What are the most essential box sets to own?

[asimpson2006]

for anyone who cares the elm street collection is on amazon for $25 bucks! i really cant believe that. i paid $129 when it came out, this one hurts.

Is it $25.00 through a Marketplace seller or Amazon.com itself?  If it's through a Marketplace seller it could be a bootleg.  Do you have a link to the elm street collection.

EDIT:

After I did some searching on my own it's legit.

The ones I own include:

Gamera Limited Edition Box Set (1995)



The Godzilla Collection (which, alas, does not contain all of the Godzilla movies)



(Already mentioned)
The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition) (2001)

The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition) (2002)

The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition) (2003)



If you don't already own the LOTR trilogy (and why wouldn't you?  ), they combined all three into one box set:

The Lord of the Rings - The Motion Picture Trilogy (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition) (2003)

The only movie box sets that I own are the Star Wars Special Edition that came out a few years ago, and the Alien Quadrilogy.  Though I am thinking of selling off the Star Wars Special Edition box set that I have since I bought the most recent release of Star Wars that has the original films and the 2004 special edition version.

Yeah, even the list price of $60 isn't too bad.  $130 was too much for me though, but that was back when DVDs were much newer.

I just wish the Friday the 13th Box Set would drop to the same level.  Still way too much considering the quality of the box set (it's not nearly as nice as the Elm Street set, and on amazon it lists at $50).

I have to say, it really shows that the New Line people care a lot more about the Elm Street series than Paramount does about FT13th.

NO to the friday box set for two reasons.

1. they are not uncut
2. 3 is not in 3D

and 9 and 10 arent in the set. 

QUE? Only part 5 is cut (Or so I hear, not having other releases to prove otherwise), you have the option of viewing some scenes in 3D in both 3 and 6 (Or... So I hear, not trying the 3D to prove so), and including Freddy vs. Jason (Which is the only "Nightmare" movie not included in the set) there are only 8 movies :P .

On the original topic, I have a special admiration for the Puppet Master box-set, although it is HIDEOUSLY overpriced for its quality (subpar picture, and lacking last 2 parts, but it does include the trailers and some nicely informative making-ofs).

Despite not having access to it, I also endorse the (Sadly, region 2 exclusive) Phantasm-Sphere collection for expansive extras and excellent packaging. ;) Here's hoping for a larger golden sphere with the release of Phantasm V!
