Now purchasing this set seems a lot more justified. Too bad I can't take advantage of Amazon's discount, though.
Now the order link needs to hurry up and work.

Hmm, more info would be welcome, like if those outside of North America can do this also...

Boy was I excited when i saw this ;D and boy, did my face drop when I discovered that it only seems to be available within America and Canada. Surely I shouldn't have to suffer just 'cos i live in Ireland! Boooooo!

Worth a try.

But I have collected all the other fan copies. And if Rhino gives me something I don't have, like worthwhile extras, I'll buy those also. Is that good enough?

And if Rhino gives me something I don't have, like worthwhile extras, I'll buy those also. Is that good enough? You have nothing to prove to me. I was wondering if the main reason why you weren't purchasing the Essentials was because you already had the official VHS versions of Manos and Shorts Vol. 3. To me, the set contains two episodes previously unreleased on DVD (one unreleased in both mediums). And considering the retail of the collection sets, those two episodes alone are a good price; you don't even have to consider Manos. As for the fan recordings, I'm a collector as well but it's always been sort of a given for me to support BBI by purchasing any previously unreleased episode. Saying that Rhino is only giving what you already have is showing that you support illegal copies of the episodes over officially produced ones. Please tell me if I'm misinterpreting here. I understood your inital argument that you didn't want to buy this set because Rhino was repackaging Manos, but then it seemed like you said that you didn't want to buy it because you already had all of the episodes they're including. I don't know if you're only talking about fan-amde tapes or official ones as well.

I don't know if you're only talking about fan-amde tapes or official ones as well. Well my previous post was about the shorts bonus disc. Since I already have them it's not enough for me to buy it. I already bought Manos and don't care much about SCCTM so I didn't plan to but the "Essentials" set. Even though I have the fan copies if Rhino puts out something worthwhile I will buy it. But recent releases have set up a precedent. Vol 4 had Mike's intros. Vol 5 had the Mike/Kevin interview. So if they just repackage Manos (even with SCCTM) with the same Poopie 1 that I already bought I'm not real impressed. There are different lines of thought on this. Buy everything. support BBI. Or buy everything and encourage double dipping. It's all how you look at it.

Okay, nevermind. I was thinking of something completely different.
