Obviously you do. No, it's not a real sequel.

Sorry, I don't know how to post links yet, still new here. But using the new link put up from dvdpricesearch.com, the Best Buy site lists the Gift Set as including a deck of cards, coasters and a shammy towel (i saw this listed in the web page title bar at the top of the screen). Looking forward to more details, although I really don't need any more cards or coasters, would have prefered a toe or a bowling ball bag.

Coasters for your white russian while you watch the movie.
Shammy towel to rub your bowling ball.
Not sure about cards? haven't seen the movie in awhile.
I think a Little Lebowski Urban Acheiver's T-shirt would have been cool. I've seen those on eBay, nice.

a shammy towel to rub the bowling ball.. okay, but i'd rather get one of these:

a deck of cards, with Lebowski motifs might be neat, but it still doesn't really tie the DVD together. why not get a mini-poster of Nixon bowling, or a MouseRug..?

As big of a fan of this film as I am, after reading what is included (though, the shammy towel sounds sweet) I may hold off on this gift set. I have my doubts, and I agree, drink coasters are indeed un-dude-like, man. I would have liked it better if they included some other things, but still, I most likely, uh, may buy it man.

As I've said before, I'm curious about the actual disc contents. Although everyone says that the Coen Bros abhor special features, The Man Who Wasn't There had a commentary, some deleted scenes, and a featurette (if I remember correctly). Barton Fink had deleted scenes (did Miller's Crossing? I'm at work and can't check). Therefore, it seems likely that we'll get at least some deleted scenes (if any exist), perhaps a commentary (their commentary for TMWWT was decent), and the aforementioned Lebowski Fest featurette.

What matters most is what is on this release. All the special features and what may have you. I complained about the gift set, but it's the coming dvd from Universal that is the real reason why we will all buy the gift set or just the dvd. Not the shammy, not the playing cards, or the drink coasters. Will Universal make this a dvd to truly own for fans of this film!
As a fan, the specs when released, should be very interesting, indeed!

There are Playing Card sets out there now, they were sent to the press to advertise the film and are very rare so I guess they may well be them sets or similar.
Still depends on what they do with the dvd still

My favorite Coen brothers tie-in is definitely the "Fargo" snow globe with the tree-shredder.
The closest we could get for Lebowski would be (apologies to previous posts who mentioned some of these):
- The set is a beat-up duffle bag
- A fake toe is inside
- White Russian recipe
- cancelled check for 97 cents (or whatever the milk cost)
- A small rug replica
- The Nixon bowling poster
- "Are you a Lebowski Achiever"? mirror

as for a small rug.. well, it's not a replica, but MouseRugs are pretty close: mouserug.com
the Nixon bowling poster can be bought at lebowskifest.com
the mirror.. i know there's a person that makes these and sells them.. they usually pop up on eBay every now and then.

I sure hope they don't forget the Kenneth Loring commentary like on Blood Simple.

The Big Lebowski
Universal has still to issue full specs for The Big Lebowski: Collector's Edition disc we broke last week. However, we can tell you what goodies are going to be included with the Collector's Edition Gift Box. For $49.98 you'll get a set of "Big Lebowski" coasters (for White Russians, natch), playing cards and a shammy towel. For that much money, a better gift set should have included a ferret, a ringer of dirty undies and an actual toe.
