Idk what wb are thinking with these prices.. £38 and £60 for a catalogue steel and ce. That's over a 25% increase. Madness.
At this rate we'll need to find another name for premiums with these CE sets coming in more expensive.
Particularly the WB sets. They're nice, but they're not premium at all. They are economy through and through. At least the Uni sets did often boarder on premium content/quality.
Yeah I’m never giving £60 to WB or Universal for these sets. Disgusting price for 66 year old film
What an absolute joke of a price. WB and these UK retailers have now become scalpers themselves lol.

Despite that it says " FILM IN 4K UHD AND BLU-RAY " Could these people please do there jobs properly.
Never seen or bought this movie on any format, this seems like a good set, but they've confused £ with $ in the price...
Maybe we'll be able to get it for half of that from Italy?

Folded posters are a waste of paper, and there's only 2 good cards here.
Prior studio Deluxe DVD and LE BD boxsets had more, better cards and a large, wide artbook:
That Blu-ray set can still be purchased for about £25, which is what I think I'll rather do.
