Amazon has a few great box set deals that would make great gifts for James Bond fans this holiday. Most notably, the Sean Connery 6-Film 4K Blu-ray Collection is discounted to $71 (was $105), which is the best deal yet for this classic 007 box set that launched in June. It was featured in Amazon’s Cyber Monday sale for $80. For the best value, check out The James Bond Collection, a 24-film Blu-ray box set for only $55 (was $120)–the same deal offered during Cyber Monday. Lastly, The Daniel Craig 5-Film 4K Blu-ray Collection is available for $38, which is only three bucks higher than its Black Friday price. All three box sets will arrive in time for Christmas if you’re a Prime member.
$55 (was $120)
The James Bond Collection is a 24-film box set collecting Dr. No (1962) through Spectre (2015). At the current $55 price, you’re paying $2.29 per movie. Each film is displayed in 1080p HD and supports DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround sound. Unlike some budget-friendly box sets with a ton of movies, every film in The James Bond Collection is on a separate Blu-ray disc. The movies alone would be a bargain at this price, but The James Bond Collection also comes with over 120 hours of special features.
The discs are packaged in a slipcase with three oversized plastic cases. The box comes with a white slipcover featuring each of the six James Bond actors in their title card poses.
The only Bond movie from the Eon Productions catalog not featured in this box set is Daniel Craig’s final appearance as 007, the 2021 film No Time to Die.

$38 (was $90)
Alternatively, you could complete your James Bond collection by picking up The Daniel Craig 5-Film Collection on 4K Blu-ray for $38–only $3 more than its Black Friday price. This is a 10-disc set featuring the five most recent Bond films on 4K Blu-ray and 1080p Blu-ray:
- Casino Royale (2006)
- Quantum of Solace (2008)
- Skyfall (2012)
- Spectre (2015)
- No Time to Die (2021)
The 4K UHD editions of all five movies support Dolby Vision and HDR10. The first three movies have DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, while Spectre and No Time to Die offer Dolby TrueHD 7.1. No Time to Die is also compatible with Dolby Atmos. Hours of behind-the-scenes content from the standalone editions are included on the 1080p Blu-ray discs.
The Daniel Craig 5-Film Collection is also available on DVD for $21. Prior to No Time to Die’s release, Warner Bros. released 4-Film Collections on Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray.
$71 (was $105)
Until this year, only Daniel Craig’s Bond movies were available on 4K Blu-ray. That changed in June with the Sean Connery 6-Film Collection. This is the only one of the three box sets that still comes with digital copies of the movies, but unlike the Daniel Craig Collection, it does not include standard Blu-ray discs.
The films were restored in native 4K (2160p) resolution from the original camera negatives. All six movies support Dolby Vision and HDR10 as well as three audio formats: Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD 7.1, and DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 Mono. Special features include optional audio commentaries, various featurettes and retrospectives, and galleries of promotional materials.
As mentioned, the current $71 deal is better than the collection’s Black Friday price ($80). This collection released in June alongside a Steelbook Library Collection edition that sold out at launch (sadly).
In September, all six Sean Connery films from the box set received standalone editions for $30 each. Amazon had most of them for $13-$15 each during Black Friday, but unlike the box set, the prices for these have gone up. Three of the six movies are available for $17 or less, but the other three are just under $24 each.
Sean Connery Bond Movies on 4K Blu-ray:
Sean Connery reprised the role of 007 in 1983’s Never Say Never Again. It’s not in the collection or the list above because it wasn’t made by Eon Productions. Never Say Never Again is one of only two Bond movies outside the Eon umbrella. The other was 1967’s Casino Royale starring David Niven.
Eon Productions sold creative control of the movie series to Amazon MGM Studios earlier this year. We still don’t know who the next James Bond actor will be or when the first Amazon MGM Studios-led movie will arrive, but hey, at least a new James Bond video game launches next March.
For a great book about the movie franchise, check out The James Bond Archives for $60 (was $100). It’s eligible for Amazon’s B1G1 50% Off Book Sale that runs through December 20.
