I think I'm probably one of a few that actually likes the front art (I would've preferred to have seen more Jedi's used though), or at least I was once they revealed that the poster art was used on the back. I think they look great as a set, and as much as I love Star Wars... they're not worth £100+. The print run is obviously pretty big, as they're available worldwide, but this is one of the most popular franchises out there that we're talking about, so like you said... it could surprise us all and they might suddenly start selling out. No doubt there will be a lot of other sets (hopefully with the original cuts) made available down the line anyway, so whatever happens, all is not lost.
A big YES to Boba Fett! I would've also liked to have seen one of the droids (Artoo or Threepio) used too. I know all about the VHS editions... I own most of them too lol. Disney would be foolish not to release the original cuts at some point... my guess is that they're milking the more recent cuts one last time, and then hopefully they'll eventually surprise us with the cuts we've all been patiently waiting for.I think I would had rather chosen Boba Fett for TESB and Count Dooku for AOTC. Now it's kinda strange to see Yoda in front when the rest are villains. Yes, there's gonna be more releases, that's for sure. Already back in the VHS era there were lots of different Star Wars sets as I used to collect them. This is just the beginning of another Star Wars merchandise wave and more steelbooks will come.
Definitely need original cuts for blu-ray. Something we fans been waiting for ages and nothing yet.

Any idea if the steels of Episode IV & V are available in the UK?
They're mostly only available on the secondary market now unfortunately.
However, a quick Google search shows they're currently in stock at coolshop.co.uk (I've personally never heard of them before) for £20 each...
