Reddit reviews Alien 6-film Collection [bd + Dhd] [Blu-ray]

I did OP's job for them:

Alien - Alien: Covenant(6 box)

Alien - Alien: Resurrection(4 box)

I just bought the 6 disc today. i was looking at the Anthology and while it has superior packaging, there are multiple printings apparently and some don’t have the special features disc, and no Alien covenant or digitals.

Also researching it i gleaned that

The 6 disc comes with both directors/theatrical cuts of the first 3 films, and digital codes for all 6,
Bad news is that it doesn’t have all the special features of the disc.
Good news is that if you used the codes on the movies anywhere service you get access to to digital special feats.

Yup, this is the definitive blu ray set. For dvd it would be the quadrilogy. If you want to include Prometheus and Covenent, looks like this would be the go-to: https://www.amazon.com/Alien-6-film-Collection-Blu-ray-Crudup/dp/B073FT8X16

This has all 6 Alien films.

The kind of boxed set you are describing doesn't exist. Pick one.

They talk about that scene, and how apparently 1 of them had to get cuticle repair after their fingers were jabbed during a reshoot of the scene, and how Bishop's actor barely got through the English version of TSA with the knives in his suitcase, etc.

On top of that, this film looks quite good in Blu Ray. And it has the 1990 special edition, which is good, as I consider that version superior to the 1986 theatrical release (I like that the deleted scene makes the leading character in Alien: Isolation canon, for one thing). And a few versions of the soundtrack.

I specifically picked a Blu Ray set which didn't have Prometheus / Covenant as I have zero interest in those films. Plus the version I got is half the price and has more special content than the more expensive version.

The 4 film version has all the same special content as the 9 disk DVD version but in Blu Ray disks, so better resolution. The 6 disk version is twice the price of the normal 4 disk version which lacks some special features. At $15 vs $30, I think the $15 is worth it since I buy movies for special content anyway.

Version with prometheus / covenant:

Version with only the 4 original movies but tons of special content:
