Gee, I am so shocked that LFL is bending the truth yet again.

They're not. You're both wrong. What you're buying at Amazon is from a dealer who is breaking the boxset apart. Fox and Lucasfilm never issued the films individually.

But what about Circuit City, Best Buy, etc., Neil? Those obviosuly aren't from dealers who broke the boxset apart because they are IN THE ACTUAL STORE. I would imagine a retailer of that size would need permission from LFL to do such things.

Again, I really think this is simply a case of Lucas allowing them to be released individually right out of the gate, and hence the reason for the words used in the official response.
