In the general Classic Flix thread, I've posted the Custom Cover designed for a 7-disc case, as well as a booklet I created for the six discs incorporating the original artwork and synopsis.

My copy arrived yesterday (chicago area) from CF, and it was Media Mail.
Vol 1 took eight days from Ship to Delivered back in June. Vol 2 also took eight days. 1-2 were CF creating the label and actually providing the package to USPS.
I've never had a problem with a non-delivery (painfully...
Just a quick note, the ClassicFlix promo is only played once if you select the Play All - so there's that. I do agree, when selecting individual titles, it was a bit annoying.
My other (once again - minor) annoyance is that the Title music seems to be a bit louder than the actual short...
My USPS tracking never showed it departing LA (I was in that same Limbo). But then a few days later it was Received in Chicago.
since this is Media Mail (below the lowest priority) I’m guessing accurate tracking is secondary.
On another package, I contacted USPS, and they informed me that...
Well, my credit card was charged last night for Vol 1.
Hopefully CF can ship it soon and I can watch it over the holiday weekend (and many times afterward).
I believe they said there are doing 6 volumes.
The series transitioned from two-reelers (approx 20 mins per short) to one-reelers (approx 10 min per short) after title 56. Vol 6 could hold twice shorts as many the prior volumes with about the same amount of data.
There was one three-reeler at...
I am very glad this project is succeeding so well.
I know the early titles required a lot of work (and a lot of searching) to get viable masters.
Are things getting easier with the later titles (less film damage, etc.)?
Also, the first two volumes were 11 titles apiece, and I believe you...
Robert,
Amazon (and other retailers) have always had a June 1 date. That was the 'wide' release date.
The April 13 release date was for people who ordered directly from Classic Flix (and they hinted that it might change).
For Vol2, the wide and direct dates are (for now) the same - June 29.
From that picture, it looks like the inner portion of that reel is gone. Are you able to possibly use some of the outer portion of the reel?
Also, a few posts back, you mentioned that Vol 1 might be delayed from the 4/13 date. Any updates on this?
I will keep my orders at CF then.
I was a proud supporter of your crowd-funding, and wished you could have kept the contributions (I understand why you couldn't)
I'm so glad you were able to resolve the issues with the five listed shorts. I am really looking forward to seeing these on Blu-Ray.
I have two questions.
The first is about the various title cards. The Title Card samples for the 80 shorts that are available around the net have varying...
Just received an update about the project.
Announcement Soon, Take Advantage of Sale Pricing on Catalog
Thank you for taking part in THE LITTLE RASCALS PRESERVATION AND RESTORATION PROJECT.
This is just a quick not to let you know that the scanning and restoration of The Rascals...
If the goal isn't met, is there a way we can re-contribute, so at least some of your restoration costs are covered?
And do you know if any high-profile names (who are in favor of film restoration, and have larger pockets) are aware of this campaign?
