LOST Complete Boxset September 13

[hobgoblin]

DVD.co.uk are currently selling this for £74.99 (if anyone's interested). Elsewhere, it's going for at least £100.

Great price, paid double that on release and that was still worth it.

Hoping for an Ultimate box set one day, though i guess it will be a long time off, if ever.

Was that set not ultimate enough? What's missing?

Doesn't get more "complete" than that for us brits. Wish the US boxset didn't cost so much to import as that is the one I want.

We had a discussion about this last year on Lostpedia. There is quite a lot missing including deleted scenes never released, some deleted scenes that were only released on DVD's given away from exclusive stores like Best Buy and in TV Guide, lots of promo material, the official Lost audia and video podcasts done weekly by Lindelof and Cuse and some other stuff i can't remember right now and best of all an ENTIRE UNRELEASED EPISODE that was filmed and then junked

There were also 15 hour long "clip shows" shown on TV in the US whenever the show returned from a hiatus. Some have exclusive interviews or narration from the actors. They won't appeal to everyone but the hardcore fans like myself. I have them as TV rips but would love them on BD.

Throw in more commentaries for episodes, documentaries, interviews and hopefully (if it happens) they release the UK set uncut (there were lots of cuts in our one). Maybe 10 year anniversary in 2014?

have you got any source for what was cut?
as far as im aware the UK set is identical apart from packaging. so that means the US set must be cut too.

thanks
I watched the US airing of seasons 4, 5 and 6 and dont really remember cuts. Im super annoyed now though :lol:
Why would Disney decide to include the edited for Sky versions on the Bluray makes no sense to me at all when they already had the US versions they could have used.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

On the plus side at least we get better packaging than the US release, even though our premium release is missing a couple of the "toys" in the US box which i couldn't care less about.

If you want to see one of the most glaring cuts assuming you still have the US airings then go compare the Rose/Bernard scene in the season 5 finale "The Incident" on TV and then on Blu.

People on Lost forums knew about these cuts (since their just repackaged discs from the original season releases) but most still just bought the UK version because the US one isn't region free.

Was actually thinking of getting the UK version last year. But after much "research", I went for the US version instead. Now with all these cuts issues, I am glad I got the US one.

[veryweirdguy]

Most of the extra deleted scenes are on the "extra disc" included with the full set (not sure which versions of the full set) Full details of that disc here:

http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Lost...ollection_(DVD)

Through some clever purchasing at the time I have a Region 1 DVD of this disc, that'll do for me.

As for the cuts and stuff, that is disappointing. I have Region A blus of 1, 2 and 5, so most of them don't affect me, and the other little things aren't enough for me to really care, but still, I can see why people might be annoyed.

Apart from the podcasts, I can't see a "complete" set being much more complete, unless they record new material.

I would like to hear more about this:

Yeah I got muliti-region but I was a bit inpatient so at the time I was getting the UK set for £104 but the US set would been £50 more and at that time I thought only differences was extra bits in box.

I have that disc, it's in the UK premium collection. What i was refering too was scenes that were never released on Blu-Ray. Only ever released on DVD as promotions such as in a book, magazine or as a store exclusive. Here are a few in season 1 that were never released on Blu (or the DVD sets). There are more if you look through all the seasons.

http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Seas...enes#Sun_Cries
http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Seas..._I_Know_You.3F

Then there are deleted scenes that were shot and never released. Some were seen in trailers, mentioned by the cast or producers or seen in promotional pictures such as these from Homecoming featuring a fight between Locke and Ethan that was never shown in the episode.

As for the unreleased episode, it was the second episode of season 2 "Adrift". Originally it was a Sawyer flashback/centric but for reasons unknown they didn't like it so scrapped the whole thing and became the Michael episode we all saw. Here are some pictures from the set
