That's a nice set, but bear in mind that if it is the UK version it might be the edited version of TOD. The Kali sacrifice scene has lost a lot of the heart removal shots, thanks to the BBFC.
 
I was in my local Costco store today in Atlanta and lo and behold there was the Indiana Jones Blu-ray collection. I immediately snatched it up and went to the checkout. When I tried to purchase it at the self checkout the machine said "It cannot be purchased at this time". I located an associate to assist me. After a few minutes are a couple other associates later I was informed they could not sell me the item and it should not have been put on the sales floor. I had to reluctantly leave without my Indy blu-ray collection. However I will be back next Tuesday for it. FYI the price at Costco is $61.99.
 
TOD is uncensored for the first time in 28 years :yess: even more reason to buy the blu-ray set.



At last...

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom…Finally uncut for the UK Blu-ray Complete Collection

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is a 1984 US action adventure by Steven Spielberg.

With Harrison Ford, Kate Capshaw and Jonathan Ke Quan. See IMDb
UK: Set to be released uncut for:

• UK 2012 Paramount Indiana Jones Complete Adventures R0 Blu-ray at UK Amazon released on 8th October 2012

Promotional Material

Supervised by director Steven Spielberg and renowned sound designer Ben Burtt, Raiders of the Lost Ark has been meticulously restored with careful attention to preserving the original look, sound and feel of the iconic film. The original negative was first scanned at 4K and then examined frame-by-frame so that any damage could be repaired.
The sound design was similarly preserved using Burtt’s original master mix, which had been archived and unused since 1981. New stereo surrounds were created using the original music tracks and original effects recorded in stereo but used previously only in mono. In addition, the sub bass was redone entirely up to modern specifications and care was taken to improve dialogue and correct small technical flaws to create the most complete and highest quality version of the sound possible while retaining the director’s vision. The result is an impeccable digital restoration that celebrates the film and its place in cinematic history.

Alongside this, for the first time ever on Blu-ray, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is presented in its uncut format, 28 years after it was first released in cinemas. The original release was cut in 1984 in the UK to obtain a PG rating, however fans can now witness all the gory cut extras in all their glory.

The installments in the franchise have won a combined seven Academy Awards?. Relive every heart-pounding thrill like never before as all four films arrive together, for the first time presented in 1080p high definition with English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio accompanied by a collection of documentaries, interviews, featurettes and new bonus features.

Previously cut in the UK

Passed PG after 1:06s of BBFC cuts for:

• UK 2008 Paramount R2 DVD
• UK 2003 Paramount Trilogy R2 DVD
• UK 1992 CIC VHS
• UK 1986 CIC VHS
• UK 1984 cinema release

The BBFC cuts were:

1. Cuts to a close-up of a heart being ripped from the chest and the subsequent self healing of the chest wound.
2. The deletion of the line ‘Leave him alone you *******s’ when the Chinese kid is about to be whipped
3. Deletion of the Chinese Kid burning a guard’s stomach with a flaming torch (and hence discovering an ability to heal)
4. The sequence in which a sacrifice victim is being lowered into the fiery pit has been shortened and set to different music.
5. Cut to the first 1s or 2s from the shot of his fall in order to delete the image of his head hitting the side of the cliff.
