Tasty Tin update/alert

I received my copy of The Tasty Tin from Ezydvd.com.au and was very surprised by the contents.

The tin itself is very nice - the colors are bright and some bits (like the text and the stars on the front) are raised.  But I expected the contents to be the same as "The Tasty Box", given the similar titles and identical cover art (the product description wasn't sufficiently detailed until a recent update to indicate otherwise).

The metal tin actually contains the two sets The Goodies: 8 Delicious Episodes and The Goodies: A Tasty Second Helping.  These are the same sets as those sold separately (in individual packages and individually shrink wrapped).

While these are excellent sets, they don't have some of the features (such as the color version of "Come Dancing") as The Tasty Box.  If you're looking for those extras, you should forgo this set and get The Tasty Box.

The URLs for these two sets at EzyDVD's site are:

  * The Tasty Tin: http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/789717

  * The Tasty Box: http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/781815

There's are detailed descriptions of The Tasty Box, 8 Delicious Episodes, and A Tasty Second Helping in the Video/DVD section of The Goodies Illustrated Guide (www.goodiesillustratedguide.com) as well as the non-illustrated version in the Articles section (http://www.goodiesruleok.com/articles.php?id=6&page=3)  (I haven't had a chance to add "The Tasty Tin" to the guide yet.)
