I think the fact it's given a page count rather than, say, a serving capacity measurement ("holds 8 fluid ounces," say) is fair indication it's not actually a reproduction of the Grail.

Yeah, but it's not a reprint of the entire Lost Journal since it have only 144 pages.. it seems they took out some of the content (probably all the Young Indy pages) and put only a few pages of the Grail Diary in it... you can notice some changes in the video.
Well... I'll return the item and go with the standard edition, I'm not paying extra money for something that I already have.

I got caught up in the hype and pre-ordered the Collectore's set.
A couple of weeks ago I came to my senses and cancelled them, as I realized I had no inclination in watching the films again any time soon.
What I ordered in replacement (on special offer at the time from HMV) is so much better!

You choose wisely.
Too bad I didn't come to MY senses. Oh well... living and learning. Next time I will not fall for the same trap.

I have to admit in all honesty, I'd still prefer the CE even if the journal is just a reprint of the Lost Journal, since it has the other stuff (the matchbook, the photos, the rubbing, etc.). However, since I'm still not even sure I'd be able to watch all the standard-definition supplements on my US hardware, and it'd be more expensive anyway, I've decided to cave and just get the US release.
I do at least intend to get the Target-exclusive version with the prints, though. I very nearly bought it yesterday, in fact (the last day of a sale Target was running on the set), but I need to hold off for a little longer to put my money toward other things in the immediate future. I hope the lithograph set remains available that long...

I'm not so sure, most of the "in-universe" material is from the the Lost Journal. The rubbing (only it's bigger now), the photo of Indy in Cairo and his photo with his father. The Matchbook is the only new thing. Even the "rare stills" aren't that rare... and there's the film cell, but I'm not much into it.

Well, the original book doesn't come with those things as separate items, right?

Another consideration that hit me was, what was I going to do with all that extra junk? The only things of interest might have been the tickets and matchbook.

This video is mainly an interview with John Rhys-Davies, but in the beginning (i think - it's in german ) it's talking about the recent release of the blu ray. It actually shows some of the deleted scenes i believe. Can anybody confirm the shots starting at 1:02 are from the blu-ray, or are these from some other source?

Thanks for the link, that's a great segment!

Thanks for posting the link, IndyBr. It's clearly obvious that this chrisjwebb1 guy is NOT a hardcore Indy fan. He is some schmoe who collects Blu-rays and likes to film himself opening them up.IndyBr said:
Over 120 videos! (He even bought "Hook" on Blu-ray! For the love of G_d..."Hook"?!?)That aside, here's what the genius, chrisjwebb1, had to say about the set:
Box - "Very nice design."
Tablet rubbing - "A nice, little touch. Looks like authentic. That's very nice."
Matchbook - "That's a nice, litte touch."
Zeppelin tickets - "Very nice."
Pan Am ticket - "It's really nicely detailed. Very nice."
Photo of young Indy & dad - "Again it looks real and that's very nice."
Photo cards - "Very nice. There's only 4 but, again, a nice touch."
Journal - "A very nice touch."
Blu-ray packaging - "Nice, um, cardboard, uh, sleeve." + "Some very nice artwork."
What a 'very bad' review!
The main reason I want it is for the box/case. Not only does it look "nice" but it will sit "nicely" beside the Young Indy volumes.Crack that whip said:

What's wrong with it? I though it was a very nice review.

But I wouldn't know what to do with a very nice tablet rubbing, some very nice photos of young Indy and his dad, some very nice photo cards, or a very nice reprint of something I already have two of.
But checking that link I noticed that some photos which inexplicably stopped working are now okay again.

Weren't you paying attention to chrisjwebb1?Montana Smith said:
The tablet rubbing is NOT "very nice". It is just "nice" (likewise with the matchbook & cardboard sleeve). There is a clear difference between the two descriptions!
That's nice to know.Montana Smith said:

I entered a handfull of give-a-ways and was pleasantly surprised to open the mail just now!
Can't figure out which one it was though!
Amazing.

The journal is different. A lot of Grail diary pages are added and the young Indy section from the lost journal is trimmed down. It also seems that there are some alternate pages for the other movies. Have to check it out. Here is a video I found which shows the content really nice (start at 3:30)

Whoa! I'd expect them to trim pages not pertaining to the movies, but adding ones?
