It makes sense actually. There's no reason for them to drop the others because they aren't being sold cheaper anywhere else. They dropped The Seven Year Itch because of Walmart having it so low. It sucks, but that's the way it is.

I see.
didn't know about Wal-Mart.
c'mon Wally-World--reduce the rest of them.

I'm sure that's a pricing error at Walmart.com, but it's been that way for a month so I guess they're not going to figure it out. All the other individual BDs are $18.86, only Seven Year Itch is $8.86 - that's their price for the new 7/31 Marilyn DVD releases. Folks must have bugged the heck out of Amazon to get them to price match it.

I'm going to pick up the Dutch release today. I havent seen any detailed pics from other releases but as far as I can judge we're getting the most gorgeous packaging of all the releases. A very thick cardboard cassette with a window which doubles as a photo frame and some additional postcards. I havent seen it unwrapped but I'll post some pics when I got it.

Are there any disk based extras in this that are not in the standalones?

Right, so I went out and bought the (Dutch) set yesterday.
I must say that I was a bit disappointed about the contents of the box at first since there's no info on the movies whatsoever and the Misfits and Some Like It Hot movies are having the same disc labels as the single disc versions. But then I read that even the US version is having the same flaw so they've probably decided to save money on that and not do a re-issue just for this box set.
The box is very nice and a lot of detail went into the way you take the inner box out of the slipcover and the way you can push up the blu-ray case through a hole in the bottom of the box (see pics). The way the box is designed to use as a picture frame is very nice and you can use the 4 postcards to choose the cover picture you like best.
The booklet contains no useful information and was probably added just to include the original artwork of the 2 "books" containing the discs in the US version. All in all a very nice release although content wise they could've added a LOT more than this.
Anyway, here's the pics I promised earlier:
