This is the MoC of old operating here, definitely their biggest set in years! I'm honestly impressed, as I didn't expect a box set this indulgent from them nowadays. I thought they were more likely to do all four separately, but perhaps something spurred them on to drop them all in one go. I like it!
Funnily enough I was recently discussing these titles in regards to Radiance, as they were teasing a 'landmark silent' and I wondered if it could be one of these. Whilst I was deciding which I wanted to see most (it's between Judex and Fantomas, but of course I want to see all of them), I didn't think another great label would be about to announce all four in one set.
That said, it's a lot of money for one purchase...luckily I don't have that much on in September as it stands. But like everyone else here, I have limited space now (in fact I'm moving house this week and the Blu-ray collection is the biggest impediment). Lucky for MoC that they're my priority when it comes to collecting, followed by Radiance, Criterion, Indicator, Second Run, Arrow and BFI (and a few others).

Shelves are way too full as it is!
Couldn't agree more. Hoping for a "compact" release and not a bulky box! A book is always welcome, but surely it is not necessary to have a separate box (in the bigger box) for every title in the release?
I don't mind if they use the ultra-slim cases, as sometimes boutiques labels do with this many discs. I suppose they'll decide between that model (my personal preference, and BFI have often opted for it), two discs per keepcase (logical but a bit boring), or separate digipacks (like Indicator usually opt for nowadays).
PS: I wonder what #300 will be now? How can you top a release like this one, honestly?
