The 40th anniversary of the release of willy wonka & the chocolate factory has been and gone (where did the years go? And Amazon US have a good deal on a neat little box set with goodies, although I really would have loved a real wonka bar lol!

• dvd/blu ray pack
• sniffable pencils + eraser (finally get to smell a snozberry)
• book
• production notes etc
• golden ticket

found a "unboxing" video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCWAnVS1Rqg

there is only 100,000 of these released, so not sure what kind of stock levels Amazon US will have

im not sure about any region locking, especially for the blu ray

  Haha, in HD! I bet you'll really be able to notice how they did all the special effects & fake props.

    In HD, it'll still be SD blurry, but it will have a higher quality of blurriness that can only be achieved with quality post processing video software.

  Here's a review of the set:

  I have the older Blu-ray, which has been cheap in the past, but based on that review I won't bother upgrading.

  Noticed in one of the other unboxing vids the golden ticket prize (trip to LA etc.) is still valid until Feb 3, but only open to residents of the US and Canada.

    I didn't think it would be applicable to us, though I didn't think it would be a la trip either

    That really sux….in the movie the five lucky winners of each golden ticket are from around the world! Boo Warner Bros :(

    Too bad if someone from outside those countries won it although I guess they could try and eBay it.
    Wonder how many boxes are bought not to be opened (and hence may hold a winning ticket)- The fan's/collectors dilemma, open/use it or keep it pristine ;-)
