I thought I would begin a specific thread about this, as I have many questions and am actually close to the point of throwing up my arms after waiting endlessly for a US knockoff of this set... and maybe going Region-Free.
The US price of this mammoth collection on AmazonUK is now down to around $38.00. I've found out that if I wanted this set I could easily order through my regular Amazon US and that the money woukld automatically be converted into US dollars on my credit card. Actually, right here and right now seems like the golden time to finally order this set, if ever.
But I would like to hear some straight-forward pros and/or cons from anyone who may have this collection already. How is the quality of these films here? Any jerky movements due to PAL?
I'm also not that thrilled that the shorts are all contained as "extras" in "themes" on certain discs which contain the feature films. I REALLY would prefer a straight-ahead chronological listing, like what happend with the Genius "Little Rascals" set.
Then there's the matter of my having to buy a Region Free Player -- even if it's cheap, I don't want to do this and have more than one machine. I would much prefer to transfer my present Blu-ray player into Region-Free, if this is feasible. Does anyone know how to find out, and to make the adjustment?
I'd also be interested in a comparison between the UK set and the German set. Which is better, and why? Are the shorts offered seperately on the German collection?
