Spoiler:

Well, this should put an end to ridiculous Ebay auctions of the OOP Anchor Bay edition.

More upcoming 2011 releases
Nightmares, The Baby, Bloody Birthday

Just because an announcement went out doesn't necessarily mean most of the suckers know about it...

It's never too late.

Sold my new copy of Tron for $125 weeks after the release announcement.

Nice to hear about the Stuntman re-release. I sold my copy a long time ago and have been kicking myself.

Glad to see a release date for this. The proceeds from my LE set will more than fund the upgrade.

That Stunt Man LE was a joke. 120,000 copies? I'm surprised any resellers made a dime from it.

I'm gonna hold off selling it until I see the list of extras. If they are the same, i'll probably sell. If different, i'll probably keep it and buy the new one.

Stupid idea. The price of the Anchor Bay version is sure to plummet. If anything, sell now and buy back the Anchor Bay version later.

Well, it never entered Quatermass levels of demand. I saw a lot of used copies on Amazon & Half.com around $20-30. I don't think huge profits were made from The Stunt Man.

And the documentary "The Sinister Saga of Making The Stunt Man" has always been easy to find as a separate DVD, which took away the urgency of the 2-Disc LE (except for numbered edition fanatics).

The only thing that's stupid is calling Huffster stupid. There's no guarantee about a plummet. Offhand, I can think of Uzumaki as an example. The OOP Elite Entertainment disc never plummeted despite the Discotek reissue. Or the OOP Elite edition of Communion, for that matter.

I can say I've had experiences where I've regretted prematurely selling old discs, though more with CDs than DVDs (most "remasters" are a con).

I believe HUMONGOUS is coming out in October, but another label with a WWE girls hosting?

HUMONGOUS is coming from Scorpion Releasing, as part of their new 'Katarina's Nightmare Theater' line, which also includes 'Final Exam', 'Human Experiments' and 'The House on Sorority Row'. The WWE wrestler (Katarina whoever) will do intros and out-ros for the films (which can also be watched without her stuff), but no Elvira-style interruptions. I'm quite looking forward to it :-)

I managed to sell mine for 25, so wasn't too upset. I bought it off Deepdiscount about 3-4 years ago in an AB sale and got it for 6 bucks.

I put mine up the other night for half that, and it sold within an hour. I suppose I should have asked at least $15, considering the lowest price at the time was $20, but I just wanted to sell it off quick. Everyone else seemed to expect to still make some money off this title, but with about 30 new and used for sale, and a new edition with more bang for the buck at a cheaper price due soon, the window for getting anything for these looks to be closing rapidly.

So I made someone happy (hopefully) feeling they scored a good deal, and I got to upgrade to the new Bd for $6 out of pocket ($15.76 w/ the recent Borders coupon).

's all good.
___________________

Mondo-Digital has its review up for the Bd

When Anchor Bay lost the rights, the film lingered in limbo for a while before being snatched up by Severin for an updated, expanded release with a new HD transfer supervised by Rush himself. The DVD reissue is a fine choice, but more welcome is the Blu-Ray upgrade which represents a substantial boost in visual quality on every front. Apart from some of the opening shots (which are naturally grainy and obviously shot with an extreme zoom lens) and some very minor print damage here and there, it's an attractive, very filmic presentation with much more detail including some nice details visible in the period clothing used for the film-within-a-film shooting. The film certainly couldn't look any better outside a movie theater showing a mint print. The audio is even better, with some marvelous clarity during some dialogue scenes which were often muddled in previous mixes (especially the crew dinner scenes). The immersive surround mix is similar overall to the Anchor Bay one with gunfire and music filling the rear speakers, and the to DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio just makes it even sweeter. The original 2.0 stereo theatrical mix is included as well, along with the audio commentary,
They have some 1080 screencaps too- though I it looks like there might be something dodgy going on with the gamma. I'm sure it will be ok for the needs of most people though. The new extras sound great too.
