worst packaging this side of the 98 Cent Store, horrible flimsy cardboard pages that have a circular foam disc (that rips off) to hold the disc in place.
This way you at least get every available Bond in individual cases, with some form of artwork, and will look ten times better on your shelf.
The bad reviews? Just the usual complaints from people stating the obvious. I was personally so offended by the box sets (as a big Bond fan) I returned them to purchase the individual disc, and this is what you'll get here.

Waited a long time for these to be on a bluray deal. Never seen them look this good, especially Dr. No. I only wish the entire series was here. I definitely recommend.

For a true Bond fan, the Blue ray collection is a fabulous one that will keep one glued to the TV for a Bond-A-Thon anytime they want. So, invest in quality films like these that can be enjoyed over and over for 007 is always entertaining at any hour on any day at any age!

Well I won't lament about the quality Bond titles missing mentioned in other reviews but I was disappointed that there is no box for this set like the DVD Bond collections. It is just 11 bond movies shrinkwrapped together. I picked this up when it was $69.99 briefly.

I would gladly trade Die Another Day out of this set for Goldeneye (or just about any other Bond movie).

Peerless entertainment from the master spy. Beautiful re-mastering and encoding. Some look cleaner and clearer than they probably did in the theater, but all look better - much better. They sound better too. No need to outline the plots, if you don't know them by now, ask your Dad, heck, ask his Father! They've both seen them. But this is the ultimate way to enjoy them (thusfar). These diamonds are forever. Bring on the rest.

This is a great way to get a jump start on your Bond BluRay collection, but for $299, it is a non-starter. That is a high $$ per BluRay ratio - especially considering the lack of special features, etc. But I have seen it go on sale. I actually purchased this entire set for $69.99 from Amazon in June of 2010. Which was great. In all honesty, I think that price may have been a mistake as just a couple hours later the price was raised to $99 for the remainder of that day.

Bottom line, if it is in the Gold Box, it may be a good deal, otherwise skip it.

I own this 11 sets movie collection (Blu-Ray). Now that the franchise is not RIP, hope that MGM will release the others, making it complete, and may be sell it as ONE set. I will get it.
