Amazon is good, but I heartily recommend deepdiscountdvd.com.
I pre-ordered mine about 2 weeks ago with 2-day shipping (for only 4 bucks extra) and I got mine last Thursday!
But no extras that I noticed, I'm sad to say.
Your message was dated on the 25 th of February so I'm assuming when you said that you got them on Thursday that you meant the Thursday before, which means that deepdiscountdvd.com broke street date policy by sending those out to you that early.
Now, I know that MPI sent out copies of the DVD's early and they have the right to do so as the manufactorer, but retail establishments are suppose to agree not to ship material, even if they already have it in their warehouse, before the date that it is scheduled to be released. That is called breaking street date and companies can find themselves in alot of hot water with distributors when they do that and if they do it often enough, the distributors will just stop letting them carry their product.
Now, I ordered mine from Amazon again this time. Despite having problems getting mine from them, with set 2 , I have had no further problems since then. I pre-ordered back at Christmas, and had it sent 2 day business. They sent it out on Monday evening the 24th and I somehow had it by Tuesday afternoon. The first time, I might add, that I have gotten a set on the date it was released. Sending it that way is acceptable because it will not reach the customer before the street date, but sending it out way ahead like deepdiscount did is not smart business.
BTW, there are the same extra's on this set that have been on the last 3. At the end of each disc, there are interviews and this time some of them, like with Sam Hall don't look to be recycled interviews done to be used as a bonus at the end of the Collector Series videos.
