I can live with the oversize/overkill packagaing (though I really wish they weren't doing this and went with standard cases) as long as the transfers are good and they remember to include the extended version of BATTLE.

It looks cool but what a pain in the ass functionally - I'll either just buy the first movie individually and wait for a slimmed-down set, or transfer them all to individual keepcases and print covers myself. I bet that $50 of the price of that set is built into the "premium" packaging.

Pass. The Monkey Head set for me is "good enough". The only good film is the first anyway and this one appears to be missing the TV Show and Cartoons. If the price was right ($60-$70) I'd bite, but no way will I touch it with that high of a MSRP especially with everything else coming out.

That set looks pretty slick, but I'm afraid I will have to pass on this after all. Hopefully they will eventually be released in standard-sized cases... at least the 1st one anyways.

Wasnt it available in Japan (on laserdisc perhaps)?

I will be owning this one. It's not up for preorder yet. I think HD Digest said the list price was $159.99, but I thought I read on blu-ray.com that it is supposed to be reduced to $129.99. I'm hoping so.

Nice set but I've really gotten cranky with the non-standard boxes - The Blade Runner set had the right idea: do a custom package with the collectables, books, misc., *but* bundle the actual disks in a standard BD case. Then you can stash or display the collectable stuff, ~and~ put the disks on your normal media shelf/rack/etc.
