Well it's not the reunion some were hoping for, it's just a very very fancy box set.

Guns N Roses are releasing a very fancy special edition of Appetite for Destruction, like $1,000 fancy. There will only be 10,000 of these made, so get on it. To celebrate, the band has released a new lyric video for the deep cut "Shadow of Your Love."

Here's an unboxing video of the fancy box set. It should be noted there is a $179 version of the re-release without much of the bells and whistles.
