Woohoo...finally got my set yesterday. All in all they look good. The box is a bit disappointing, being cardbaord with a plastic band wrapped around it. The disks themselves are quite presentable and come with a booklet that has some intersting information in it.

Two things I did notice straight away was:

1) OHMSS spells Blofeld as Blowfeld. Other spell it correctly.
2) FYEO has a picture on the back of the Lotus under water from TSWLM.

Looking forward to watching them.

There are plenty of errors on the packaging and I'm annoyed they haven't fixed them.

The top-left corner on The Man With The Golden Gun's packaging is from Live and Let Die.

Oh, and also on that case, they spelt "heart-stopping" as "heat-stopping".

Someone really should have checked that.

Pretty basic stuff really. I wonder if they do plan to fix it up.

Only the Brosnan and Connery Bonds have been re-released, which explains the lack of a Moore and maybe Dalton/Lazenby box set.

Has anyone else noticed that the DVDs have been reclassified? For instance, Dr. No is now M15+ and so is Moonraker.

The censorship board doesn't know what they're doing. How can the rating change between releases of the same product? And Moonraker! Come on!

Haha! Really!?

Any chance of a scan, Brendan? I'd love to see it.

I actually looked at my Speed Collector's Edition 2-disc set last night. On the box it says the DVD is rated MA15+, but both discs inside it have an M15+ rating on it.

I hadn't noticed it before now [and I've had it for months!].
