It's just the original versions, as they were. We didn't do anything to it at all. But we're not sure how many people want that. Now we'll find out whether they really wanted the original or whether they wanted the improved versions. It'll all come out in the end. Added by: Jennifer Vineyard
Lucas claims he's not re-releasing the originals to appease fans, but rather to bate them.
If you read what Lucas actually said, without the interpretation put on it by the "journalist", I think it's pretty encouraging. It suggests to me that he will be using sales of the new sets to determine popularity of the OOT vs. the SSE, despite packaging them together. This implies that if the set is very successful, LFL will continue to release the OT in future editions/formats, which I think we all hope for. It's just the original versions, as they were.

I've actually noticed that myself, too, but I guess I was too frenzied to let it bother me. That, or I've just been letting myself assume that that was paraphrasing for a quote that was cut out. At least, that's what I hope.
