Monster Legacy

I'm trying to decide if I should order the Monster Legacy set. I've never
seen any of the movies in the set, only bits and pieces of them but I don't
remember a whole lot about them. Is it worth it purely as a collectible or
must have dvd set?

I certainly wouldn't consider it "collectible" as an object, per say. But
as I am fond of the films, it is a must-have DVD set, especially at that
price.
My enjoyment of the Universal Monster films developed when I was a child.
As you say you have only seen bits and pieces of them, I suggest you rent
one of the titles before you decide if they are your cup of tea.

Personally, I love most of the films that will be included.
I hesitate to blindly recommend it, though, only because I
don't know how *you* would like them, and I'd hate to make
you spend $80 (or whatever discounted price you find) on
something that you end up not liking.

However, it's worth keeping in mind that the Monster Legacy
Collection is a mega-set of three other sets being released
at the same time:

The Frankenstein Legacy Collection
The Dracula Legacy Collection
The Wolf Man Legacy Collection

You don't really save anything buying the mega-set over the
individual collections, so you might want to consider trying
one of the individual sets to see if you like it, and if so,
pick up the other two. I think the Frankenstein set would be
the best first choice, then the Dracula, then the Wolf Man.

I've seen the individual sets for around $22 and the Monster Legacy
set for around $56.

Well, that's bizarre. MSRP for each of the individual sets
is $27, for a total of $81, while the MSRP on the mega-set
is $80. A savings of $1.

But, yeah, I looked at Amazon, and they're offering only a
15% discount for the individuals, and 30% for the mega. And,
apparently, there's been so much demand for the mega that
they don't have enough to ship next week.

I received mine on Thursday from an online retailer that often ships
early. $76.98 cdn. The statues are a bit chintzy but overall it's a
great box with those statues being a nice bonus. I'll probably keep
the box displayed on top of the bookcase. "Frankenstein" appears to
be the same master as the Universal release, I don't have the original
DVD releases of the other films for comparison.

I went ahead and ordered it from Amazon. If I dont like them, it's still a
nice box set.

Why do you think the prices are bizarre? It's more bizarre to see DVD prices
at the MSRP. Using Best buy, Deepdiscountdvd, and Amazon never charge near
the msrp, especially the first week of release.

It's only a savings of $1 but you get the three mini monster busts also with
the box set.

On Amazon, it's a savings of $12.80 if you buy the set. Amazon sells each
individual one for $22.93 and the set is $55.99

Sorry I misunderstood you. I guess they have to charge more for the
individual packs to get the same profit margin.
