I hope you're correct, only time will tell if he makes an excuse.

I'm a bit mystified at the milking comments... are they supposed to just keep releasing the same packaging? That's marketing 101... I don't think it's intended that anyone rebuy this new set if they already have it on DVD. Despite umpteen releases on VHS, they would still sell out, woudln't they, which necessitated a new release?

I don't buy DVD anymore, of course, so wouldn't touch these with a 10 foot pole. I do very much hope to get all 6 movies on Blu-ray, though. The DVDs have Dolby EX, so I imagine, we'll see TrueHD... hopefully at least 6.1 to match the Dolby EX but I would love 7.1 LPCM!

Make that carrot sweeter!

I've only got 1 set of the VHS's and 1 set of the DVD's. Still have both of them, we can all agree they will eventually come to blu, just when that will happen...

If he does not include the original versions (unaltered) on blu - remastered with at least 5.1 sound......that will prompt me to not buy them and just play my DVD copies. If you recall, the versions in the best buy tin where 2.0, non-anamorphic, not really cleaned up at all...
