The Mummy set looks good, but I still find it completely idiotic that they included the two "House of" movies in the other 3 "legacy" sets. Just issue them together in their own package (with the Abbott&Costello flick since that was also a multi-monster) so people dont have to pay for them 3 times.

You sound anti-capitalistic or something. Anyway, these will eventually be discounted to around $20 each. I just hope the HD transfers are good on all the previously unreleased sequels.

I don't mind the double-ups, as Rory says, the sets end up selling for a really good price (not much more than a single soundtrack release), if they were released from Warner they'd be around $18 for each film, that's if they were ever released.

I wonder if 4 discs for the Mummy set is wrong, it was only three discs in the DVD set (& only two discs on my flipper set sans A&C).

$39.98, but that will drop just in pre-order.

Yeah, supersize everything. Waste the raw materials, take up more space on the shelf, etc.

On May 8th, the UK gets four Legacy sets released, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Dracula & The Mummy (Dracula & The Mummy a week before the Americans do). All around £25 each, still crazy prices at Amazon UK, but that'll sort itself out.

Still need the Creature Trilogy on Blu-Ray: Black Lagoon / Revenge / Walks Among Us. For me, the Creature films were the strongest as a whole out of all of Universal's classic monsters.
