Hmmm, Not really, 2 disc superm returns will be at least $23.99 the first week.... then the donner cut $19.99, 4 disc superman 1, $24.99-$29.99, then 2,3,4 at least $19.99 each, PLus the $10 superman documentary. So well over $150 worth for $100 and I am sure you'll be able to get it best buy/Target for $80 the first week. So thats less then $7-8 a disc

oh and for region 4 people I know there is the same set in a tin lacking one documentry so a total of 13 discs in Australia saw it at Ezy canceled that order to get this region 1
they have all the cartoons, half on the SMI, and the other half on SMII

I soo want this, but there is another boxset like this but doesn't include Superman Returns and some extra goodies, I am so confused now...

According to the Supermancinema website at http://www.supermancinema.co.uk/daily_planet/dv... the 3 additonal documentaries you mentioned will also be included on the U.S. releases on Disc 12.  So, really the U.S. 14-disc version is the best value for your money.

I sincerely hope you're right! =P

Cus every other place I've been checking fails to mention the three documentaries I'd REALLY like to see attached to the set!

Thanks for the heads up though, you've probably just saved me enough money to grab another DVD that month

Cheers!

Fortunately, my copy of "Look up in the sky!" was purchased @ Futureshop which made it a 2 disc limited edition that contained a 2nd disc with all of Bryan's Journals anyways.

So I'm sorta leaning more towards the Region 4 edition- -...Especially since the art work for it also seems to be more Christopher Reeves oriented than the Region 1.


If that's the case, I may go for the R4 release as well (if it's not too much more). I have the 2-disc LE that I got from Best Buy so I already have the video diaries.

Edit: Nevermind, looked at the price at Ezydvd and that alone is $180US, I know it'll be cheaper elsewhere, but I doubt by much. I think I'll just pay the $70-80 at Best Buy...

I can't help myself.... I just have to gush over this set again...

So so horny

Maybe this is why Warner did such a despicable job with the individual movie releases, just so that we'd buy this awesome set.

This will be a day long remembered. This set changes my November buying priorities around.

Eric B wrote: I can't stop drooling over this set. Does anyone know how much this thing will retail for?

Title: Superman: The Ultimate Collection
Starring: Christopher Reeve
Released: 28th November 2006
SRP: $99.92

I have found them to be pretty reliable when they post the Suggested Retail Price. My bet is that this set can be had for 80 bucks, that is if they don;t raise thr price.

I was going to buy my brother the Christopher Reeve's 8-disc set for Christmas. But, hey, screw that. Now that there's this 14 disc collection with all the Superman movies, I'm buying him this one. He bought part 1 and 2 individually when they got on the Wal-Mart shelves when Superman Returns came to theaters. But, he'll still like this set even if it has those two in it. I might even feel generous and buy the Supergirl dvd to go with it for him. Heck, I might even have to buy me this set as well. Can't wait.

EGAD!!

Expensive? In terms of DVD pricing, this is a steal. Ordinarily you'd spend $20 each on the DVD's seperately, maybe a few bucks cheaper at places like Best Buy on the first week. So, 6 movies would run you the route of $120. Take into the account that the SRP is $99.92, you can expect that Best Buy will be able to afford to sell it for much cheaper. $80 tops at Best Buy.

OK, but I'm not that spree-happy with DVDs. Should make a great Christmas present if announced for R2.

OH... MY... GOD!!! THIS IS SUCH A SWEET SET! I`ll be all over this. Can`t wait for the 28th of November :D :D

I committed hard core to only buying "Superman II", "Superman II - The Donner Cut" and "Superman Returns"... THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!  I already own "Look, Up In The Sky" too, but who cares!  This is the best Box set I have ever seen produced.  

My only complaint (and it's a BIG one) is that "Superman III" is not having it's picture cleaned up and remastered, nor it's sound remixed into 5.1 Dolby Digital. That is bad, very bad.  "Superman III" is loved by the fans, and was VERY financially successful for WB.  So why the slight?  We all understand why they are not doing anything for "Superman IV" (does ANYONE like that film?)  But to slight "Superman III" like this, tarnishes this whole box set, and does not make it 'complete' the way the fans want.  

I am all ready to hear people say "They finally announce the box set, and people are STILL not happy!"  There is no excuse or reason for not remastering the video and audio for the third film.  It is just not acceptable.  we might as well hold onto the 2001 release and get the ones we need individually then...  If they do the box set the way fans want it, we will buy it regardless of the price.  At least that is my stance.  I prefer the box over the individual DVD's - if done right!

YES YES YES! What I was waiting impatiently for! God i'm so happy now. I'm so happy I could buy TWO of them!

