Your Ideal Box Set

Raidenshred

Doing a bit of Xmas shopping the other day, I was in HMV and looking at the amount of Terminator box sets, I almost wanted to ask the staff if they had one without Terminator 3 in it
Also looking at the bookshelf-sized James Bond set, and the Harry Potter one that's going to obsolete soon as the next movie rolls around, I started thinking it would be kinda cool if they'd let you pick and mix your own box set.
What would you put together?

nothing, box sets and even dvds or BR are just dust collectors , megabytes ftw

Nahh prefer to have my disks man.

Box-sets that'd make great prezzies:

Star Trek II, VI, First Contact, Reboot plus, why not, Reboot II just for the hell of it

Firefly/Serenity double-pack (impossible, one's FOX, one's Universal)

Star Wars Original Trilogy with the remastered picture and sound AND Solo shoots first AND all the sh1te that was added in is removed. Lucas did an all-or nothing jobbie and I wasn't impressed.

The Original Cuts: releases of say Louis Leterrier's original cut of Hulk, Donner's cut of Superman II, Whedon's first version of Serenity

Man vs Machine Megabox: Matrix 1, T2, First Contact, Transformers, etc...

Really? I'd hit that with enough force to power Germany for a year.

Damn, but you have good taste. Ah, the impossible dream, a non-shafted version of Whedon's masterpiece.

Spaghetti Westerns
Terminator Quadology
Matrix
Ghostbusters
Lord Of The Rings
Hammer Horror (Brother has this one )
The Matrix Trilogy
The Supreme 80's action AmmoCase (Doesn't exist but it would have all Arnie, Seagal, Van Damme, Stallone, and Chuck movies. fùckin' A :pac:)
Aliens Quad

The best idea I've heard in a while.

Take a bow, sir.

The world at war and the BBC Blue Planet, etc boxsets. Don't really care for boxsets consisting of random films.

ahhh box sets! Love em!
Band Of Brothers Box set is stunning.
Aliens Quad has more extras than you can shake a stick at.
John Carpenter set is brilliant with his top movies in it (sadly I already owned them individually...still always tempted by it!)
Romero's Box of the Dead is class.
The West Wing Series box was selling in blanch HMV last year for under 100. All 7 seasons in this awesome presentation.
Laurel + Hardy one is epic too and selling cheap around the place.
American Dad S1-3 is goin in HMV for 20 quid.
(Oh and I love that the Jaws Box set is J2, 3, 4 without the first and classic original.)

A complete Laurel and Hardy box set would be nice.

Good Christ, that looks fantastic. So many of those I haven't seen.

Do you know whether it is region-free? Or cheaper anywhere? It's not on Amazon or play.com.

It isn't complete there is no complete Laurel and Hardy DVD collection and no matter how cheap the box set gets I've seen it at €50 this Christmas I rather keep my VHS and DVD-R's till a complete Laurel and Hardy collection of all existing shorts and features is released.

Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers and The Pacific in one BluRay boxset. Perfect.
