Says Steelbook, so I'd imagine either Jumbo or stacker discs. I'll see if they answer on Facebook.

Talk them into dumping the DVDs and making it a slim Steel instead of Jumbo...

Wow, sounds pretty interesting. Thanks for posting OP! I'm curious to see some pics, when they are made available.

Sounds like a gumbo release as it's a combo set.

I was interested in the content first and foremost, so hearing about a Steelbook a few months back was just icing on top of that. I don't particularly care for jumbos, but I'll make an exception this time
