The 6 disc Blu-ray/CD version on amazon japan doesn't include a t-shirt.
translates as "+ T-shirt (size L only)"

This thread totally strips my intellect.
I am still trying to figure out
'Light The Fuse' and how to purchase that/ still available/
The official RS archive page looks like it's sold out.
But the songs that are hardly available live anywhere else
seems to be where the $gold$ is.
At least, that's what I hunt for- songs they rarely do live,
like 'Ain't To Proud To Beg' off 'Light The Fuse'
I've been known to purchase an entire 'block of Stones songs' to get the 1 or 2 rare live songs I want.
I think that it what others are saying here too.
And some of us (me) aren't savvy enough (and lazy to be taught) download/ flac/ no clue Sue.
My .02 cents.
The scan above is from amazon japan for 4DVD+2CD+T-shirt set. 17064 Yen is 'bare' price w/o shipment and custom taxes. At this moment 17064 Yen is 135 Euros or $150 or 107 GBP. Now add shipment (minimum 10 Euros to Europe), IVA (19-23% to total depending on country) additional custom charges (in my case - 8 Euros for custom processing) and you'll get total around 200 Euros.Quote

Is this price really correct? Seems crazy to me.

The set with the LP's in it already sold out, I think there were 500 copies available, I wonder why there were so few offered?

It looks like we (rest of the world) gonna get this:
Formats:
*DVD (12 pages booklet)
*Blu-ray (12 pages booklet)
*DVD+CD (12 pages booklet)
*DVD+2LP
*12” Book holding 3 DVDs (60 pages)
*12” Book holding 3 SDBlu-ray + CD (60 pages)
So we get a hardcoverbook in stead of the box, like they did with the Sweet Summer Sun release.
It is possible that the first 1000 was considered as the 1st pressing, 5000 (1001-5000) as the 2nd and 7500 (5001-7500) as the 3rd. Maybe now you will not get '1st pressing' sticker or OBI with slightly different print or something.Quote

amazon japan has now lowered the price but increased the limit of the box sets from 5000 to 7500 (it used to be 1000 at first)

Some don't get it.
Many of the old fans and collectors are not that much into the Stones of now anymore - where every show and move is more or less the same.
But we go for releases like this one.
Been to some of the shows and waited for them for years.
But now it's like a missed chance again.I mean it's still a very nice release but it will be degraded because of the missing rarities.Those were the songs I was specially looking for.

And considering that it may be another 10 or even 20 years before they touch this material again things don't look good for the rarities that are missing now!

This is a bit better.Although, in my case the price is just above 18000 due to different import tax.Quote

This is Amazon Japan's estimate for sending to Belgium (2 CD + 4 DVD + T-shirt Edition):
That's some 140 Euro.

The "missing rarities" maybe are not considered to be good enough for release. I remember Let´s Spend The Night Together (Stripped-Outtake) being the most boring version I´ve ever heard, they seem to be half asleep. I´d totally understand if they dont want to release stuff like that.
This is a wonderful package, not a missed chance.
