Except it has none of the extras

i got the charles dickens DVD set from that mistake but i didn't get this one. from what i'm reading, i dont' think i'm going to either. paid via CC, didn't use my store credit yet, and have no idea what the survey is. if by survey you mean the "rate this product" email, then no, i didn't fill that out since i never got the product!

Which may or may not be of any interest to you. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the "extras" are fairly sparse on the original Platinum series releases, the real meaty portion of which is mostly comprised of commentaries on some episodes (but not all). However, I believe these commentaries are all by the English voice talent. I never like the English overdubs, not for Evangelion or any others (with the possible exception of "FLCL", which is exceptionally well done though I prefer most of the characters in orig. Japanese), so I have little interest in these. But I'd love to know if I'm overlooking something!

It looks like I won't be getting this deal (paid with credit card, rec'd and used the $5 credit), but I definitely want the set. Is Walmart's $46.44 price the best anyone's found online?

Seems there's a 12 page booklet with the individual discs
Inside is another 12-page booklet with episode commentaries, profiles of this disc's Angels and a few more screenshots.

Those booklets are in platinum edition singles that are being sold individually. The old box set has only 1 page insert in each volume, and it does not have remastered video/audio, and does not contain the director's cut episodes.

If you want the booklets, slipcovers, and English oriented extras, pay more bucks for the volume 1 + box and the subsequent, individual volumes.

If you just want the show and director's cut episodes, get the thinpak.

In either case, forget the original box set (which goes for $75 at BB), unless you absolutely cannot tolerate the couple of missing subtitles (for some spoken Japanese in some background crowd) in episodes 2 and 5 (it seems ADV intentionally dropped them for unknown reasons).

My order was cancelled, I didn't get the set (paid by credit card) and got "you have $5 credit" e-mail. I tried to use it just now, but the discount is not showing up in my order even after logging in. Am I late to redeem it or doing something wrong?

So last week I e-mailed them about this order since I hadn't received it. Today, I get an email saying I've been credited because the "carrier couldn't locate the package". And I was really looking forward to receiving it. Oh well.
