America's Greatest Westerns - Volume Four - 10 DVDs - 40 Movies


America's Greatest Westerns - Volume Four - 10 DVDs - 40 Movies
Brand: Echo Bridge Home Entertainment
Movie Count: 40 movies
Disc Count: 10 discs
Total Time: 2,342 minutes

Movies marked with a semicolon (;) were unique to my whole collection at time of purchase.
Unique Count: 1 movie
Unique Time: 65 minutes

Purchase Date: Jun 07, 2024
Purch. Price: $5.00
Purch. Location: eBay
Packaging: Large DVD case which contains a hub on the left, four pages which each contains two discs (one on front, one on back), and a hub on the right.  All discs are single sided.

Notes: Purchased as a lot with all four volumes of the series for $20.18.  For all volumes, the discs included are a mismatched mess (ie, the discs were not commonly branded).  While all the movies listed are present (and on the disc that they should be), the labels are not consistent.  None of the discs are labeled as America's Greatest Westerns.  The name of the disc may be for some other set also put out by Echo Bridge.  Often they are labeled for a similar/identical series called Legends Of The West which was a five volume set, with each set containing 8 DVDs.  Basically, America's Greatest Westerns and Legends Of The West were the same set, just packaged differently (one with four 10 DVD volumes, the other with five 8 DVD volumes).
