These are available at Amazon for about $100 for the 3 sets. I included the Amazon UK links because I got them for $54 shipped to the US.
Not too shabby for 20 of the bands best albums on 12 discs total.
These are the original recordings, Not the tampered versions that Edgar Froese released in the late 90s early 2000s.
The remasters are very well done. not louder for the sake of being louder.

Thanks for posting about these! I'll certainly pick up the Froese set -- the original CDs sound pretty bad, and the original Ages CD is missing the last song from the original album. I question their decision to spread five albums over four CDs -- I always hate it when album collection box sets are put together like that -- but hopefully the improved sound, restored song, and bonus tracks will make up for that. I'll pass on the TD boxes, since I'm perfectly happy with the old "definitive" Virgin remasters.

Yep, I just ordered from Amazon UK for $21 shipped. For 5 remastered albums (assuming the remastering is good), that's a steal. And properly sequencing them on iTunes, complete with original cover art, is exactly what I plan to do.
