How do you like them. Prettyyyyyy, prettyyy good, or no?

That's crazy.  I paid around $100 for the Ra, Silk, and Gypsy bundle sometime this year, and I felt I got a good deal then.   Now adding one of their newest libraries?   Wow...

The former. Mind you, I’m definitely an EastWest aficionado. Didn’t get RA but the guitar in Gypsy is still top notch. Lots of articulations in that library too, as well as in Silk (while less in RA). Then that new Ancient Kingdom is heaven on earth for a flautist like me. 
Those other bundles are at least as good, the largest one being the best (if you’re into orchestral, of course) but the middle one is pretty pretty good too, containing three of their newer libs.

Thinking about Ancient Kingdom but it's over 130gb.  I guess hoarding EW libraries is my next thing. That library seems to have mixed reactions.

I have an ancient CD demo set of the stuff in the Ancient bundle, I think it was for gigasampler; partial ranges of various instruments.  I converted them to wave files so I could test them out, not having GS, and used a few bits in The Skaergaard Intrusion (newer, better mix) and The Tomorrow Option (older, needs serious mix work) as various backing sounds.   Probably in other stuff too, over the years, but those are the only ones I know for sure as I set out specifically to use some of those kinds of instruments, and they were the only good samples I had.

Ancient Kingdom is Eastwest’s newest library, dedicated to specific wind instruments, played by Saulius Petreikis:
