This is great news! I hope these have some great special features, especially History of the World Part 1 (Still waiting for Part 2 with Hitler on Ice!). I'd gladly replace my Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein to get new versions of the rest of them. I've been waiting for a new version of History since I got my dvd player. Couldn't see shelling out for a dvd since I had the vhs and it didn't have anything special on it. Thanks to the OP for the news!
Lets hope this is available on its own.

$60-$70 is a steal for this set. Maybe if you only wanted one or two of the DVDs it wouldn't be worth it, but I'm a fan of Brooks and want them all. I've already sold History of the World and Young Frankenstein on Half.com and made $20 and my auction for The Twelve Chairs is going really well since that one is currently out of print so I may not end up having to spend anything for this set.

new editions of History of the World Part I, Robin Hood Men in Tights and Young Frankenstein
I hope all the extras stay with Young Frankenstein, and its the two disc blazing saddles.

I think the SE of BS is a single disc, unless it was 2 discs in other regions. Anyway, it's 8 discs, so it has to be a single disc.
I wonder why they even bothered to include BS. I would think that anyone who is a big enough fan of Brooks to purchase this would have already bought the SE, which has been out for a year and a half. It's not as if this set includes every movie he's made. They could have probably charged just as much for the set without having to give a portion to Warner.

This is now available for pre-order from DDD:
http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=FXD026749
$73.19 is a decent price, but I think it will drop rather quickly after it comes out, so I'm holding out for now.

I'm very dissappointed by this release. I can't believe that the only supplemental features in most of them are only trailers. Fox is now becoming the new Universal when it comes to DVD releases.
