Like some of the other reviewers, I purchased a defective disc as well, but with a little bit of patience and waiting, WB was kind enough to replace the damaged pieces.
Credit has to be given for what all this set contains: The four Christopher Reeve films, the Richard Donner Superman II, all the fourties animated cartoons, the Superman Fifitieth Anniversary special, the Bryan Singer documentary, Superman Returns, various interviews and clips.
The deleted scenes were fun. In particular the ones with Gene Hackman from Superman II and IV. His presence really adds to whatever film he's in.
One underrated moment in Superman IV is outstanding moment between Christopher Reeve and Muriel Hemmingway. Yeah! Clark Kent finally gets the girl on his own.
The one omission in my opinion is from Superman 1, and was shown when the movie first premiered on ABC in the early eighties. Then, the network added about fourty to fifty minutes to make the telecast a two night event. We see some of these added moments as extras, but still one missing segment was the final fate of the Kryptonian enforcer who was sent to arrest Jor-El as the planet was beginning to explode. While it was nice to see that ever so quick moment, we don't get the extra where the enforcer is killed on the way to take Jor-El, as a piece of exploding something crashes unto him, and we see his eyes open up briefly in fear.
The scene is only two seconds long, but I wish it had been included in this set. I was hoping it would be included when Donner releases his first Superman 1 deluxe edition on DVD years ago---well, it was not to be.
One does gain an idea where the Superman franchise went wrong in Superman IV. In particular..when observing the actor who was the first Nuclear Man. What were they thinking?
Still. A beautiful package, and maybe WB should release this set again for Christmas 2007 for those who missed it the first time.
Sincerely,

You know I really feel for the people who had problems with the 1st edition of this Box Set. But with this Corrected Edition you are getting everything.
I Live in South Africa when my Package arrived every DVD was there, All the Audio worked fine. I recommend this to All Superman FANS, It comes in a Great Silver Metal Box, 14 Disks, Of all the Movies, with "Richard Donner Cut" of Superman II "Its Brilliant",
I think with all the Special Features & Extras, this Box set will set you back a great couple of hours.
So dont wait for others to tell you what to do, Just get this Ultimate BoxSet and be prepared for something Special
