NEW BOX SET!!!

[jopierce]

I meant with Greenguy...

sheesh...

And believe me, I know you... all your little tricks and evil doings.

You bad boy.

[scenario]

Well whata ya know. This sounds too good to be true. I mean a cape and an instruction book with working lights? That sounds pretty expensive in and of itself to include in a DVD set. I sure hope this is real. I'll snap my set up right away.

You'll have to post pictures of the stuff so we can see if you are DEFINITELY getting it. Some of us who don't know for sure might need more convincing.

I mean of the instruction book and the cape and such. Some of us are worried that it might be some cheap cardboard imitation not worth the money. But if you have the items, maybe you could post pictures and convince us.

I guess Greenguy has been posting on the yahoogroups list for GAH. I didn't realize it was the same person until you mentioned it here. There is a discussion on that list going on.

I don't do much over there, but I posted because people were blaming Anchor Bay for the music changes, and the trivia querstions, etc, and I thought they should know the correct story and if they wanted to contact someone to voice their opinion they should at least contact the correct company.

On a personal note, I will once again be around now that I've moved. It has taken weeks to move all the way to other state, get a job, etc. So I haven't had internet for weeks, but I'm back up and running.

[scenario]

It will probably will not be replicas of the props used on the series. That would be way too expensive. I have a feeling a little "mini cape" for action figures will be included in the set, and some kind of little plastic or cardboard instruction book with reflective casing will be in there too.

But any kind of GAH merchandise is fine by me, seeing as how we got next to nothing during the series run. If they include full scale, near exact replicas of the real deal, I'd be shocked.


-scenario-

[HoudiniDerek]

Good point. I had not thought of that. Of course, I don't have any action figures so a cape would do me no good. And a little instruction book would be funny...the LOST scene of DIVORCE where Ralph finds the book but can't read it.

[scenario]

Then again, I could be wrong. I read that article again and it says "full sized cape" will be included. If they deliver that, I will seriously need a change of pants.


-scenario-

[HoudiniDerek]

That is why I want someone else to get it and then put up pictures and such so we can see if it is indeed worth it.

[scenario]

By the way Greenguy good to see you again. I myself haven't been around these parts in months either. The GAH boards popped into my head today and I suddenly decided to drop in to see old faces (handles at least) and new.

Well, come by more often! We are having fun, and we'd hate to not include anyone...

[scenario]

Haha, thanks! Glad to meet you.

Hey good to see ya Green Guy and Scenario, too!
I haven't been around here much since March, kinda lost touch after the 25th Anniversary Chat...
But I found a way to get back to the board, so all is well.

Anyhoo, I contacted Anchor Bay. I really like them and they do such a good job with there releases...
But I wanted to ask them about the DVDs, like if there were any changes, such as original music or so...

And they said that 'the DVDs are exactly the same as before'.

So everyone would get the same DVDs for the 3 seasons---
plus the collectible tin, cape, booklet, and iron on.

Ya know, if you look at the Anchor Bay website and the new GAH set, it's a tad misleading.
Because the DVD descriptions actually says 'Original Full-Frame Presentation'.
But it can't be. The music was altered. It should read' Edited full frame version' or something.
It will never be the 'original' verison until the music is put back the way it was.

Good find, Ms_Lilacs. You are quite the detective and trooper. If I had a gold star, I'd give you one.

[extreme01]

I think that they mean it won't be in letterbox format(widescreen). Also, I heard a rumor from someone on the yahoo group, that a company in Canada called VEI will be releasing it with the original music.Now, it might be fake(they have a picture link for the Hardcastle and McCormick dvd that has a line on the back of the box stating it has the original music on it. It maight be fake, but who knows?? I'll investigate further on this. I'll be back!!!

[HoudiniDerek]

Good idea....find out and let us know. Of course, it might just be that bootleg site that is selling the original episodes as aired, which means you might not get them all.

[extreme01]

I'm back!!!!! Well, it turns out that the info was a little misleading. Unfortunately VEI has NOT done GAH, so we are still stuck with "new" music......for now.

[HoudiniDerek]

Is there any indication that they MIGHT? Ms_Lilacs contacted Anchor Bay...could you contact this VEI and see what the plans are?

[extreme01]

I'll try to find out if they have an actual address or not. The link for H&M was from tvshowsondvd.com, so I'll keep searching and lean on my snitches to find out more if I can.

later
