Only thing that pissed me off about the set is the packaging. It had the same "sleeve insert" type of packaging that the Aliens Anthology did.

On a side note: I laughed my ass off while watching the first Die Hard the other night and the girlfriend was laying on the couch reading and out of nowhere she says "WTF? Why does Bruce Willis have hair?"

The colour timing used for the Blu-Ray for Die Hard 2 is disgraceful. It uses warm reddish browns which makes the cinematography look hazy, soft and down right ugly. The DVD looks excellent upconverted uderlizing the colder blue hues with a much more vibrant range of colours. They did remaster Die Hard 2 back to the orignal cooler colour timing that was used for the DVD for its recent limited time showing in theaters, but until that new remaster comes out on a new Blu-Ray then I recommend everyone to buy the DVD.

Die Hard 3 looks good, but looks a bit processed and oversharpened since its an old master.
