Yeah my favorite intro D&D sets (Red box isn't really an "intro" product, as you and others said it's the whole game) are the big Black "classic" box from 1991(2?) with Zanzar's dungeon and the 1999 "Dungeons and Dragons Adventure game." The first allowed for character creation and the second one didn't BUT both included quite lenghty adventures; which is the key IMO.
