I'm buying them all on video now and because I love box sets of stuff when the extended additions are all out I'll buy the box set of the DVDs of that.
so you're getting the VHS version of the theatrical-release, and then you're gonna buy the DVD set of the extended-release? ok. that makes a little more sense. buying both versions on DVD just seems stupid. Even if I do like watching the different versions of Brazil (but in that case its completely justified as they are a result of a director's battle with his studio and demonstrate the chilling effects of editing)
but if you reserved the DVD you got a Gollum figurine. its completely worth it. everything you say is poppycock.
