How Long Until The Treasures Sell Out?
How long do you think I have to pick them up before they're gone for good? I'm a bit strapped for cash, but will work to get some if nessecary.

I still find them on occasion. The Fred Meyers near me has the Disneyland volume from wave 2.
Still, I regret not getting the Davey Crocket set. After some consideration, I would have like to get my hands on it. Ah well.

I believe that Davy Crockett is being rereleased in a different package in August. Here is a link:

Davy Crockett was made for TV in 1953, and OAR is 1.33:1. There were made 6 episodes (on the Treasures set), and afterwards 3 and 3 episodes were edited into 2 theatrical features. These theatrical versions are being released in August.

The one set I have opened has a little plaque (it is no longer stamped on the tin) that says that it is a limited edition of 105,000, which is less than than the 150,000 of the first run of Treasures and 125,000 of the second run. Thus, I'd expect the current run to run out sooner than the first two. I find this peculiar as I understood the delay was to increase the number available.
That said, I found plenty at my local Sam's (especially) and Best Buy (at a higher price) and past experience says they will be readily available for quite some time. But eventually they will run out, so I recommend not hesitating.

According to the limitation certificates inside the sets, the Mickey Volume 2 set has 175,000 copies made, Donald Volume 1 has 165,000, On the Front Lines has a whopping 250,000, and Tomorrowland has only 105,000. I suppose they expect the Tomorrowland set to have less appeal, and On the Front Lines to have more, since these have been seen much less. You might want to take these numbers into consideration, but frankly I'd get them as soon as I could afford them.

And for the WWII set, you will have three big categories of people who would want it:
Those who like to collect “bad” cartoons
Those who like Disney stuff
Those who like WWII

The first 2 waves were limited to 150,000 each.
I suppose there may be some in random stores at retail, but no. These are pretty much sold out everywhere. They still pop up in used bins every now and then. And the eBay prices for (most) of them are reasonable.

There are still some online retailers with Behind the Scenes, Davy Crockett, and [the censored] Disneyland USA.
Also, you can get Silly Symphonies and Mickey Mouse in Living Color vol 1 in R2. These are cheaper than R1 ebay and the R2 Silly Symphonies has the uncensored Jewish mask.

You meant all 12 treasures, right?

The only site I can find listing these is DVDBoxOffice -- a Canadian site that is notorious for listing stuff they don't have and can't get.