Looks like this is the way to buy the films!

Knew this would turn up eventually. It'll cost a fortune to import this sucker, but I'm there all the same. Big fan of the first two films, and I'm looking forward to seeing the Donner cut. I also enjoyed SR for what it was, although Superman III and IV are a bit lame.

SWEET, This set is AMAZING. I love the Ed McGuiness drawing of superman on the booklet. I think he is the BEST superman comic books artist ever. This tin is gonna be so cool. GREAT job Warner Bros.

Clavius wrote: Why even bother releasing that other abortion of a box set when this will be on the market? AWESOME!

That other box is specifically called the Christopher Reeve collection so presumably they're aiming that at people who just want the original films and not the new Bryan Singer one. Plus that other boxset will be $20 cheaper so will probably get more casual purchases coming up to the festive season.

Anyway the more I think about it I really wish they could throw Supergirl on there and make it a 15-disc set (I know I'm getting greedy)! That film is firmly set in the world of the Salkind movies and it's certainly a lot better than Superman IV!

That aside I can't wait to get this set - and getting Bryan Singer's video diary is an unexpected surprise. I didn't buy the Amazing Story of Superman DVD because I knew it was going to be in the boxset but I was gutted when I found out that Best Buy had done an exclusive video diary DVD with it!

Plus the Superman II special features disc has a new featurette on the Fleischer cartoons!

Can you tell I'm excited about this boxset - thank you Warner Bros!

About frickin' time they announced this! So this has everything that is being made available seperately except for the Supergirl DVD - right?

Slightly upset that I won't get the posters (as I'm in the UK but will be buying the US release) but I can't complain as this set definately gives me enough reasons to pick it up even though I'm double-dipping on a lot of it!

Also anyone know what that Superman Returns newspaper thing is in the picture?

Now that is some good art.

Sublime Package!!!

OMG!!!!  BEST DVD NEWS ALL YEAR!!!  (Actually, ever, really... for me, at least)

I honestly thought this wasn't going to happen.

I LOVE YOU, WARNER BROS.!!!!

Looking at both the Christopher Reeves Box Set of the Superman movies, and The Ultimate Collection which one is better? Is it this one because it contains Superman Returns and extra discs?

So, it has Superman 78, Superman II (both versions), plus III and IV and Returns and all the documentaries. Cause, wow, I'm there, and it's only $100! Wow, that's about how much I was probably going to spend just on Returns, The Movie and The Donner Cut of II. But if I can get that much more for only a few bucks extra than I'm definitly there.

Holy. C**p. Now THAT'S more like it Warner Brothers. Now I see why you've made the artwork for the seperate films so c**ppy - so people will buy this instead. And I'm sorely tempted.

Now THIS is what I'm talking about! Under the Christmas tree this will be

3 and 4 have their camp value, worth at least once or twice for a few chuckles.

They're not good movies, but I have a soft spot for them.

Thank you WB. You have restored my faith.

Now THIS is more f-ing like it!!! That is some gorgeous packaging.

Why even bother releasing that other abortion of a box set when this will be on the market? AWESOME!

wow, if it's cheaper than the SRP on its first week, I am on that puppy!!! Wow, that set sounds awesome, perhaps I'll put it on my hopeful Christmas list.

Screw the Reeves set, this one is damn nice!  I'll be picking this one up, for sure!  (That sucky artwork is nowhere to be found, instead its been replaced by CLASS).  Classy artwork....

Well, after reading all the comments from American DVDActive readers complaining that we Australians were getting the uber-set and they weren't... looks like you get a mail-in poster offer (which Australia definitely won't get as we didn't get the King Kong 1933 offer of a similar nature) and a 14th disc with Bryan Singer's video journal for Superman Returns. I guess I better see if I can still download the Superman Returns video journals from that website.

Thank you very much Warner for giving us a good COMPLETE superman box set.  They definitely have my $ this time.  I wasn't gonna buy all the individual releases buti will gladly fork over between 60-75 bucks on this release which looks to be wonderful.

Why? Did you like any of them? If you didn't like any of them, I don't see why you should waste space on your shelf with movies you don't like. Even though the set is uber-cool with its tin packaging.

Looks like a great set. November 28th is a great day for Superman fans

HOLY COW! That is an awesome set, at a pretty damn awesome price. It'll be around $70 at Best Buy, I'm sure.

wow mr. collateral was right.
this will be a great gift for true superman fans. I just need the first two movies and "returns" so I'll have to reluctantly pass on this

me not like Superman.

But I have to agree that the set looks great.

I would love to see BoBoi face when he'll see this

Holy S**t. I'm so in.

I don't even like these movies and I'm tempted by this.
