Picked up the 30th Anniversary Commemorative Set of Halloween today, box #10242 out 20000, and I also got Mercenary For Justice. My dad actually bought that one but turns out he already had it so he gave it to me. I was kind of hoping for more out of the Halloween box set. All they did was repackage the editions of Halloween (both the theatrical and extended editions), the first disc of 25 Years Of Terror, Halloween 4 and Halloween 5 and they threw in the Blu-Ray edition of Halloween as well. I was kind of hoping that the'd include the 2-disc 25th Anniversary edition of Halloween instead of the single disc edition which contains the same special features that were included on the most recent VHS edition. The 25 Years Of Terror disc is the also the exact same one that I have in the 2-disc edition but this is only the first disc and it even says that on the main menu. Halloween 4 and 5 are the same editions released through Anchor Bay's Divimax series as well. If you've already got these releases when they were sold seperately then you can pass this one up, unless you're a collector and want to get it because it's limited to 20000 copies.
It would have been nice if they had included the 25th Anniversary edition of the first film instead of the one they included as well as a disc with all-new special features but seeing as I only had the 25 Years Of Terror DVD and the Blu-Ray edition of the first film is included I won't complain, still it would have been nice. I'm kind of curious why they only included Halloween 1, 4 and 5. I can understand not including the third film since it has nothing to do with the rest of the series but why was part 2 left out? And come to think of it the Producer's Cut of part 6 would have made a nice addition to this set, even though I already have it.
