"Spectre," the 24th film in the "James Bond" franchise, will see the iconic 007 agent going up against the most ruthless secret criminal organization in the world, Spectre. To prepare fans for the movie's global release this Nov. 6, both Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will be offering a new steelbox Blu-Ray set that focuses entirely on the history of the organization. 

The new Blu-Ray set offers all six films in which Bond deals with Spectre, namely: "From Russia With Love," "Thunderball," "You Only Live Twice," "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," "Diamonds Are Forever," and "For Your Eyes Only." 

The set also includes all of the three current films starring Daniel Craig as James Bond: "Casino Royale," "Quantum of Solace," and "Skyfall." Spectre does not make an appearance in "Skyfall" but it is mentioned in "Casino Royale" and plays a major role in "Quantum of Solace," although the group is never mentioned by name. 

Along with the nine films are two featurettes which are interviews of series' veteran writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. There is also a "History of Spectre" special feature and a segment called "The Story So Far" which summarizes the events of all the Daniel Craig "James Bond" films. 

This "Spectre" steelbox will be available starting Sept. 15. 

MGM is also launching the Ultimate James Bond Collection pack which puts all 23 films in one Blu-Ray pack, and there is even an empty slot for the home release of "Spectre" when it comes out on Blu-Ray and DVD. Digital copies of the films will also be available for the first time. 

This Ultimate James Bond Collection also features a 90-minute documentary titled "Everything or Nothing" as well as a small book featuring "James Bond" movie posters as well as an exclusive poster showcasing every Bond film from "Dr. No" to "Spectre."

This deal is exclusive for Amazon.com.
