Disney has released two press releases; one for the complete collection, and the other for season 5. The complete collection press release lists the contents of the special bonus disc only available in the set. We've already had a few people point out that the complete series box is no longer listed on Amazon.com. This may mean they've gone through the sets they're getting or, more likely, someone removed it by accident and it'll be back up there in a few days (that seems to happen a lot with them).
