What's really so hard for me to resist about getting this set is the current bargain price, which is a steal! But I'm starting to wonder if part of the reason it's now so cheap is precisely because there WILL be a US version coming very soon, and so the company knows they'd better try to sell off whatever stock they have of the UK version while they can still get fans to bite?

It's still not worth having more than one machine in my setup, just for L&H movies.

  
Even if you only buy the region free player just for the Laurel & Hardy set it is worth doing. There's an awful lot of material in that box...but why would you not take advantage of owning the region free player and not pick up other titles not available in the US?

You're gonna let this incredibledeal slip by because or a slim rumor? How many rumors haven't panned out through the years? I've lost count. Even if a US Laurel & Hardy set does come to fruition I'd be surprised if it was as nearly complete as the UK set is. You are going to end up kicking yourself for NOT getting the Region 2 set when it was under $40. It will probably become OOP soon and you will see the price rise substantually after that. Why risk being sorry over a mesly 40 bucks? Just sayin'...
