I by no means wanna dissuade anyone who has any inkling of getting this set to not do it. If Broom Kid’s wish of isolated scores is granted, good for him and those who want that. I’m not gonna judge him or anyone else on their own choice to buy the set.

However if there are others like myself who feel the lack of the OUT is an automatic no sale that’s ok too. I made the same decision in 2011, 2013, 2015 and this year. Admittedly I’ve almost went through with getting the Complete set just for the extras but even that wasn’t enough of a push. When it’s extras that accommodate films that are modern reinterpretations of their theatrical versions it puts a bad taste in my mouth.

HD or not, history is rewritten and unless the OUT is restored I frankly have no desire to buy these films again. But that’s just me. People are buy the sets regardless of what’s in it either way so it really doesn’t matter how I feel about it.
