Nope they had long since dropped the special edition name and were advertising it as the original trilogy proper. The boxset i bought even had 1977, 1980, and 1983 as the dates instead of 2004.
I know plenty of people returned their sets as false advertising to best buy.
Obviously just a few of the oot fans or this set would not have broken records in sales. Sadly that helped pave the way for burying the originals.
The bu ray set will probably be the best selling blu ray item ever.
Sadly i now have zero hope of ever seeing a restored oot.
I have my 2006 Gout and have to be satisfied with that i guess.
