I just hope the UK boxet will be somewhat different from this...

I agree. Should the UK version have normal packaging, Amazon.uk gets my cash.

I don't mind this "book" packaging. The Planet of the Apes "40-Year Evolution" blu-ray set is packaged in a similar manner and it's pretty cool.

I just don't want to end up scratching the discs. I end up putting them (Kubrick, Star Wars, Alien & Battle Royale) in normal blu-ray cases to fit with the rest of my collection anyway.

It's doubtful it'll be different, since Amazon.uk displays a product photo with the book packaging also.

That figures. I need this set. I guess I'll be separating the discs by the Bond (i.e. 5 disc amaray case for the Sean Connery films, 1 for George Lazenby, so on and so forth).

That was the case with the Stars Wars set and in the end it was different...
Let´s just hope Amazon UK is just using the picture of Amazon US.

I don´t say it isn´t cool... and a great display thing.
But in the end I just think about how to avoid scratches.

I've removed/replaced all of the discs in the Alien Anthology numerous times without introducing scratches. I love the book packaging. It's elegant, unlike blue amaray cases.

That's not what the main problem is though. My Kubrick set for example was packaged so tightly that I needed to exert force to initially remove each disc thus scratching each and every one in the set. Same thing with discs 3 & 4 from the recent AB Battle Royale Collector's Edition. My Star Wars & Alien discs didn't scratch, however I still put them in amaray cases to be sure.

If this is the final art for the Bond 50 for all countries, amaray cases are a solution, but in the end a lackluster one.

Every set of every movie released should be beautiful, but at the same time pratical.

Agreed. And unlike DVD, light scratches just aren't a danger due to the protective coating.

I hear what you're saying, but with the cost of the Boxset considered ($100 for Kubrick for example), I didn't want to risk any problems down the road. I fear something similar to the disc rot problem AB had with their DVD's as well as the disc rot problems Synapse has experienced with their blu-rays.

Just watched CASINO ROYALE (2006) again and was floored to see that neither the Collector's Edition BD or the 2-Disc Special Edition DVD have the Teaser or Trailer. Now I will be pissed if they recycle the CR disc. That is a huge omission.

side note:
I am sick. I really am beside myself that I can't watch a high quality version of the Teaser. I think the reason I never noticed before is that the previous times I watched CR was with a friend or brother. Watching the teaser is part of my Bond watching ritual.

As I've stated on other forums Zach Snyder's blu-rays don't include the trailers either. Drives me nuts.

I'm hoping there's a chance that the set will come with a movie pass for "Skyfall". Not that it's a big deal but given the price of the set especially when some of us have already bought half of the Bond films on Blu-Ray once already and the bad economy any type of savings is a good thing.
