Good to see its finally getting a UK release but with it being FF you have to wonder if its going to suffer from screwed up black levels.

You never know, they might actually check it this time considering the price of these sets.

Ummmm so is the news out super early or has it sold out already, as the link to pre-order it on amazon says it's not available

Wonder if the zoomed in shots will be fixed as well

Likely the exact same masters as what Mill Creek used for their US set, plus or minus whatever Fabulous do to it.

And i thought i'd fill the cup from the Avengers trailer dropping later, but this did the trick. Take my money and my first born

Figures. I finally pulled the trigger on the US set last week.

Oh well, at least I don't have to play Russian roulette with the FF version....

[McCrutchy]

I will look into buying this, but I'd rather they announced other series that weren't already available from Mill Creek (not that I buy the Mill Creek releases) and other labels. If the next releases are Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Columbo and The Rockford Files, that could be slightly disappointing.

I would much rather Fabulous got the drop on the States and elsewhere when it came to more TV series announcements. As an example, for obvious reasons, I would buy The Equalizer from them in an instant.

There are actually several small issues with the HD masters, but I doubt that this release will fix them (although I notice it has some of the missing extras).
- the zooming issue on "A Leap for Troian"
- "Oswald" is missing some footage, which was included on the DVD; the issue is that the episode was a two-parter, and had to be cut down to be re-aired as two separate episodes.
- "Trilogy, Part Three" is missing a lot of footage, which was not included on the DVD, because of a similar two-parter issue. The recut of the episode removes a lot of the resolution of the courtcase, including clarifying plotpoints about the overall "murder" plotline that covers the entire trilogy.
- I believe there's also an episode where the leap out is green instead of blue, the one with the hurricane maybe? I don't remember the details on that one.

(If anybody has a copy of the original two-parter "Return/Revenge of the Evil Leaper", I'd love to confirm whether that is missing footage or not.)

What they *could* fix, if they wanted to, is to make the episode ending leaps match the next episode.

None of Fabulous' releases have went that low. Enjoy the wait.

It won't go that low, but sub £100 is a no-brainer.

I'll stick with the MC version until then.

Fabulous usually go around half the original price after half a year, right?

Hope to get this for £80 around June.

It’s a minimum year to get to half price, may be a bit longer. Look at Knight Rider pricing say.

Just had a look and it took Knight Rider around 9/10 months to go from £149.99 to around £72.99 which is the current price. Sounds good to me if QL follows suit. I look forwards to an end of year Quantum Leap marathon.
