Fans of the MonsterVerse cinematic universe can snag the Collector’s Edition 5-Film Box Set for $70 (was $100) at Walmart while supplies last. Once it sells out–it’s no longer available at Amazon–this Godzilla x Kong 4K collection is unlikely to be available through retailers unless you buy from a reseller. This is because a standard edition quietly launched in March as a replacement. The standard edition retails for $70, so you can get the Collector’s version with unique packaging for the same price.

2014’s Godzilla got the ball rolling with the first truly great American movie featuring the kaiju behemoth–sorry, Godzilla 1998–and the story continued in Godzilla: King of the Monsters when the Big G established himself as the planet’s apex predator. Meanwhile, Kong: Skull Island brought the ape wonder of the world back to the big screen after a lengthy absence, making the return of Kong a slick Vietnam War-era experience with outstanding cinematography.
Eventually, the two titans would clash in Godzilla vs. Kong, a movie that did not disappoint with its premise and had a few surprises up its sleeve as well. Finally, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire released in theaters in March and was a huge success, pulling in over $570 million worldwide. The New Empire is the fifth-highest-grossing movie of the year.
While Kong and Godzilla are still best of frenemies in 2024’s The New Empire, new threats to the planet force them to work together as they set aside their grudge for the greater good. Also, Godzilla suplexes Kong into one of the Giza pyramids, and that alone makes it worth watching.
