Original Setting
64 pages on the planes
96 pages on the Sigil and the Outlands
30ish pages for players.

Total: 180ish pages of setting and covered all of the planes

New Boxed Set
96 pages on Sigil and the Outlans

Total: Around half the setting material of the original boxed set, not more.

I would have liked to see a 200-250ish page setting book that gave us the entire setting. Planescape is one of my favorite settings. The Sword Coast Adventure Guide has shown us that once WotC has released a sliver of a setting, they don't finish it up.

Edit: I missed that you were talking about the adventure adding more. It will probably add a bit, but still fall way short of the original amount of setting material.

i still have all my Planescape box sets materials and maps, so really don't need this, as the fluff i have and the mechanics i can do my self.

What the hell are those horns growing from? Was there any thought put into this?

Yeah that's ... not my favourite bit of recent D&D art, in execution or concept.

There's something weird going on with the forefinger of the fisted hand too. At least i think that's what the thing there is meant to be.

Many Decks, Many Things

 

[Dante Ravenkin]

I really hope this hits Canadian shops tomorrow too. I've been eagerly anticipating this set since the moment they announced it!

 

[Shardstone]

I can say that Bigby's and Deck of Many Things are both top-tier RPG books.
