Amazon preorders are up now. Strange about the TCM stock; hadn't heard of them prior, either.

Really looking forward to receiving this!

Even though I LOVE these kinds of movies, this is actually one I never got the chance to see up til now. I´m glad that my first experience will be through a remastered Blu-Ray version, instead of those earlier shoddy transfers

Apparently the earlier TCM versions didn't have the extras?

^ Wow, yeah:

One final mention about the extras; these are only available on the 2013 releases of these DVDs. Apparently, in 2012 around Halloween, VCI had previously released versions of these two discs without any fanfare and minus the extras So when looking for the DVD volumes with the extras, make sure you look for the initial release date of March 19, 2013.

Glad I said "Fuck that shit, I'll wait" when I first learned about it.

Also glad I was too cheap and lazy to ever pick up Rhino's individual discs. These look to be the ones to get.

I popped my disc in for a bit last night and think it looks excellent -- much nicer than ever previously available. Not reference material, but does anyone expect it to be? I'll probably try to sit down with the documentary tonight.
