David Lynch Box Set --> "The Lime Green Set": 11/18/08
From Dugpa:
Writer, director and artist David Lynch has personally selected these works, including many pieces new to DVD, and a “mystery disc” of content taken from Lynch’s own personal archives and available only in this box set. BOX SET INCLUDES: ERASERHEAD – REMASTERED VERSION ERASERHEAD SOUND TRACK THE SHORT FILMS OF DAVID LYNCH THE ELEPHANT MAN THE ELEPHANT MAN EXTRAS – DVD DEBUT WILD AT HEART INDUSTRIAL SYMPHONY No. 1 – DVD DEBUT BLUE VELVET – NEW LYNCH APPROVED 5.1 SOUND MIX DUMBLAND MYSTERY DISC – DVD DEBUT BOOKLET – FEATURING RARE LYNCH IMAGERY Running Time +/- 720 minutes DVD: 5/9 9 DVDs + 1 CD PKG: Deluxe Box Set Packaging UPC: 858334001398 Street Date: November 18th, 2008 SRP: $179.95 Hopefully the apparent Elephant Man SE will get a separate release somewhere down the line. Otherwise, this looks like a pass: a very high MSRP for a collection of films that most (all?) Lynch fans already own. Of course, there is that "rare Lynch imagery" to consider. |
Oh man, this is tempting.
|
Yeah when this is like around $50 give me a call but till then I'ma gonna have to hold off on this one.
|
The only feature I don't own from this is Eraserhead, funnily enough, it looks like a winner for me since all the releases I have of the rest are pretty bare bones.

$180 :whofart:

I really want INDUSTRIAL SYMPHONY, but I have pretty much everything else there. I think it will come down to what's on that Mystery Disc and how cool the booklet and packaging is. I bet the exclusive discs will be available separately in time, but you never know.
It's interesting that this set includes titles from a few different studios/owners so it is a bit unique in that respect. |
Nov. 18th, eh? Sounds like it could be a prime candidate for a certain sale... I own just about all of this but, being a Lynch completeist, this set will have to be mine. Wonder if the fully uncut Wild at Heart will be included?
|
Bullshit.
Total. Fucking. Bullshit. |

I have gotten confirmation that the Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart DVD should be identical to the existing releases with the exception that Blue Velvet will be getting a brand new 5.1 re-mix for 2008 which will be done by David. |
I have the money to afford this easily, but the reason I do so is because I don't spend $180 on dvd sets that contain 4 movies I already own.
|
That price is absolutely insane. This actually sounded like a decent set until I noticed the price point. After that, all my interest went out the window.
I guess I'll be looking for a decent price on this in five years. Hopefully a sale in the DVD Bargains thread will eventually help me out. |
Major pass. I've got them already.
|
Wow. This is pretty inexcusable. I guess his coffee sales aren't quite what he hoped, huh? Is this 'Mystery Disc' just gonna be 'Dynamic 02'?
I already have everything here on DVD except for 'Industrial Symphony No. 1', which I have on laserdisc (and which SHOULD have already been included in the 'Short Films' disc) so I'm gonna take the money I might have spent on this and put it aside for when he decides to release 'Inland Empire' on Blu-Ray. |
I do want it, but $180 is steep. I thought I read $80 at first and I was wondering why people were complaining.
Depending on what's on the Mystery Disc, I might get it though. I imagine the set will look very nice, and I have no particular attachment to my MGM Blue Velvet/Wild at Heart DVDs, and I don't own the rest. |

I want Industrial Symphony on dvd, but I hope it gets it's own release, since I have all the rest and am not double dipping for a few extras.
|
So this is the 3rd re-release of the same Eraserhead and Short Films dvds?
Lynch is a good film maker but he really needs to quit gouging his fans. |
There's a certain arrogance to the pricing on this ..... sorry, David, no sale!
|
I'd only pay that if these were remastered for Blu-ray. We're waiting for Lynch on Blu.
|
Damn -- too much for my blood.
|
Lynch has been trying to build several $1 billion churches of transcendental meditation. That money's gotta come from somewhere!

Well, I'm a Lynch fan, and out of that set only own Wild at Heart; strangely enough, a few days ago I was considering picking up Blue Velvet, Elephant Man and a couple of his other movies not included here, so I guess I can hold off a bit longer and wait for more details on this one.
But it might be a moot issue, since I don't want Dumbland or Eraserhead (the imagery and sound are amazing, but I find it a bit of a chore to sit through). Strange Lynch wouldn't include Inland Empire on this set, since he owns the rights to it (or at least I think he does).
