I might pick up Wolf, already have the Harryhausen titles. I'm waiting for their 2nd Hammer films box in December

 

[Douglas R]

Indicator are a real quality label. I love their releases. Just got the excellent spy film THE DEADLY AFFAIR on which they've done a great job.

 

[Bob Cashill]

Glad to "see" Eyes of Laura Mars, which should look impressive on Blu-ray.

 

[John Sparks]

Bought their Box Set of Harryhausen and they were stunning, enough to sell my TTs and broke even on the sale.

Not sure about the 2nd Box Set. We'll see what the reviews say.

I cant part with my Twilight Time copies but I'm going for both box sets from Indicator/Powerhouse.

 

[Garysb]

Too bad "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad" is included in a separate Sinbad set. Would have preferred it be included with the these other Ray Harryhausen films as I have no interest in the other Sinbad films.

Bought Mysterious Island from them yesterday. About $20 shipped to the US. Sold my Twilight Time copy (which has less extras) for $69 on eBay.
