I love "Tomb" and consider it a classic, *but* it is a rather typical Troughton story. I must admit that after years-and-years of hype, when it was found and released on VHS, I was a bit disappointed that it seemed rather standard fare. If it weren't for the Cybermen, it might be unremarkable. I guess it all depends on what else you already have in your collection. Better than "The Mind Robber" or "The Web Planet" as older stories go. And "Tomb" has some really fine extras. I guess I just prefer "The 10th Planet" and "The Invasion" as Cybermen stories go, though those aren't DVD options yet!
I'm so psyched for "The Beginning" set. I'm glad we'll have it here in the States next year.
