While it may not have constituted a complete series, Sony did manage to include a complete "mini" series of "From Here to Eternity" on their previous Columbia Classics volume.

But they didn’t create new HD masters for that series.

Funny Girl is in need of a 4K disc. While there is a 4K streaming version it has no HDR and only 5.1 sound. No Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos. The Big Chill is the same . I am sure there are many early 4K streamers in need of an upgrade. Any music heavy soundtracks would benefit especially if they have a music only option.

Silverado has been a popular requested title for Sony to release on 4K.

Sony's Ebay store, "Please Rewind", currently has Volume 4 for $135. In addition there is a $10 off coupon added when you place in cart so $125 plus tax. They had 10 sold 4 and so 6 left as of this writing.

This is the first one of these boxes I'm not getting. It's the older films that are the draw for me, and I think the Criterion HIS GIRL FRIDAY blu-ray covers that one.

Deal ether sold out or expired. The Sony Ebay site is now selling the set for $149 less $12 off when in basket or $137.
I am still waiting for a more reasonable price. If I miss out I already have the 5 films I want in the set as 4K digital. I will have to settle for that. The other alternative is to buy it used. Doesn't matter if the used set comes without the digital codes as I said I have most already. Still I find it hard to spend as much or more than I paid for new sets of previous volumes for this one used. I think it will come down to an impulse buy and so far I haven't had the impulse to pull the trigger.

Amazon temporarily dropped the pricing to $130 on Thursday and I still didn't pull the trigger because I think it's going to drop further down the road. I'm not in a hurry to purchase this set.

I picked it up during the last Target B2G1 sales along with Bonanza Complete DVD and Smallville complete Blu-ray. There a was a %15 off over $X and I had Gift cards. I think it worked out to about $130... plus I received a bonus giftcard.
