Hopefully someone can help. I’m trying to find out if anyone knows anything about this box set and if it color corrects the films unlike the 2011 Blu Rays…
According to the listing this is a Disney set that was released in 2020. It is not Ultra HD 4k but instead is regular blu ray. I do not want to spend $66 on this only to find out that the gunflashes in all the original films (specifically ANH) are still pinkish.
I am reasonably sure that is a counterfeit product, especially considering the price. It does not correspond with the packaging and layout of any official release that I am aware of. I would stay clear of it.
If you want all of the films on Blu-ray in a box set as inexpensively as possible with the latest remasters then I would recommend this set, which runs around $80-$90.

Thanks, appreciate it. Though that set on ebay does look rather legitimate given the backside of the package, no? It also shows as a bunch of them being sold. So either it’s a great job done or the backlash about this set hasn’t reached any forums yet, that I could find. But I suppose you are right that to play it safe I should go with the Amazon link. Thing is I only care about the movies and would prefer a set with just them for cheaper instead of 18 discs inside some huge mega box.
Do you know if for certain there was color correction done to the 2019 Disney Blu-rays? (i.e. the magenta blasts)
That set from ebay is absolutely not official, I can tell you that for sure. Bootlegs like this are all over ebay. Infact, Disney related DVDs and Blu-rays tend to be the most widely bootlegged things I have ever come across. I would not at all recommend that you buy that. Also yes, The set that I posted a link to should have the newest transfers which are sourced from the same master as the 4k discs just downscaled to 1080p.
The back of that set from ebay doesn’t look like anything Disney/Fox would put out, and it’s being sold far too cheap, not to mention it’s unavailability from any legitimate retail site like Amazon. The previous set from Fox with only the first 6 films ran around $70-$80 in stores. Also, Disney loves their money. There is no way they would release a budget priced no frills set at such a low price point within the same year that they just put out a huge box set with bells & whistles. They aren’t the type of company known to do stuff like that.
Also, being that it is a counterfeit product I can almost guarantee that it does NOT feature the newest transfers, which is a moot point anyway.
The back of that set from eBay has typos on the copyright notice haha

I have since learned that this set apparently does NOT have the new scans and that the only way to get the Blu-rays with the new scans is to buy the massive 27 disc 4K set. Have you read anything about that?
