I bought the older version for a friend for x-mas and had to return it because one of the movies was super grainy.

He got the newer thin version later and said the excessive grain was gone in the newer version.

the film stock that was used was notorious for it's graininess (examples are The Abyss and Predator)

I still love my Anthology Egg set.
Yes the egg is a bit crap and looked nothing like the initial renders but the actual discs are amazing. My fav blu ray release to date!
Im obsessed with the franchise!
