UPDATE 10/2008:
Here's an update on the currently available/released Rankin/Bass Christmas specials.
With this month's annual release of another Rankin/Bass box set from Warner Bros., fifteen of the eighteen Rankin/Bass specials are now on DVD! The new titles are found on disc one of the Classic Christmas Favorites set and include The Leprechaun's Christmas Gold (1981), Pinocchio's Christmas (1980), and The Stingiest Man in Town (1978).
This leaves only three titles still M.I.A.:
FYI, the specials currently available can be purchased in these sets/singles:
Classic Christmas Favorites (Amazon Link)
As far as I can tell these are the only Rankin/Bass Christmas specials available on DVD now:
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Are any of these available in other regions?
