The SUPERMAN box set. Who knew there would be such demand for this item? I tried nabbing one the other day at a local store, and much to my chagrin, this particular retailer, who I would assume normally stocks a million of these things, was sold out completely. That in and of itself is a reason for me to own this; the fact that I can't have it NOW...ugh.
Only the first film, the initial SUPERMAN has been restored from the original print, and packed with additional features. Here's a list of those features:

All that, and a smack on the ass, too. Just go buy it. Pretend you're a kid again and tie your mother's tablecloth around your neck, jump down a flight of stairs, and try to fly.
