On the Classic Horror Films Fan /"Monster Kids" board, the release of this set is now a headline topic on the site. A fan posted these specifications about the new box set:

I have no idea what an "amaray" is.
I am sure the over 120 bonus cast & crew video interviews are the same ones on the originally issued discs, and that by and large what we have here is a repackaging. Even the "booklet" could simply be compiled from the inlay sheets that came with the original sets. It sounds as if they're only giving one postcard for the whole set, but it is supposed to have a real autograph from Jonathan Frid (although it may simply be a printed autograph--I shudder to think how exhausting it would be for him to sign all those postcards).
I am guessing that the measurements given are inches. For a box that holds 131 discs it does sound tiny.
