Friday the 13th Collection (Deluxe Edition)

Excelente

Bel packaging, buona la qualità video, pur essendo master molto vecchi e già di bassa qualità all'origine, la shout è riuscita a fare un buon lavoro, peccato per il suono mono per i primi film, ma più di tanto non si può pretendere. La seconda versione delle cover a mio avviso è praticamente inutile.Da non dimenticare che c'è tutto quello riguarda Jason, compresi i film più recenti, freddy Vs jason ed il reboot friday the 13th 2009. Elogio al venditore che si è prestato a darmi intero supporto per una transazione veloce professionale ed amichevole.

All the movies in one place , great extras and a couple of unrated versions as well

This is my rundown of whether you should buy this collection in light of the problems reported by customers, whether you own previous box sets and my own buying experience.I ordered this from Amazon US and it arrived within a week, that's a week early. I paid just under £100, and because Amazon US clear customs fees, you will have no Vat/duty to pay in the UK. The boxset arrived in a small rigid box, not much bigger, with a little airplus padding included.In terms of what you're getting here: 16 bluray discs, 13 amaray cases, a hard case and a colour booklet. I own all the previous deluxe/limited edition F13th collections as well as other collectable memorabilia : the hardback Crystal Lake Memories book (Titan Books), the Making of Friday the 13th book (Fab Press), Crystal Lake Memories 4 disc bluray set (missed out on the limited edition with bonus dvd interviews) , His Name Was Jason dvd, the original R1 From Crystal Lake to Manhattan Ultimate Edition dvd set , the previous limited Complete Collection bluray tin, as well as the 8-movie bluray collection which was a cut price version. I also own the CD soundtracks (score only unfortunately) of parts 1-5, just wish the others were re-released in the same pressed (and not CD-R) format and that we got all those typically great 80s songs included for all those movies. Despite this I still picked this boxset up - see below*.Let's tackle the criticisms : problem discs - agree it's an oversight and a little hassle but just take 10mins to use the replacement programme (I got shipment confirmation within a day, just hope they actually arrive!), marks on discs - agree there were some minor marks on some discs but nothing too worrying and the marks on the bonus discs do clean off (for some reason the inside of the bonus disc case had a layer of dust/powder unlike the others, needless to say I cleaned it with a dry cloth), damaged sleeves - yes just one but not torn just a little crumpled, lack of new extras - agree for people like me who own all previous best versions (*see above) you're not gaining too much here but there are still great new extras to be had, strength of outer case - the case is strong enough but the real problem is the careless 'fans' who will slam this around and completely tear the shrink-wrap off and thus lose their protection - as evidenced by the countless neanderthals doing unboxing vids on the web (being meticulous with belongings is a key attribute of any true fan, for example the first film memorabilia I bought in my teens back in the 80s is still in perfect condition, nor do I leave my film collection out unprotected on shelves to collect dust and fade like most do), lack of uncut films - agree this is a major frustration and even though we have more deleted scenes here they aren't comprehensive - for example Part 2 (this is what happens when a major studio is involved with making/distributing exploitation films - Elm St 5 anyone?), damage in transit - either I was lucky or Amazon US have listened to criticism as even the corners of my slipcase were spot on and no amaray was cracked, clear instead of blue amarays - just an example of the lunacy out there, duplicate/missing films - no problem with Amazon US as all the films were present and correct (my mate who bought direct from Shout Factory suffered duplicate/missing films - seems Amazon bothers to check before dispatch as I've not read a single example of this happening on this website). One little point I want to make is I'm a little disappointed that the sleeve artworks aren't always 100% authentic to that of the theatrical/VHS ones (in particular part 5). In addition it would have been nice to have had a few Cds of all those songs featured in the movies over the years (none of which made it to the CD scores).So for the price I paid, I would say this is well worth it. It's not without it's faults: the minor hassle of getting corrected discs, maybe lacking in new extras, still no sign of fully uncut versions for all movies (they will probably never materialise for nothing other than politically motivated reasons, and not because the footage is truly 'lost'), but it's the best out there, and the only set to finally offer worthy packaging for each movie. What's the alternative? Stick with the cheaper 8 movie bluray set and miss out on the remaining films (personally for me, as someone who was around when the original came out, 1-9 are masterpieces, 10 is flawed with CGI nonsense but still good and the last film which feels authentically 'F13th' enough, F vs J and the reboot are typically post-modern and thus a big step down in quality, still good for their era, but don't feel like part of the franchise), or the tin (which I paid £87 for brand new and was riddled with problems, not least tightly held scratched discs and packaging that left alot to be desired). Buying from Amazon US proved to be a perfect transaction and experience for me. At the price I paid, it offered solid value for money, and the disc replacement programme was easily used. So all in all, do what a true fan would do and pick it up while it's still 'cheap' !!!UPDATE 17/5/2021. I ordered my replacement discs online on 22/4/21. The discs had UPS tracking but despite requesting text/email updates, the tracking only goes up to the discs arriving in the UK Airport. So for me, my discs arrived in Heathrow on 2/5/21. They took till 17/5/21 to arrive at my property, which says something about how professional and efficient Americans are compared to us. I had emailed Disc Shipment on a few occasions and they were very quick and courteous with replies. I am however, disgusted that the three discs are each shipped in paper sleeves then packed in a tiny, flexible card envelope (it didn't even say 'do not bend' or 'fragile' on it) . My discs did arrive in perfect condition though and after zipping through each disc, films and all extras, they played perfectly- this is a small miracle considering the shocking lack of care in how they were shipped. Your replacement discs can be identified by looking at around the edge of each disc - they will have a 'R1' at the end of the numbers. Be aware Disc Shipment say you will receive the replacement discs within 25 working days of shipping, so mine came early.

O box é maravilhoso, a qualidade de som e imagem dos filmes está impecável, do 1 ao 4 com novas restaurações em 4k e do 5 em diante mesmo não sendo nova restauração ainda assim estão com mais qualidade que as edições anteriores... E o melhor de tudo é que cada filme está em seu respectivo disco, nada de 2 filmes no mesmo blu-ray. Além de tudo isso ainda temos um farto material extra. Recomendo!!!!!
