So what is everyone going to do when they get their box set? Jumping right in to the deleted scenes and extras, or watching series and feature first?
I'm going to torture myself into a little more waiting for the Missing Pieces... going to watch the full movie Fire Walk With Me first, and then the deleted scenes. I want to get right into the world of the movie (and apparently a really great remastering job on it!) before I watch the missing bits.
Then I'll probably check out all the special features before I dive into watching the series from start to finish. Tuesday can't come fast enough.

I am going to tear that plastic wrap off as quickly as humanly possible and watch The Missing Pieces, and then probably watch it again as soon as I'm finished. I would like to say I'll take my time and check out the other features, but who am I kidding? I want those Missing Pieces right now!!!
Just stumbled upon the very first Entire Mystery Blu-Ray review on the DVD Beaver website. Although the review seems to be a work-in-progress (due to the sheer size of the content), we are at last presented clear screen grabs from the TV series, along with several screen grab comparisons with the FWWM version previously available in Europe.
The colour reproduction and film grain looks quite exhilarating !
From the screens provided....i kinda have to give an edge to the MK2 transfer The new transfer looks sharper sure but in that shot with Chet for example there's a very clear colour split in the image, then in the shot of Dale you kinda get weird shit going on with the colour on the left. I hope that's just down to whatever method Beaver used to capture the screens I also gotta be ever so slightly curious about the movie taking up 30 or so GB of the disc, leaving roughly 13/14 GB for the deleted/extended scenes. For an hour and a half of material, that's low, i'm smelling lossy audio on that one.
It is nice to know the running time of these two features, nice length!
• “Between Two Worlds” featurette (38:20)
• Moving Through Time: Fire Walk With Memories (29:37)

I have to agree. According to these caps, the MK2 transfer looks superior.
Still very satisfied. Loved the menus. Too bad they didn't post the length of the series deleted scenes and outtakes. I hope we're getting a little bit more than the 5 minutes of deleted material BBFC stated. Still, I wouldn't put my hopes too high for anything extraordinary in it.
I don't know a lot about transfers, compression, etc, what does this mean?
"I see an image with some infrequent compression artifacts, but a lot of pleasing texture"
Is it just me or do the screencaps from the series itself look 'wider' than the ones from the Gold Set? Meaning their heads are a bit stretched left to right? I wonder which transfer is more accurate in terms of proper ratio.
Like I said it's sharper and the colour correct being Lynch approved is good but if the shots are accurate somethings wonky in the print, maybe the beginnings of oxidized celluloid? And I'm still concerned about the squeeze on The Missing Pieces, why didn't they place it on disc 10 I wonder? Hm, anyway, it's still early, would be a lot nicer to see shots of scenes in TP.

I have no doubt we'll something like that after we all see the footage. From the descriptions I've read, it does seem like there are at least a handful of minor things missing, plus some of the scenes that were really cut down for the movie aren't expanded (although some are). So that rumor of 40 more minutes could have some merit. But that's true of all movies- scenes are cut down, minor things are left out, etc.
Off the top of my head, a few things I don't THINK are on there are:
Deputy Cliff at the Fat Trout.
Irene in the parking lot at Hap's.
Laura is found by the concerned neighbor.
Leland and Laura meet up with Sarah at the RR (after the run in with the OAM).
The script also featured more debauchery at Jaques' cabin, including the bit with the poker chip, and Leland raping Ronette
Just had confirmation that the scene with Leland/Laura meeting up with Sarah at the RR is not included...

Laura's brief chat with Leland on the porch after James leaves?
