Great collection for any monster kid to own

A must have for fan on the Universal Monsters!
As someone who’s a fan of the classic Universal Monsters, this collection was a no brainer. I have thought about buying each individual 4K but this is much better. It’s definitely a display piece for everyone to see. If you don’t own any of the films, this collection is for you. The artwork is amazing.Even though the digital code is past the redemption date, I still manage to get my copies and it may work for you too. Overall excellent purchase and money well spent.

Great collection set
I’ll admit I have never seen this original Universal Monster movies until now. And wow I am shocked how good these movies are. I had a gift card and this was sort of an impulse buy and I don’t regret it. It’s incredible how films from the early 1930’s can look and sound so good.The artwork on the cover of the book is great to display. Each film is thoroughly summarized in the book. The discs seem to be well protected. This is probably the best collection set of Universal Monsters out there. This set is limited to 5,500 so if you’re a fan might want to get it now!P.S. I don’t understand why people are complaining they already own the movies and are giving bad reviews about cash grabs. There are so many people like myself who have never seen any of these. And I appreciate Universal released a great set like this for someone like myself getting introduced to these great films.

Wow that's big
Having these films on 4K is worth the price and display is awesome. But be warned, this book display won't fit in most bookcases. I constructed a tiny shelf on a wall just for the book & it's a perfect attention grabber and conversation starter.

Great piece of art & cinema
I'm a fan of the classic Universal monster movies and love unique art. This is both and I love how big it is. Sure it "may be another release" *eye roll* but as someone who has never owned them, die mad. Why would you care if it's rereleased if you already have it? But I digress. This looks so good I'd leave it on my coffee table. Mine also arrived in perfect condition, not damage. Great for a horror collector, especially if you don't own them already
