So, now that the Legendary Science Fiction collection has become the lesser versions of those movies (except for First Men in the Moon) with the recent colorized 2-Disc releases, is the Legendary Monsters set becoming obsolete as well? These movies don't have to be colorized so all they can do really is add more bonus features.

RayHarryhausen.com also mentions this release will contain "a documentary; six featurettes, and more" which may make this worthwhile. The site also shows a Blu-Ray release of the Ray Harryhausen Collection which includes all the recently 2-Disced releases (including this one) to be released also on October 7th. If they are going to continue 2-Discing these why not wait until they're all out for something to be called the Ray Harryhausen Collection?

I have the original Sinbad box set, but I will probably get this too.

The Ray Harryhausen Collection looks pretty cool - it includes a Ymir figure, from 20 Million Miles:



More pix here.

5.1 Surround Sound? cool. The earlier version that I have is just mono.
I'll get this just for that reason.

Why do these pictures say "3 Movie Classics" and that It Came From Beneath the Sea, Earth vs. The Flying Saucers, and 20 Million Miles to Earth are the only movies included when yesterday, the official Ray Harryhausen site said it also included The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. Here is the picture, still on the site, that lists this title on the top of the case:



The site also doesn't mention a DVD release just the Blu-Ray. Maybe the Blu-Ray will include it and not the DVD? Maybe the official site's just wrong. One more thing worth mentioning is the official site says this about the Ymir figurine:

"...based on Ray Harryhausen’s original 1957 hand-crafted design and signed by Ray Harryhausen himself."

Is this an actual signature or printing of his signature?
