Default 'Rambo' (Box Set) -- pre-release buzz

As if May 27 didn't have enough Rambo in it, Lionsgate has just announced a Rambo Box Set:

http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/rambo_bs.html

Unfortunately, only the first three movies are in it, and there are no new extras -- just the same versions as before.

However, at $49.95, it is quite a bit cheaper than buy each disc separately.

Too bad I already bought the first Rambo. That blows. Depending on the price for the movies individually it still may be cheaper, or as cheap, to buy the box set just for Rambo II and III.

I was very surprised at the PQ of the first Rambo. I was thinking, "Its an 80s action movie it isn't going to look good....wha....what??? This looks awesome!" Because I got Full Metal Jacket and the PQ wasn't too great, but then I learned of a Blu-ray re-release of FMJ and it fixed the PQ.

msrp i think someone said was gonna be 19.95 each so 40 for two won't be bad, considering amazon may promote 17.95 or something.

I hope so, since I already have First Blood on BD. Let's see what Amazon has each of these at when they are listed.

THe individuals will start at 19.95,, and probably will be included in an Amazon price discount shortly for 17.95

I think the cover art looks great. Some of the best I have ever seen. Really sets the mood for the Rambo series.

WTF no Rambo 4 in the box set! Well, this set should be $35 on Amazon so thats not bad. Will probably preorder the set and fourth film closer to release date.
