??? for Owners of CARLITO'S WAY: Collector's Edition and/or HALLOWEEN II
1) I just recently made a purchase for CARLITO'S WAY: Collector's Edition from a private seller on Half.com. Normally, I wouldn't make a DVD purchase in this manner, but somehow, despite all my daily perusals of DVD informational sites like this one, CARLITO'S WAY: CE went out of print only a year after its DVD release without my knowledge of such and no stores online or in my area have it in stock anymore. So, when I received the disc, it turns out to have been shipped by a Canadian seller; as a result, though it is the official Universal Home Video release, it's the Canadian version with bilingual cover art. Ugh, but I can live with it. What I'm concerned about is that it does not include an insert booklet/chaper list page. I believe that may be standard practice for Universal now, but I didn't think it was back in Sept. '03 when this title was first released. Can anyone who owns the American release of this DVD check it and verify whether that release has an insert or not? Thanks...
* NOTE: Just to make clear, this query pertains to the CARLITO'S WAY: Collector's Edition released in 2003, not the earlier movie-only release from 1998.
2) Similar issue with Universal Home Video's release of HALLOWEEN II (NOT the earlier non-anamorphic Goodtimes release); I used store credit at Blockbuster Video to pick this title up a few weeks ago and it, too, does not have an insert. I normally wouldn't think anything of it except that many online stores, such as DVDPlanet, list the release date (actually re-release date) of the DVD as 12/28/2004 when the title actually debuted on 9/18/2001, so I fear that the 2001 release had an insert but the late-2004 re-release no longer includes it. Can anyone who bought HALLOWEEN II back in 2001-2003 verify if the DVD includes an insert? Thanks, Part II...

I can help w/Part II.
I purchased Halloween II (Universal) when it first came out. It does have an insert. Nothing fancy, just 1 sheet (copy of cover on one side, 18 chapters and a couple of photos on the other).

flyboy, the American sites listed are all out of stock or, in the case of DVDPlanet, show the title as "Discontinued", and I wasn't interested in working with a Canadian retailer on this title (oh the irony). As far as being found in cheapie bins, well, not in Oklahoma...
