Anyone buy the White Stripes box set?

Look at this beauty...
Mine came Thursday. Double heavyweight LP, 7" white vinyl 7", two DVDs, CD, prints, two hardback books, all housed in a lovely box. £150 is quite a lot of money. However, it is a lovely thing.
And more importantly, it enhances the experience. What I mean by this is that, as a straight LP or CD, UAGWNS is Jack and Meg's least essential album (though still pretty darn good, with some great performances, particularly the material from Icky Thump). But the box gives it a real context - the DVDs and books really tell you how extraordinary the Stripes' schlepp through Canada was.
And of course, as an object, it has that delicious appeal to acquisitive collectors!
Anyone else enjoying it?
