Better than I was expecting coming from Queen Productions - but a lot worse than what other bands are doing. Why the mish-mash of live tracks from 1979 and 1982 when you've got a full NOTW tour in the archives... Why add Sleeping On The Sidewalk (Live) on the "alternate album" disc instead of on the last disc instead of an alternate studio take? Why Feeling Feelings, but no other unreleased songs? WHY DEAR GOD WHY?!!?!

Way better than anything we got in the past. So, above all I am very very happy.
It's just: if you see this and you love the band as much as I do, you realise that a NOTW-box as big and rich as the Metallica Master of Puppets box is totally possible.
They HAVE NOTW live gigs (for example, LA 22-12-1977), they have more footage,... They just decide not to release this, for all the wrong reasons...

What...no Kelly Freas robot?
A missed opportunity

I would have thought they would have added some sort of KellyFreas memoroabillia like a replica of the original comic cover similar to the replica stuff they did with previous box sets. Would have added 'extra value' to the high asking price.

^^^ agreed, but this set is about being expensive, not about value for money or a true fans must have collection.
They're doing it to make as much as possible without putting more than they need to into it

^ That's an obsession that seems to be the unique thing that really matters to Brian. All this release business should be like the downside of being a rock star from an old band called Queen.
I don't think he really cares about the release of archival footage in terms of economical benefit, if not for trying the least amount of effort in order to obtain goods.

So, how many of these overly-expensive box sets, that we complain so much about, are you actually going to buy in the end?
Let's see:
1 - The one to own, never to be opened.
2 - The one that you'll actually open and play once or twice.
3 - The backup
4 - ???
5 - Profit (one more to sell later on)
