In for rentals of all of them. Passed on the current BDs knowing this would eventually come.

Re: Rocky Collection Being Prepared for Holiday Release
Considering how many times they re-released Rocky on DVD, I imagine the same is going to happen with it being released on BD. I'm hopeful that this release does consolidate all the extras but I doubt that'll be the case.

I would love it if they released a Rocky Boxset of
Rocky
Rocky II
Rocky III
Rocky IV
Rocky Balboa
It can be like Marty McFly's family picture in Back to the Future, "erased from existence!"

Re: Rocky Collection Being Prepared for Holiday Release
The real question is will they will be sold individually so that us suckers who bought R1 and RBalboa won't be forced to buy them again in a box set. Unfortunately, studio executives are dicks so I think I know the answer to that question...

I already own 1 and 6, but considering 1 was barebones I won't mind double dipping as long as all 5 have some new extras! I'm getting tired of a new Rocky boxset every year only to have 2-5 shafted on bonus features every time.

I never bought the series on dvd because only the first one ever got a good SE, If they give the whole series some new extras. I'll buy.

I want I-IV with either a Dolby TrueHD or DTS-MA track. Otherwise, I'll pass.

A thread on blu-ray.com has the apparent artwork for this set. It's added to the OP. releaselists.com is showing October for the release date.

I am drooling over that box! I cannot wait for this! I already own Rocky and Rocky Balboa, but will get rid of them quickly for this.
Stallone has stated he WANTS to do commentaries on them, but if they will is up in the air I guess. I really doubt there will be any special features, but I do hope and pray there will be.

I love that coverart. I hope this is a great release. I've held off on Rocky Balboa and Rocky for quite some time now. I'm hoping the five that matter get great transfers and are loaded with special features. If they wanna toss in a Rocky V coaster that's fine.

I guess since this series is complete (right?) the packaging is less important to me... but I'd prefer separate slim cases.
