Uhh? In case you haven't noticed, I'm in Australia too! But you're right, we don't have locally released Evil Dead Trilogy boxed sets here. I got mine from "Rocking Horse" store, where they import hard to find CD, LPs and DVD's. 🙂
I just rewatched Evil Dead and I must say, although the monster effects of that movie were dated, it features one of the most awesome camera work I've seen.

Army of darkness was a good movie, evil dead was a great horror flick, with a few more jokes evil dead 2 would have been a straight comedy. I think with AOD Raimi just went down the route he was hinting at with evil dead 2. I mean it would have been really hard making a serious horror movie with ash after evil dead 2. Fans were expecting some more of that edgy dark comedy from number two, even though all we got was slapstick, i think number three would have been better with more dark humor and risk taking than just a stooge montage. Dont get me wrong though army of darkness is a classic and always will be, but i believe it was a stone kill for the series.
Blame Dino DiLaurentis and company for the change in style... they obviously wanted to take the Evil Dead series in a different direction, which resulted in the more "light-hearted" approach to the film. Still, leave it to Campbell to make the film a classic in its own right.

Army of Darkness is on TV in about a week so I'm gonna watch it, I haven't seen ED1 or 2 yet but oh well.
Don't worry. You wouldn't have to have seen either "Evil Dead" movies to enjoy "Army of Darkness". They are pretty much two totally different movies, save Ash thrown in for continuity. It's very slapsticky, silly fun.

Nnnnnnnno, New Line definately doesn't own the rights to the franchise. Not yet anyway. I think Myth and myself are safe, there.
