The Avengers TV Series - Blu Ray Preorders

This Blu-ray produced in the UK and Germany is absolutely gorgeous (b&w) and runs at the correct speed (the season 4, 5, 6 sets all are correct). They are region coded so US viewers need a region-freed player (available on Amazon). Definitive versions of the series! I know the chaps who worked on these and they were quite diligent to send the work back for revisions again and again until everything was right.

By the way, a lost episode from season 1 was just discovered:

Useless to me until they make it for US viewing. I'm not buying extra players just for foreign Blu-rays. If they want my money, they'll make it for MY player.

 

If people want these great UK blu-ray releases for a nice price. Amazon UK has them for 35 pounds each. Very cheap especially with where the pound is now,

 

You're missing out and kind of shooting yourself in the foot, It's not just country specific releases there are UK labels like Eureka, Arrow, BFI, Network, Studio Canal putting out amazing releases with even more amazing high bitrate encodes. There is so much out there. Look around. It like saying a nice AP or MFSL or DCC vinyl pressing is the same as another record label's release. A lot out there.

 

they don't really produce them for the US market, so they're not really after our money. unfortunately the blu-ray produced in the US ran at the wrong speed, and also didn't achieve the same level of picture quality and extras. i think i got my all-region player for about $200. check out the Network site for lots of other cool UK releases that we'll likely never see in the US.

Thx Jason

Only interested in season 4 & 5 ( Emma Peel). Curious. Does the blu rays come with subtitles ?

 

Succumbed to curiosity and got the box set. Must admit blu ray series 4 picture ( b&w) is stunning, also has subtitles,
Who's Mr Peel?

 

More interesting question - what was Mrs Peel's name before she married him?

 

Yeah, lets Peel slowly and see.

 

Still no word for Season 4 R1 Blu-ray release date, and there were picture quality/sound speedup issues for Season 5.

 

That's right. I posted speed comparisons on youtube. Only the UK/Germany Blu-rays (covering Emma and Tara years) are at the correct speed (and they are gorgeous). No updates about additional (or corrected) R1 blu-rays.

 

Thanks for clearing up the releases!

At the present the previous Emma "Mega set DVD'S feature the most episodes per package, however in SD format and still audio speedup/picture softness concerns.

 

Very bummed at the lack of S4 on BD in region 1. S5 must have sold very poorly to scare Lionsgate from future releases.

 

The. They should license it out. I can't stand studios that sit on things because it doesn't sell (one reason it could have sold poorly--it was 4% too fast, not enough bit rate, no extras. Piss off the fans, they won't buy it. Lion's Gate needs to take a look at itself as well.

 

As I recall the DVD sets are at the correct speed. It's just the BD that isn't.

 

A guy that looks like Steed (at least from the back) and drives a car just like him.

 

The UK Blu-rays are even less expensive now. About 30 pounds.

 

That's right. R1 DVDs and UK Blu-rays are correct. And the guys who worked on the UK stuff even had to keep sending it back to get the studio to make corrections. It nearly didn't succeed.

By the way, I'm selling my complete A&E Emma megaset and Tara sets, part of my SPY VIBE collection.

 

Fopp?

Any updates if U.K. only Blu-ray releases will be properly formatted for U.S. market by StudioCanal?

 

My guess is that it didn't sell all that well as everything has been silent.

 

As the market we're getting too few and old

 

I ain't that old and would dearly love to buy a US BD of the B&W Rigg years and any of the Tara /Purdey years that may be released.

 

You could buy a all region player and order it from the U.K. Expensive for the disc set but I doubt that anyone anytime soon is going to release it here unless someone like Shout Factory licenses it.
