Ed, I also have the VCD release; I just bought the DVD trilogy two evenings ago and have checked out some of the "special footage." They obviously weren't worried about paying royalties to JZD; they included a lot of photographs of the car itself, from production and off-stage; in their documentary footage they had the car prominently featured on camera several times; they included drawings and sketches of the "time vehicle" as well from Andy Probert et al. The packaging does suck, but compared to the packaging for "Terminator 2", I think even half a photograph is nice. If you'll recall, the trailer for BTTF didn't feature very much of the car at all; only one of the wheels and a partial glimpse of the gullwing doors were clues. People who buy the trilogy know what they're getting, anyway, and probably remember the movie posters (one, two, three people next to a car). But what's inside the DVD case has proven itself better than the packaging (more than I can say for some movies I've bought in the past!). Regardless of the packaging, I recommend the set for DeLorean and/or BTTF fans. Besides the movie footage, the photographs and drawings are great for fans of either the movie or the DMC.
