It was released on DVD here by Alpha Video, so, yeah, Public Domain.

Already did that. I'm just waiting for the pre-order to go up for Volume 3. I assume that that happens once you have a solid release date set?

If you've seen that DVD, you know how desperately it cries out for an upgrade. It would be a great fit for ClassicFlix.

It's Alpha Video's strict company policy that they will release no DVD unless the source print has been used for toilet paper first.

I haven't seen this, but I've seen more than enough Alpha titles to know that I don't want any unless it's a title I want desperately and they are the only one with a release. I think the only P.D. label I've "experienced" that's worse than Alpha was Madacy.

We're waiting on to get farther along in the restoration process for Volume 3 titles prior to announcing an official street date.

Also, pre-sales for Volume 1 have been below expectations so we're also waiting to see what the June 1st street date sales push looks like before committing to a solid street for Volume 3.

I'm curious what you consider 'pre-sales'. Are you tallying just CF sales, or from all retailers?

I ordered directly from CF (V1 & V2), but I know that my son ordered via Amazon (also V1 & V2).

Well, that's disappointing.

Agreed. I have a feeling that a lot of people who would be interested in the Little Rascals are waiting for the Spanky/Alfalfa episodes and are not completists.

Sales on our site have actually been good, but retail has not. Retail usually sells X amount over what our pre-sale numbers are and the X number is very low compared to what it should be.

I'm expecting a big push in the next few weeks and that will help solidify a Volume 3 street date.

Below you'll find the official custom trailer we cut for The Little Rascals - The ClassicFlix Restorations, Volume 1.

We've also posted a Volume 1 Restoration Comparison reel.

ENJOY!

So happy to see The Little Rascals - The ClassicFlix Restorations, Volume 1 is shipping. Now the 2 month wait for Volume 2.

garyd97 · 05-25-2021, 05:16 PM

Got my shipping notice! Excited to watch this.

Someone seems to have found a few copies of Raw Deal on Blu-ray for a reasonable price and they are up on eBay. Get it while you can, as according to ClassicFlix this is OOP and there is no more stock.

Likely a couple of returns from our distributor from one retailer that made their way back out to another.

Snatch them while they're still available.

It's even cheaper here: https://www.blowitoutahere.com/raw-deal/851968007262

On this date seventy years ago, additional interior scenes were filmed for episodes two, five and six of the Abbott and Costello Show. We were very privileged to get a glimpse into the backroom of Mr. Bacciagalupe's bakery!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...n-one-restored

We are currently 96% funded and $957.00 short of reaching our goal. If we can sell just twenty more copies of the Blu-ray, I will unlock the first stretch goal and it's a gem. You'll have an opportunity to hear incredibly rare audio from the show that has never been heard before!

Please share this campaign and help us to reach our goal. Thank you!

ClassicFlix · 06-01-2021, 06:37 PM

Thank you for those that pre-ordered, but Volume 1 streets today and it's back ordered everywhere EXCEPT ON OUR SITE:

Does this mean sales picked up in the final week and it's doing decently?
