David Lynch Box Set --> "The Lime Green Set": 11/18/08
From Dugpa:
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.
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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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).
Doesn't sound unreasonable for 9 discs plus a soundtrack. Plus it'll likely be knocked down to $130 - 140 or so at most stores.
