James Bond Sean Connery 4K Steelbook Collection Is Up For Preorder

Sean Connery is often cited as the best actor to ever step into the shoes of James Bond. However, his films have never been released on 4K Blu-ray--only Daniel Craig's turn as Bond has received the 4K treatment. That's about to change, as the 007: James Bond Sean Connery 6-Film Collection (4K Blu-ray) is officially up for preorder ahead of its June 3 release date. If you're looking for a premium way to store and display the collection, a Limited Edition Steelbook Box Set is also launching the same day.

Amazon hasn't added images of the box sets to its store pages yet, but we will update this article as soon as promotional images and more details are available.

007: James Bond Sean Connery 6-Film Collection (Limited Edition 4K Steelbook)

$140 | Releases June 3

The steelbook collection includes six steelbooks--one for each film--plus a massive "steelbook library case" to keep them organized on your shelf. Details are scarce, but we do know you'll get 4K and digital versions of all six films. Expect to learn more about bonus features soon. Since this is the first time the films are making the jump to 4K, we expect there to be high demand for the product. Be sure to preorder if you want to be among the first to have it in their home.

Here's a look at the six films included in the collection:

• Dr. No
• From Russia With Love
• Goldfinger
• Thunderball
• You Only Live Twice
• Diamonds are Forever

Rumors began circulating about a 007 Sean Connery bundle last November, so fans are no doubt excited that the rumors turned out to be true. Only a few Bond films have been released in 4K formats, with Daniel Craig leading the charge.

Several other James Bond Blu-rays are cheap right now, making it a good time to fill any gaps in your catalog. The James Bond Collection pulls together 24 films for just $65.69 (was $120), making it an easy recommendation at this price. The only Bond film that's not included here is No Time to Die.

As mentioned, Daniel Craig's Bond films, up until now, were the only 007 movies with 4K Blu-ray editions. You can get all five of Craig's Bond movies on 4K for $64.48 at Walmart (Amazon is sold out). There's also a four-film Daniel Craig Collection for $46.40 at Amazon--once again, this doesn't come with No Time to Die. That said, this collection and No Time to Die are eligible for Amazon's Buy Two, Get One Free Blu-ray Sale. Check out our roundup for even more 4K Blu-ray and box set deals beyond James Bond.

Here's a look at a few James Bond Blu-rays and books about the film series that would be great companions for the upcoming Sean Connery collection. Most notably, you can get the massive James Bond Archives for 50% off at Amazon.

Ian Fleming's James Bond Novels

All of Sean Connery's James Bond films--and many 007 movies in general--were adapted from novels by Ian Fleming, the legendary British spy novelist who created the most famous fictional spy around. Fleming died in 1964, but official James Bond novels written by other writers are still published today. We've included a list of Fleming's original 14 James Bond novels, which were reissued in paperback in 2023-24. We've bolded the books that are featured in Amazon's Spring Sale.
