Warner releasing a Flintstones Complete Series set this year?

According to TVShowsonDVD, there's a mock-up of the packaging (which apparently resembles a TV) at the EMA trade show in Vegas. No details are known, except that it should be out this year.

Editing to add TSOD's subsequent story with more info.

I'm looking forward to seeing the design as I've only collected the first three seasons so far and almost went for number four last week... but perhaps fate reared it's hand!

I'd be very interested in this if it's a competent design and convenient price to collect the remainder of the series. It could also be an excellent way to include those "risky" commercial spots that were included as supplements on the old laserdisc sets.

Looking forward to this as it's almost a sure fire purchase from me for one of my all-time favorite television shows ever!

I'm interested not only to see the packaging, but to see if Pebbles and Bam-Bam will be included, along with other extras.

I am excited about this as I have actually held off on buying Flintstones, waiting for something like this.

Great! I only bought the first season and I've been milking it for 3 years.

Can't wait to snag this whole set. This new set is now on my Most Wanted list as of Today.

EDIT: I'm looking forward to Season 3 so I can hear "Meet the Flintstones" again. I much prefer it for nostalgic purposes.

Gord was talking to me from his cell phone when he saw this. From what he described, I'm 100% positive that Pebbles and Bam-Bam won't be part of this set. Keep in mind that it was under glass, though. Still, it sounded like he could see a lot of it.

Well I own all 6 seasons, so there's no need for me to buy this. The sets are great except that I would've liked to see more comprehensive bonus material. The censored cigarette ads, more Pebbles cereal ads, show promos, etc. Ah wel, I bought them for the episodes and that's what I got. Can't complain too much. lol

Message to Gord:

If you get the chance to see this again, even if the display case makes picture-taking less than optimal, I'd still really love to see a photo of what the set looks like!

And there's no reason for Warners to include the Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm Show as they were entirely separate programs and it would only drive the cost and size of the set up and divide consumers. This is the Complete FLINTSTONES...

Call me a dreamer, but I was hoping Pebbles and Bam Bam would make it as an extra since it did spin off the Flintstones, plus I swear Fred and Barney cameos in a few eps. Anyway, even if it's not, you're right, it's a done in one, so no headaches. But yes, I'm dying for pictures and more details on contents.

I'd be happy with a few extra cartoons from H-B. P&B, Hair Bear Bunch, etc.

Brad P · 06-25-2008, 05:01 PM

I'd love if they made the sans-laugh versions from the early '90s Cartoon Network airings available as an alternate audio track, a'la the M*A*S*H sets.

Oh, I already made that request to him, naturally, when we found out that the first attempts at pics didn't come out. He explained that the boxes were only shown at a one-time event the first night, and won't be made available again at the show. They've probably already been packed away, and possibly even been sent back to L.A.
