I imagine this is what will be released in April. Still don't know how they were available for sale here In Canada and not in the U.S. Also "Author, Author" and "Panic In Needle Park" is not included in this set, but there was a rectangle "Also Available" insert included in the box. If anyone's interested in scans of this or the covers i can post them.

Anyway, still waiting for Cruising.

OK, in 4 days (on 6/19) this set is supposed to be released yet again.
DVD empire has back cover art for the set and it appears to come in a box with 4 slim line cases for each disk in the set.
i am about to pre-order this from DD but amazon appears to not even have a listing for this so my question is, can anyone confirm that is is going to be coming out this time?
It seems that this was never going to be released with all of these delays.

Why doesn't amazon have this set (the one with Looking For Richard)? It's available through some market place sellers, but not amazon itself - or any other website for that matter. What gives? Has anyone been able to find this at stores like Best Buy?

Nice call with Frys - they had it on sale too ($24), which is pretty good for two movies, a short film and a documentary, not to mention the extras with Al.
Though I have to bitch about it's packaging. Since these discs will only be available in this set, why did they package them in 4 separate, full-sized amaray cases? They could have just jammed thim into a nice little digipack that could've taken up half the space. Or heck, instead of 4 discs, the whole shebang could've easily fit onto to two discs - single sided ones at that. Oh well.
