Superman: The Ultimate Collector's Box Set (13 Disc Set) - DVD Region 2

A fantastic set.. as indicated by the contents of each disc which are listed out in full below. Worth it for the cool box alone!

Great deal considering it's €68 if ordered from the CDWOW.ie domain! :eek:

Superman The Movie: The movie that makes a legend come to life. You know the story. The planet Krypton is doomed. Only one man, Jor-El, knows it and rockets his infant son to refuge on a distant world called Earth. As Jor-El´s son grows to manhood, he learns he possesses super-powers he must hide from ordinary mortals around him. It takes a big movie to contain the considerable talents of Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Jackie Cooper, Glen Ford, Margot Kidder, Valerie Perrine and at its heart, the most human portrayal of the Man of Steel, Christopher Reeve. Superman, an Academy Award winner (1978) for special achievement in visual effects, is more than big enough. Directed by Richard Donner, Superman: The Movie makes us believe this epic story all over again.

Superman II: A nuclear explosion in outer space has freed rebel General Zod and his evil cohorts from their captivity in a fragment of Kryptonite. Having been banished from Krypton for their treachery against Jor-El they now plot revenge on his son - Superman. Arch villian Lex Luthor offers his services to Zod, meanwhile Lois Lane has discovered Clark Kent´s identity. Will Superman surrender his superhuman powers to marry her or will he save the city of Metropolis? Original cast members from Superman create a blend of thrills, humour and humanity that makes this sequel great fun for the whole family.

Superman III: After Superman: The Movie's epic storytelling and Superman II's awesome battles, how could the first two hits be topped? In Superman III, meet Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor), a half-witted computer programming natural. For him a keyboard is a weapon and Superman faces the microelectronic menace of his life. Christopher Reeve reprises his most beloved role, deepening his character's human side as Clark Kent reunites with an old flame (Annette O'Toole) at a Smallville High class reunion. And when Superman becomes his own worst enemy after Kryptonite exposure, Reeve pulls off both roles with dazzling conviction. Incredible visual effects abound - but above all it has heart, heroism and high-flying humor. All in superabundance, of course.

Superman IV: Christopher Reeve not only dons the hero's cape for the fourth time in Superman IV: The Quest For Peace but also helped develop the film's provocative theme: nuclear disarmament. "For me, it's the most personal of the entire series," Reeve says. "It directly reflects what Superman should be, and should be doing." Superman does a lot this time around. To make the world safe for nuclear arms merchants, archvillain Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) creates a new being to challenge the Man of Steel: the radiation-charged Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow). The two foes clash in an explosive extravaganza that sees Superman save the Statue of Liberty, plug a volcanic eruption of Mount Etna and rebuild the demolished Great Wall of China. Your quest for superheroic excitement is over!

Superman Returns: After the battle with General Zod and his gang of Kryptonian super-villains, Superman (Brandan Routh) mysteriously disappears for six years. After searching for more possible survivors from Krypton and finding none, Superman returns to Metropolis to re-assume the identity of Clark Kent. Once he returns, he discovers that Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) is in a relationship and also has a son. Superman also discovers that Metropolis has learned to live without him, causing him to lose his motivation to fight and protect. To make matters worse, Superman's old nemesis Lex Luthor (Kevin Spacey) has devised a plan to defeat the Man of Steel, for good. Superman must put his troubles behind him in order to protect his lost love, and the city who lost faith in him.

tis a very cool box! (wish i had money)

Nunu

Brilliant! This is an amazing boxset - pretty much all the Superman material in one DVD collection. It even has Richard Donners cut of Superman2, which I've waited a long time for!

I had this pre ordered on play.com for €90 as my Christmas pressie(thought it was a bargain, cos it was €115 on cdwow 2 days ago)!

I've cancelled and ordered from the US instead. Saved at least €35.

Thanks Squill, you've made my day!:)

Edit: Whats the difference between this and the boxset in this link: http://www.cd-wow.us/detail_results_11.php?product_code=1042842
Is there any apart from the vast difference in price?

Lord Spence

anyone know if the region 2 set comes with the poster offer as in the region 1 set. will this still definitley ship to ireland

I'd really doubt it!

PS - and yes, it will ship to Ireland.

Smithers

great spot, but when i go to check up the order i get this

There have been no authorised orders attributed to you as a WOW! member.

samo

Their servers are out of sync at the moment - I've 2 orders that are appearing in order history with the confirmation number but no record of what it actually is. It should update at some stage today but otherwise email them or call to make sure its alright. Its happening quite alot recently though.

Smithers

randomchild

God I love this board....thank you so much!!

dave101

will they take the dollars out of the bank when ordr placed or order shiped?
its bl_eeden 4th of dec.

samo

They charge on ordering I'm afraid

Lord Spence

I put my order in for this boxset and Money came out straight away. I checked the site today and that boxset has now been removed and is no longer listed, I check my account and it list that I have something preordered but it doesnt say that it is the superman boxset. Was this an error by cd wow US and if so will they honour the purchase.

Nunu

Ye, not showing for me either on cdwow.us, but it does still show up on my order page on cdwow.com? The fact that it's not listed anymore at the bargain price could be a bad sign or else a few of us got very lucky!

Now $147 :eek:

€115.68

I think we got a great deal!

Nunu

Ye, but its always been listed at these prices aswell (see my post #3) just has a slight name difference ('collectors edition' as oppossed to 'collecters box set'). This has had me confused all along because they are the same boxset but with a huge difference in price?

Lord Spence

They have already taken payment from my account so by law do they have to honour there deal and send me the boxset for €55

82dgolf

Current Status; Despatched

Nunu

Me too!
Now, lets hope theres no customs charge. Although, even if there is it will still be a great deal.
Cheapest I've seen anywere else is €90 on Play.com. which i was more than willing to pay.

samo

Woohoo...mines been sent as well, rather pleased about that - just have to hope like everyone else is customs dont pick it up!

Basq

Kinda wished i'd order this now..

Our man in Havana

Mine is sent too. Looking forward to getting it.

dajaffa

Nunu

any1 that did miss out steer clear of the region 1 release
a lot of them had to go back etc people were not happy to see the r2 discs had more on them
theres an article on av forums on it too lads

Our man in Havana

Note however that the R1 release includes an extra disc with Bryan Singer's Video Journals for Superman Returns.

Also note that there are some problems with the R1 release. The Superman III disc is the old one and the soundtrack on the theatrical release of Superman: The Movie is the new remastered version instead of the original version. It's unclear at this moment if the R2 release includes the original version or not. It looks like the remastered version, though.
