Do 11 disc Blu-ray cases even exist? I'm only aware of up to 10. If it's more than that, I feel they break it up into multiples cases (maybe with a cardboard case of some kind to slip them into) or put it in some kind of DVD packaging.

Maybe they will break it up into seasons

WAIT YOUR RIGHT! There was only Volume 1 from 2005. took 20 years for the rest lol

These Hanna-Barbera Blu-ray releases are great and all but I hope we won't have to wait for the entire HB catalogue to receive Blu-ray treatment before we start getting Warner Bros.' 90s cartoons like Animaniacs or Freakazoid.

Yet no more Tom and Jerry....

[Brown Jenkin]

Huckleberry was my favorite of all the HB characters before my time (born in late '73). I'm pretty stoked for this massive release.

[PonyoBellanote]

Considering this set is obviously intended for adult audiences and collectors I'm thinking Warner will put in the disc as much as they legally can.

[Dragon78]

It's about time.

Those prices are going to be a hard sell for a lot of people. The good news is, we get the entire series. What people may not realize is that there are other characters included in the series (i.e., Yogi Bear and Pixie & Dixie (mice)). This is going to be a great set.

$70? Yikes. Yes, that is an intimidating price tag, imho, for this. I would gladly pay $15-20 for the first season or two, but not sure I would ever get through all 2,175 minutes of material over 11 discs! Definitely on my "if there is ever an insane sale on this set, then I will get it" list. Must be nirvana, though, for hard core fans.

That was quick. I kinda figured the price would probably be around that. Hopefully it will go down soon after it is on Amazon.

Since we’re talking about 11 discs and over 36 hours of content, my first thought is, “ONLY $70?” We are living in hard times and are all making decisions about what we “need”, but this might literally be the most cost effective vintage animation box set ever. The Golden Collections were $60 for four discs and the ‘90s laserdiscs were $100, for about 1/4 the content.

agree. The price value for the content is absolutely there. I am just not THAT big a fan of Huckleberry Hound to fork over $70. For fans, agree this is fairly priced.

New accounts can bring it down to $55.99 at GRUV with the code SIGNUP20

I agree, I've passed on similar sets where I knew the value was there but I wasn't a fan. I also have doubts of ever getting through all of this, especially when I've quickly learned these things are best limited to 30 minutes a day, once in a while. But I get WAC's reasoning to do everything in one: we had to wait 20 years to even get the rest of the series out period. This is their one chance to get it all out at all.

Agree. I am STILL going through all my TV box sets. Too many and I tend not to binge watch these, so they take a LONG time to get through. I have no idea of when I will even finish the Mission Impossible TV series - 7 years of 1 hour episodes! I admit I find cartoon compilations more problematic as I really can't sit even through an entire disc at one time. And by the time I get around to watching it again, I forget which episodes I saw!

[billlythekid]

Its around £50 for UK importers which i thinks close to a steal.

I hope they include his appearance on Behind the laughter

I'm really dying to know what they're going to do with the Bumpers. MeTV Toons ran some, but there are many that were on the old DVD and on YouTube that they didn't run.

I don't know if WB didn't give them to MeTV Toons, or if the programmers considered Black and White or faded 16mm to be unairable, but I hope this new Blu-Ray includes as many as possible.

I'm hoping for the bumpers too. I can remember watching these during their first airings when I was 4 years old. Many of the cartoons still have some adult appeal, particularly the YOGI ones and the added attraction of their beautiful mid-century animation design and the Jinks ones which are often agelessly funny.

How could they put all the episodes in 11 discs?
