At first I said I was not going to buy it when it was a BB Deal of the Day, but then I checked the review here on blu-ray.com and to me the screen shots revealed a significant difference between the BDs and the oldray DVD set I already own. So I went ahead and ordered it at the $19.99 price. I hope I will not be disappointed when I finally get the set and view it.

I missed the BB sale on it but Amazon lowered it to $25.99 Sunday so I ordered it from them yesterday.

It's the digibook and there never was a sleeve for it.

I go this for $19.99 form Best Buy and it shipped a few days ago. Can't wait to watch it . Somehow I forgot to order this when it was first released.

Ordered my set from Amazon yesterday. Can't wait for it to get here. Looney Tunes in HD.

Here is an answer the to the complete collection debate.
I will use arbitrary years for example purposes only.
Lets say that they were produced from 1950 to 1970.
Start in the middle! with the 1960 collection!
Then move 1 year in each direction and release 2 years for each year after that.

example:

2012 - release 1960
2013 - release 1959 to 1961
2014 - release 1958 and 1962
etc...

That way the collectors have them in order like they prefer and the studio does not have to release a series of shorts that will not sell well up front! Win-Win situation!

Release a lot of bad made-for-TV Robert McKimson directed Speedy Gonzalez and Friz Freleng Road Runner toons, and hope they stick around for the 50's Chucks in the next volume?

Do you happen to be clinically insane, or do you just hate the franchise that much?
(I'd thought you were ironically joking, but no: No fan EVER jokes about things like that.)

What's this Looney Tunes Mouse Chronicles: The Chuck Jones Collection I see in the database, for release on Aug. 28?

It's all the Sniffles and Hubie & Bertie cartoons.

No joke someone said those were his favorite and complained about every Disney short and television show. In my head I'm laughing and I'm like "What an idiot. 60's ones are his favorites?!"

I mean, yeah, let's start from the end--Let's BEGIN with "Norman Normal" (or whatever that final 60's Tommy Smothers plagiarism was), go through the artsy-Chuck years of "Now Hear This", and work our way back from there...

(And no, I don't think that's what he was really saying, but it never hurts to make a public example. Well, it never hurts us, anyway. )

Well yeah, true about that

I was just trying to make a suggestion that would allow everyone that wants a complete set of the entire series to actually have a real shot at it happening rather than us getting these damn odd ball collections. Excuss me for brainstorming an idea that would satisfy collectors as well as the studio....

We didn't mean to hurt you, but it would be a better idea to start at the 30's as I think more collectors would want from the start then from the end

There's no "one" decade of Warner shorts, just like there was no "one" decade of Disney shorts--
Disney put their shorts in chronological order, and those waiting for the cleaner, contemporary Mickey had to put up with years of Silly Symphonies and Steamboat Willie.

What Warner DOES have (and getting paranoiacally panicked about selling) is characters--Four different directors did four very different incarnations of Bugs over three decades (McKimson's was a wiseguy, Friz's was a snotty actor, Clampett's shrieked like a maniac, and Chuck's declared war), but give us an "All-Bugs Bunny Disk 1", and we get a nice smorgasbord cross-section.
And that's why they're selling characters. Works for me.

If you get the 6 Golden Collection DVDs, 4 of the 5 Super Stars DVDs, the 2 Essentials DVDs, the Academy Awards DVD, the 2 Platinum BDs, the Chuck Jones BD, the SNAFU DVD and the 5 main movies that are on BD or DVD; not counting the "compilation" features/specials, you'd have 575 of the existing "Looney Tunes" shorts, specials, anniversaries and movies and be missing 517 shorts, one special and one anniversary.

You can get 61 of those 517 shorts dispersed in 51 other individual Warner/Turner DVDs and one BD. 129 more on the 5 Golden Age of LT Laserdiscs.

If I counted right.
