Eh, I enjoy the booklets, but I'm more concerned about the lack of supplements as of late. I've been watching (as much as possible) my collection in Spine number order, and I'm watching all supplements but the trailers and commentaries. Some of them are better than the films.
My copy of Howards End should be arriving at Criterion today, had my parents ship it from Kittery, ME for about 4 bucks and some change with tracking. That's a huge savings from if I had mailed it here.
As for the sale, here's my list. Bit more than what I planned because of shipping, customs, and I'm now playing the exchange, but oh well:
The Makioka Sisters
The Mikado
Beauty and the Beast
Ivan's Childhood
The Red Shoes
The Ministry of Fear
To Be or Not To Be
The Uninvited
Jacques Demy
La Dolce Vita
It Happened One Night
Tess
Macbeth
As for the combo packs, to annoy many, I usually just take my DVD copies out and give them away. Sorry to desecrate my sets, but I have no use for them.
I do that with my non-Criterion combos too. Mom just bought Maleficent, and she's going to watch the Blu-ray, but then give it to me and keep the DVD.
