So this would essentially be the WWM version? I already sprang for the recent Japanese remaster since it had English subs.

It's probably using that same re-master copy. So I'd wager if you bought the re-master released in February, you've bought this release already. Plus or minus whatever extras are in this release.

As this is being distributed by All the Anime, am I correct in guessing this is limited to the UK(+EU?) region, and that prior US-specific shows/distributors are still as they were when announcements were made... last year? 2022? 2021? in the previous BD release announcement threads?

UK only for now, since they didn't specify any other territory.

I wonder what's the difference between this and the just announced 'Collector's Edition'? Premium is not enough? Packaging perhaps?

Looks to me like a different company has licensed this for release since Anime.ltd is a UK company that normally does anime releases for the european market.  I'm guessing this is a euro release that happens to be doing an NA release because Robert didn't get exclusive release rights for the Animeigo release that started this thread.  So I think they're completely different products.  This one is probably just the existing Japanese release where they created english subs (and possibly a dub) for it on their own.

Edit, I'm getting this confused with the Macross 2 kickstarter and the new zero release.  My bad @no3Ljm.

Thanks. So in other words, Collector's Edition is not going to have the 'premium remaster treatment', correct?

The Premium is the Bandai Visual/Japan release. The Collector's Ed looks to be Anime Ltd's release. As for the differences, Anime Ltd haven't disclosed what's in the Collector's Ed-release. As I mentioned above, I suspect Anime Ltd. is using the Premium's remastered footage in their release. So you are likely getting the same remastered footage, but same/different(?) extras.

Hoping it really will be dubbed so I can finally enjoy the full visions without reading.
