DVD COLLECTION TO BE RE-RELEASED!

The Classic Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection, Volumes 1 and 2, which include "Dr. Cyclops," will be re-released by Universal May 13, 2008.

This means the vultures who stockpiled on these collections when they were originally released to sell them on ebay and Amazon at exorberant prices — especially the first volume — will soon be out of business.

This information was reported at www.thedigitalbits.com. The report states:

Okay, we've got some interesting new announcements for you today. First up, Universal has set The Classic Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection: Volumes 1 & 2 for release on DVD on 5/13 (SRP $59.98). The set will feature 10 films on 6 discs, including Tarantula, The Mole People, The Incredible Shrinking Man, The Monolith Monsters, Monster on the Campus, Dr. Cyclops, Cult of the Cobra, The Land Unknown, The Deadly Mantis and The Leech Woman. All will be in their original aspect ratios, and the widescreen films will be anamorphic.

This is good news, but Universal's price for this set ($60) is half again as much as the combined cost of the two original sets ($40), which leads me to think this was intended all along.
