I ABSOLUTELY look forward to hearing your thoughts on the material, though! ...and Mr. Less!
I welcome any new material with open arms and warm fanboy heart! I really don't get the brouhaha with the packaging. Send it in a blank cardboard sleeve for all I care, just give me new peeks behind the curtain.

Now it's just embargoed old news. TBH, I REALLY missed the buzz and conversation from the GB outlets I frequent. The opposite of what I'm guessing was supposed to happen.

On the other hand, Sony is a multi-headed corporation where lot's of decisions are made on several levels. That's not even to consider the state or lack of archiving and organizing Columbia and Sony did with the old material over the decades. For instance, the Kansas salt mines archive. It feels like they've finished going through what they found and some department heads made the determination that this is enough for a new release while others were saying 'what about the other Sony mine, we should look through there' while marketing is saying, let's put out a new set to time with the Blu-ray release of Afterlife. So I think there's the possibility that not all the GB2 deleted material was in the same mine and could be somewhere else or God forbid lost.I've come to terms with my regular GB/GB2 home media purchase, as long as they keep giving us fresh material. There's sooooooooooooooo much unseen stuff that still exists. I don't believe any of it is lost. The GB2 score was once thought lost. Detmerring was thought lost. Things will keep surfacing. Maybe in other box sets, maybe in documentaries, fan collections, crew archives, etc.
