The boxed set (the European version, not the Japanese) is available as an
import at Tower Records in NY (the store at 4th & Bway) for about $200. It
appears to consist of individual jewelcases in a cardboard slipcase with no
additional documentation, so other than the slipcase, I can't imagine the US
release will be lacking all that much.
I'm disinclined to say anything positive about the industry; however I suspect
a 12-disk set would appeal exclusively to Celi diehards, and scare off many
uninitiated listeners who might be tempted to sample one or two symphonies.
There are also those who, already owning nos 6 through 8 on sony laserdisks or
vhs, might be less willing to plunk down more bucks for the cds, especially
since no 6 appears to be from the same performance(s).
