Thunderbirds (series and movies)

I saw this browsing on Amazon and Amazon UK.

Thunderbirds The Complete Series



But it's on Region B for the UK, it was release this year. No reviews yet either. I want this so bad on Region A, seriously. Movies too.

I'm in the moment, but I would love for Shout! Factory to release the classic series.

I expect they will but be prepared for it to be dvd only.
They're releasing ITC shows once released by A&E but they've all been dvd so far although I think some fans are expecting the Space 1999 Year 2 Blu to come from Shout.
Be warned however that unless a new restoration of Thunderbirds is done ( highly unlikely) all releases from the first dvd's to the Blurays out there all feature remixed soundtracks which include added sound effects that were not originally there but were added by ITV when they decided they wanted 5.1 sound.

If you're ok with 16:9 then the UK Thunderbirds Bluray set will do you fine.
You'll be surprised how pleasantly cinematic the widescreen format makes the show look.
Unless you know it extremely well I think you may enjoy it . Worth getting a multi region player for ?

The episodes that appear on the recent Supermarionation set ( the Blurays now available separately too) are 50i which might give problems for US viewers. The 16:9 Bluray boxset released some years ago is 24p
