One of the most popular Criterion Collection box sets is finally available in the 50% off sale at Amazon. Godzilla: The Showa-Era Films (1954-1975) had been sold out since before the early Black Friday Criterion Collection sale even started earlier this month, but now you can get the 15-film Blu-ray collection for only $112.48, down from $225. It's one of many Criterion Collection films up for grabs for 50% off until December 2, but it's worth noting Amazon's current delivery estimate is mid-January. Products with one- to two-month shipping estimates are often delivered sooner, but just know that you can't count on this Godzilla collection to arrive by Christmas.
