Best Buy had a three-month exlcusive, so they should be appearing elsewhere around the end of the year...haven't heard a release date yet.
One interesting mistake - the final disc in the set (at least in my set) had the movies on the wrong side of the disc - with The Udara Legacy (the final film) on Side A and The Enemy Within (the next to last film) on the B side. They're labeled correctly (or incorrectly, I guess - listing Enemy on A and Udara on B), but the movies are reversed. Just pay attention to the menus and you should be fine.
Very nice set, BTW...the behind the scenes footage (which is narrated by Kenny Johnson) and the commentary tracks are great.

Just to bump this back up--since it's now December--but any more word on these coming out through any other retailers? Amazon has a second entry for the set saying that it hasn't been released yet, but so far I haven't seen anything.

Well, shut my mouth. I threw Kenneth Johnson an email from his website and got this answer:
No idea why it's taking so long, but it's still going into wider release. Hooray!
Yes. I just heard from Fox that the movie set will go into wide release on April 15.

I have to say "let the buyer beware" on this one. I am not at all pleased with the quality of the transfer. I think it was rather expensive for what you get. There is a lot grain and pixelation. I'm glad to have them I guess because it's better than the bootleg versions I had but not as good as the VCD transfers I made from my VHS tapes when they were on FOX. Which is kind of sad.
