Maybe it's the mistake on the back of the box that made them delay the set? The comment that the series "comes to DVD for the first time with three original episodes" is a wildly inaccurate description of the box set.
Let's all cross our fingers and hope that the reason for the delay is that they're going to add 'The Jolly Rogers' (the lost episode).

With copies going for $270-$400 I’d have to be stupid not to see what it can go for. It’s still sealed so it’s got nothing to do with being disappointed with it, more of having some bills to pay!

As present it appears that it is not. Whether that’s down to rights problems or packaging errors is not known. Seems strange that DDD and DVDPlanet seemed to have the only stock available but maybe they negotiated an exclusive and this could have now run out. DDD say the set has been discontinued with no new date showing for re-release and they have 0 copies in stock. I ordered this way back in November and hoped it would ship then. This was well before the price started going nuts.

TVshows on DVD says this is completely cancelled for now (the story mentions a similar note to the one above):
There's more, but that's the improtant part.
This week the word started drifting in from those retailer contacts: the set is no longer planned to be released at all. "Cancelled" was the word, over and over again. And then, to seal the deal, TVShowsOnDVD reader Eddie Brock forwarded a note to us the other day. He had asked BMG directly about the set, and what the proposed date this month would be. The reply was short:
Dear Eddie,
The Eerie Indiana release date has been put on hold indefinitely.
That is all of the information that I have at this time.
Please check back at a later date.
And that's all she wrote, folks. "Don't hold your breath" seems to be the advice to follow here. Perhaps the release got caught up in rights issues, like so many have before. If so, BMG ain't sayin'. Frankly, that note is the first indication we've seen from the company that admits the release even existed. For the few copies that leaked out before the recall, I expect they will turn into prized collector items.

This news is really disappointing. The first eerie indiana dvd was my first tv show that I bought on dvd and one of the first dvds that I bought. I put my order in at ddd on 10/30/03. It shows a shipdate of 1/27. I guess I'll see tomorrow if it ships. I have a feeling that it won't

I mean, if you're gonna send them the petition anyway, they should be told about that, I think.

Has anyone else who received this set noticed that the 5.1 Surround sound mix on the second disc is horrible? The voices come out of the left and right front speakers, and all sound effects are echoey and come out of the rear speakers for no reason.
It reminds me of the crappy 5.1 mix BMG did for "My So-Called Life." It's so distracting that I've been selecting the Stereo mix instead.
The 5.1 mix on the first disc is much better. I haven't checked the sound on the other three discs yet, but I'm not expecting it to improve.
I doubt this is the reason BMG pulled the set, but it is inconsistent and bothersome.
Also, for anyone who's wondering, the video quality of the episodes on disc two seems identical to that of the first disc, which means it's not great -- way blurry for a show that's only 12 or 13 years old.

Well, I signed the petition. I'd like to get my hands on this too. Not for resale at exorbitant amounts of money, but this was a damn good show. T
I'll be honest, though, the fact that it's so elusive makes me want it more now.
