So did I but I'm going to sell it new on eBay. I'll wait for the US set to come down in price to around $70 or $80. Overall packaging and presentation is much better quality, imo.

The coffin set is $65USD yet the ones on eBay are over $100+++. There really is a sucker born every minute whatever!

I am planning on buying the US/ Canadian set. Yes, it is quite a bit more money but I think the packaging is definitely a lot nicer/ classier.

Also, the UK set is missing one of the commentaries for Dracula.

Mikey Horror · 10-03-2012, 11:46 PM

I think the missing commentary is from the screen writer of "Dracula: Dead and Loving It". I can live without that. I think the coffin presentation is amazing looking and it was about $50 cheaper, so that was a no brainer for me.

Got mine from Amazon UK today. Package in real bad condition.Smashed and opened on both sides as if someone went through it. Blu in perfect shape.

Ugh. The thought of that horrifies me. Mine should be here later today. Fingers crossed!

Was yours delivered Royal Mail or DHL? I'm practically on the edge of the east coast and even have a PO box which should be a faster delivery time and I got nothing. This is bullshit. This is probably my most anticipated release ever. Fuckin' postal service, I swear to god. They couldn't deliver a letter to the clerk next to them behind the counter in a timely fashion. I really hate how Amazon.uk does not provide tracking.

That's why I occasionally pay more to buy fancy box sets locally.

I received mine from Amazon.uk on Saturday. "The Creature From The Black Lagoon" looks so awesome in 3D. It's not good enough to recommend buying a 3D TV for, but this collection is a must buy if you already have A 3D TV. So far I've watched "CFTBL", "Dracula" and "Frankenstein." Universal did a wonderful job. This is my favorite blu-ray set this year.

My Canadian set is waiting for me at home! I wonder if I'm the only person who plans on watching Phantom first, it's the only one out of this set I've yet to see.

I loved it, thought it was a fantastic film.

i'd say its the least of the films contained in the set, but considering the fact that its in technicolor, its probably the most visually impressive. if/when i buy the set, i wouldn't be surprised if it were the first one i check out.

My delivery estimate is Oct. 25th

I ordered it on September 13th too. Ah well, just a bad stroke of luck I guess.
