But I had been forewarned of how few were made (on the CHFB, I believe!). I ran out the day it went on sale and glommed one -- never seen it since!

The mouse is well known for doing this stuff; release a title, usually animation, that everyone wants, put it on sale for a short time, then withdraw it for years. DR.SYN will no doubt turn up again on Blu-Ray, and probably for a short time. The current release is very nice. It has the TV episodes, the feature version, a short McGoohan interview, and some other nice stuff.

Even at that price, they were gone within two days of the release date. I havent seen another one since that wasnt being sold on E-bay or some other online place, usually for ridiculous prices. Glad I got a copy on the day of release.

I did not want the tins so I sold those for $12-$20 each. Since then I've been selling the initial collection with the lowest asking price being $60.00. I don't recall what I sold Romey for, but it was probably $175-$200. I only have a few leftover titles. I've made my initial cost, paid for the new collection (including Club fees) and even made money over that. If you don't mind having your collection in DVD book form, it's probably still worthwhile (if not more, since prices have gone up,) to do what I did.

Just for reference, my last two sales were Mickey Mouse in Black and White [DVD] and Mickey Mouse in Living Color [DVD] for $60 and $70 respectively but, of course, the high demand ones were the first to go.
