Question Pertaining to the Original Theatrical Trailer for PREDATOR

The Facts:

1) The original DVD releases of PREDATOR contain the original theatrical trailer for the film.

2) The newly released PREDATOR: Collector's Edition does not feature this trailer.

The Problem:

In the simplest terms, a collector who wants to have all PREDATOR footage available will need to retain both the original PREDATOR DVD, as well as the new Collector's Edition, instead of having the luxury of selling off the former to help fund the latter.

The Possible Solution:

The mind of this particular collector has continued to nag at him ever since he bought the new C.E. yesterday, telling him that he owns some other DVD title that--miracle of miracles--contains the same theatrical trailer featured on the original, bare-bones PREDATOR releases. Is this particular collector going slightly soft in the noggin, or is it true that there is, in fact, some other DVD that contains the theatrical trailer for PREDATOR?

Thanks for any insight provided...

Hey! Trailers rock! Especially good ones - and 'Predator' had a good trailer. They're also surely the absolutely easiest no brainer special feature to include on a DVD, and it's always annoying to note their absence.

Rough crowd. You'd think this guy shot your arm off Carl Weathers style.

The shittiest part of this trailer situation, is the fact that instead of including the original trailer for Predator they decided to include the A.V.P. trailer. That's just insane!!!

By the way, the original post here didn't make too much sense...

I'm still waiting for a release of the AMC special that was done on Predator. Just a random comment . . .
