The New Scooby-Doo Movies: The (Almost) Complete Collection - June 4, 2019

[kaden1108]

Somethings definitely wrong with this release. Only 2 disc set. To where Jonny quest is half as long in total and still wac gave it 3 disc. I hope is the gangs next mystery isn't on who ****ed up on the release.

Amazon has the DVD half price at $30 while the Blu-ray only has a 24% discount at $45.69. What a load of crap.

That is the price for it everywhere give or take a few dollars. For example, I got it for $45.97(no sales tax) from BullMoose. I now even see it at FYE for $43.34.

I know, it just bothers me that they’ll discount the DVD so much that it will probably harm the sales of the Blu-Ray.

Added sales tax seems to make the extra discount on FYE practically non-existent

I know everyone is speculating about the various television cartoons show, but I still want the classic '80s/90s animated movies that aren't on blu-ray yet.

As for shows though, obviously Where are You? would be epic. But I'd also love for them to finally put out New Scooby-Doo Mysteries, though I feel like that's unlikely simply because they haven't even been put out on DVD yet. What's New would be fun too.

Amazon UK has it much cheaper I think. I read it’s identical to the US set but comes out in July.

[DawnShadow]

If you were planning on waiting until July though, the US set will probably be the same price by then, and without ugly UK rating logos behind the slipcover.

Yeah after tax I'll be paying nearly $50 for this. I haven't paid $50 for a Blu-ray in years, if ever? $40 is usually the most for complete seasons on Blu.

I’ll probably keep my UK order and check the US set price a few days before the UK set ships. If the prices are the same I’ll switch to buying the US set. I can wait since I have the DVD set and a bunch of other blu-rays I have yet to watch.

The price wouldn’t bother me if it was a 4 disc set, that’s the sad thing. I’d happily pay full price in that case. I get that they need to cover the licensing costs, but they could still put out a quality product.

[Dragon78]

I will wait and see what the reviews are like and when the product goes down in price. I am very concerned about it only being a two disc set.

I too would like to do that but the better part of me thinks we should support the set early on in hopes for more in the future

Especially given that Jonny Quest and Popeye Vol. 2 have both been up for pre-order for less than 24 hours and are at #1 and #4 on Amazon’s anime best seller list, while this set isn’t even in the top 100...

[InuYashaCrusade]

I'm torn because I too want to support this for more Scooby, but at the same time, I have no nostalgic memories of this season. I feel like I'm gonna buy it just to buy it and I'd rather not do that at $50 dollars. I'm gonna check out reviews and wait for a price drop too, cancelled my preorder.

Hmm, WHV's The New Scooby-Doo Movies: The (Almost) Complete Collection is 986 minutes, on two (2) BDs, with an MSRP of $59.99 or WAC's Jonny Quest: The Complete Series is 572 minutes, on three (3) BDs, with an MSRP of $29.99. Shame on you WHV, you should have given this to WAC for proper treatment.

And I'm sure Scooby on Blu-ray will pay the price if sales don't meet WB's expectations. $35 is a fair price for New Scooby Movies on Blu-ray imo.

They should've released Where Are You first. Releasing this season beforehand makes no sense.

Yeah, while this is my second favorite after the original, I'm a little confused why the original wasn't released first then this second. I think it also would've made sense from a sales standpoint.

[DawnShadow]

As sad as it is, I wouldn’t be surprised if the only reason they’re even releasing this on Blu-Ray is because they spent so much on getting the rights to the remaining episodes that they need to make back as much money on their investment as possible.
