Have to say I don`t yet own any of the movies that`ll be in the set, so this will be a no-brainer for me. Really looking forward to this one.

I put my 1000 Eyes up at Amazon, and there haven't been any bites.

Re: 089-091 The Fritz Lang Mabuse Box
Quite a challenge for Mr. Kalat: trying not to duplicate too much from his previous commentaries, in order to entice potential double-dippers, while not skimping on the basic information needed by those who will only get this edition.
I am eagerly awaiting more details about this, regarding prints used, possible restored footage and attractive and relevant extras.

Re: 089-091 The Fritz Lang Mabuse Box
I'm pretty sure (though I'd humbly stand corrected if wrong) the transfer for the silent will be the same as the previous Eureka/Kino release, and the Testament will be from the master used for the CC... can't say viz the 1,000 Eyes though.
I agree about the commentaries: Kalat has already given two different commentaries for Dr Mabuse der Spieler! Three different go-rounds for a five hour film! Amazing!

Schreck's on the money re: the transfers. We're using the best available source for 1,000 EYES.
Kalat's nailing the commentaries once and for all.

Should I sell my CC Testament of Mabuse to prepare for this set?

No, because it looks like the MOC does not contain the alternate version from the second disc and Kalat's commentary will be different

Will it be region-free? I'm contemplating the idea of selling my region 2 Eureka Gambler and my Criterion Testament to buy the box set. I'd love to see 1000 Eyes.

Will Testament include the French version (i e the CC)? Question while in contemplation of dumping the CC for the upgrade.

Re: 089-091 The Fritz Lang Mabuse Box
No - it's not included (and not listed at our website). The master was pretty bad, and we didn't think it deserved a disc to itself, as part of a large project like this where we were trying to keep the cost down as much as possible.

The production delay was not too long since Amazon ha started to ship these.
I am particularly interested in checking how much new information David Kalat manages to bring to his all-new commentaries. Knowing myself, I bet I will end up keeping all my other editions of each films since they all have at least a little something specific to them.

Re: 089-091 The Fritz Lang Mabuse Box
Though the thousands of unseen Mabuse minions are downing tools from today, I have taken delivery of this treasure. Before even popping a disc into the player, I have to say Bravo, Nick and team. Gorgeous package, from box to cases to booklets. Looking forward to diving in this weekend.
