I always thought burned off discs deteriorated relatively fast, but standard DVDs would last for decades. Anyone have an idea about that?
$140 for thirty movies of this quality is really impressive. If this was Blu-ray, I'd definitely upgrade and get it. That's a whole lot of entertainment.

Have the Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolf Man, Mummy and Creature Legacy sets already... plus many of the same movies in assorted other box sets.
I guess next for me will be the Blu-ray sets.Leave a comment:

I have all six Legacy box sets, so I think I'll leave it at that.
Hope they haven't deteriorated...Leave a comment:

Yeah, that Blu-ray set is great. I was thrilled to finally see Creature in 3D as intended, that alone was worth the price of admission for me.
I have most of the original Legacy DVD sets, but the sequels were all on 2 sided "flipper" discs. Unfortunately, Universal had some problems with these, especially if they were made in Mexico. They are often prone to "DVD rot". I watched mine when I first got them and they were fine but I haven't watched any of them in several years, I hope they haven't deteriorated in the mean time, I'm scared to check!Leave a comment:

I wonder if that is the DVD release of this
Absolutely amazing set. Just for starters, Creature of the Black Lagoon in it's original theatrical polarized 3D and FINALLY Dracula 1931 got an actual restoration. Looks terrific and even the stutter in Swan Lake at the beginning is gone.
Yeah I own this along with the Legacy sets, it's flipping gorgeous.Leave a comment:

If I hadn't collected the legacy sets earlier this would be a must-have. Glad it's back in print.Leave a comment:

I'd be most interested to see what's considered the Phantom's Legacy Collection--judging from the contents list, it's just a re-release of the DVD for the 1943 Rains version.
The Chaney film is in the public domain; I've never understood Universal's current relationship to it, either as a (restored) film or a licensed property.Leave a comment:

^Yeah, I love those Mummy films. I only had vague recollections of them before someone put the Legacy set in the donation box at the library where Cindy works. A buck later, I had the Karloff classic, and these B-sequels, which, while not nearly as impressive cinematically, are a helluva a lot more fun!
I really wish I'd got the Creature set. I only have the first film.

Yeah I'll be passing on this because I have 85% of it and I can live without the others.
Got really lucky with the Legacy sets and found them used and/or on closeout.
I really like the later Mummy movies with Lon Chaney (i know), I'm not sure I need them on Blu Ray.

This is great, but the only ones I'm missing are the Creature and Invisible Man sets. I wish they'd just re-released them, as they are now out of print. I don't think the Phantom had a legacy set before, did he? It's only two films, unless they throw in the Hammer remake, which they also own the rights to.
Too bad this isn't on Blu-Ray. The initial Universal Blu-Ray set is gorgeous, especially the cleaned up Dracula.

Universal Monsters Complete Collection DVD
Universal is bundling up the (wonderful) Legacy sets and injecting Phantom of the Opera and Invisible Man movies into the mix. Nice to see the Monsters getting released yet again.
