And is already out on dvd.

Not to be pedantic, but shouldn't this whole thread be in Film and Documentary? -- These were all theatrical releases.

So I picked up the fourth volume of the True Life Adventures yesterday. I havent watched the whole disc yet, but the shows I did watch were amazing. I've always kind of dug stuff like this, Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and its kin. The 50-60's nature documentarys always had a nostalgic "I'm in school science class" charm about them.

Funky packaging tho - a blend of the Disney Treasures tins and the Baboon ass tin that Total Recall did a couple years back.

I couldn't find these anywhere. Surprising for a Disney release.

Yeah, join the club. I looked high and low at every B&M here and no dice anywhere.

I assume distribution to some regions was held up for some reason. They may not show up on shelves until later in the week (or next week) I suppose.

I pre-ordered these from Amazon weeks ago, and as of tonight, they still haven't shipped. And my pre-orders from them always ship. If Amazon can't get them, there must be some delay.

NOTE: Checking again, it says they are now in stock. When I checked earlier they were out of stock.

 

[Tony J Case]

Very odd. The store I got mine at only had voulmes 3 and 4 - which was fine, considering that I was only going to get one right now - but to hear that other stores are having the same difficultys. . . .

I had seen 3 of the 4 at my Target tonight. Only one of each of those in stock and I'm not sure if they had many to start with. Highly curious about them, but was not sure if it was worth a buy or not.

i don't know if there is a better price out there, but if you order them from Buy.com using the google checkout, you can order in groups of two and get them for $20 each.

I'm really looking forward to seeing these again. I have vauge memories of seeing them way back in the second grade.
