A shame about the transfer. Added both!

At least the Scandinavian Blu-ray edition is not labeled as “50th Anniversary Edition”. This can also be seen in the cover image.

The German edition seems to be “Jubiläumsedition” and the UK edition states nothing. Of course they are all similar releases, but the “Edition” field should probably concur with what the package actually says.

And I don’t see the Scandinavian DVD at the moment.

Updated the subheadings. Thanks!
