I ordered it and somehow got it the NEXT DAY. Very nice set, a steal at $24.99. The movie poster repro offer made it worthwhile to me.

Only downside, the Robbie toy is quite fragile... one of the "spinners" on his antenna broke off as I took it out of the box.

Mine arrived quickly as well via UPS which is pretty unusual for free shipping from Amazon. Tin was in great shape.

Got my set today and it is just awesome. The tin has beautiful artwork on the back and the whole set is well put together... it has everything a collector could want.

I see your point, but considering the nostalgia of this film I felt the collector's set was a must buy. I loved the package they put together. I just wish many of you could experience it in HD. It is a breath taking restoration. I can only hope for Warner to give more of their classic film library this kind of treatment.
