I would guess with '0ver 40 hours of supplements' they will be DVD9 (although I imagine the 40 hours includes commentaries and the extended versions of each film).
Large R1 boxsets from Play often have customs charges applied now. It's a lottery - sometimes you win, sometimes you loose. Play no longer refund custom charges either. There are no custom charge worries with Play R2 sets, so they pre-pay the charges when sending the package.
My God - I've just had to pick myself up off the floor! Choices Direct in the UK have the UK set for pre-order for a reasonable £56 (including postage). They list it as a 6th October release! http://www.choicesdirect.co.uk/templ...uctGuid=660061

I don't know. I have my suspicions but I'd better not say. It's all rumors and hearsay - but some of it coming from what I consider to be reliable sources. Normally there's no smoke without fire - and the restoration team are policing their website forum a lot stricter these days.
Call me crazy, but I would love the 9th disc to be about the Aliens away from the film series... Interviews with Chris Claremont and other writers of the Dark Horse Aliens comics. A gallery of comicbook covers. Details of the Aliens merchandise... the toys, models, t-shirts, previous VHS...
