In a world increasingly dominated by fleeting digital streams, there remains a certain satisfaction in holding a piece of cinematic history in your hands. For fans of the “Baba Yaga,” the legendary assassin John Wick, that opportunity has arrived with a series of compelling deals on Blu-ray and 4K collections across Amazon and Walmart. It seems the High Table has decreed a temporary truce on pricing, allowing enthusiasts to own the visceral, exquisitely choreographed action that defines this iconic franchise.
Collecting the Legend: Chapters 1-4 and Beyond
The core of any collection is, naturally, the main saga. For those looking to own the complete narrative arc, the John Wick: Chapters 1-4 Collection on Blu-ray stands out as a remarkable value. Priced at just $26.49, down from $45, this eight-disc set includes all four mainline films on both 1080p Blu-ray and DVD. Beyond the cinematic journey, it bundles four exclusive art cards and hours of bonus features, including audio commentaries and over 35 featurettes – a veritable masterclass in action filmmaking. One minor note for the digitally inclined: while a voucher for digital copies is included, the codes officially expired in October 2024. A testament, perhaps, to the transient nature of some digital “ownership.”
For the discerning viewer demanding the sharpest visual and auditory experience, the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray options are equally enticing. While a comprehensive four-film 4K box set remains elusive in the US, Amazon offers the John Wick: Chapters 1-3 4K Blu-ray set for $28.49 (originally $45). Adding Chapter 4 separately for around $17.44 completes the 4K quartet for just under $46. Individual 4K Blu-rays are also available, presenting an affordable path to upgrade specific films or complete a collection. You can also find a Chapters 1-3 set bundled with officially licensed John Wick playing cards for approximately $41.

Exclusive Artifacts for the Connoisseur
Beyond the standard editions, the John Wick universe has always been about style and exclusivity, and these physical releases are no exception. Walmart, ever the purveyor of unique treasures, is offering the John Wick: Chapters 1-3 Stash Book Collection (4K) for $50, a significant drop from its original $100 price tag. This six-disc set doesn’t just contain the films on 4K and 1080p Blu-ray; it presents them in three collectible steelbook cases, all housed within a stunning replica of Wick`s infamous stash book. It`s not merely entertainment; it’s a display piece, a conversation starter, and a nod to the meticulous world-building of the franchise.
For those who crave even more immersive memorabilia, the John Wick: Chapter 4 – Walmart Gift Set (4K), available for $72.36, delivers. This Limited Edition Collector`s Gift Set includes the film on both 4K and 1080p Blu-ray, alongside a bounty of exclusive extras: six double-sided collector cards, a custom map of Paris, a specialty marquee pin, The Continental Osaka Hotel Key Card, and The Continental Osaka Folder. It’s a tangible piece of the lore, perfect for the fan who appreciates the intricate details of Wick`s global underworld.
Expanding the Universe: Ballerina and Related Thrills
The John Wick universe continues to expand, and the recently released spin-off, Ballerina: From the World of John Wick, is also available in various physical formats. Released on September 9th, fans can find it on 4K Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray, and DVD. Walmart has an exclusive Steelbook Edition for $30, while Amazon`s lenticular artwork Steelbook, though currently sold out, indicates the high demand for these premium releases. Standard editions are priced around $27 for 4K Blu-ray, $23 for Blu-ray, and $19.51 for DVD.
And for those who appreciate a good “John Wick impression” from other stars, don`t overlook the cinematic cousin, Nobody. While not part of the John Wick universe, the film`s similar brand of intense, grounded action has resonated with many of Wick`s admirers. Keep an eye out for the Walmart-exclusive *Nobody 2 Steelbook Edition* launching October 7th, or snag the recently released *Nobody 4K Steelbook* for around $30.
The Enduring Appeal of Physical Media
In an era of subscription fatigue and content libraries that shift without warning, the act of physically owning your favorite films carries a unique weight. These Blu-ray and 4K collections offer not just the unparalleled audio and video fidelity that streaming often compromises, but also a wealth of supplemental material that deepens the appreciation for the craft. They are immune to bandwidth issues, digital rights management changes, and the whims of licensing agreements. They are yours to keep, forever, a concrete testament to your dedication to the finest cinematic violence. Furthermore, the meticulously designed collector`s editions transform simple entertainment into an art object, something to display and admire, a stark contrast to the invisible bits of a digital download.
These limited-time deals represent a prime opportunity to either embark on your John Wick journey or complete a cherished collection. So, for those ready to delve back into the elegantly violent world of high-stakes contracts and legendary assassins, Amazon and Walmart are currently your personal Continental, offering passage into the enduring legacy of John Wick. Just try not to upset anyone at the High Table with your enthusiasm.
