Mysterious Cities Of Gold - PAL Project. * Cancelled * (with lots of info)
Time
I just wanted to thank CW for your great effort here and to let you know your work was extremely appreciated.

I also wanted to pass on what many of you may already know... Not only is this officially finally being released commercially (with English) but there is also a suggestion area on the site of the release studio. If you have any last minute suggestions, i encourage you to get them in now.
http://www.fabulousfilms.co.uk/

Here was my suggestion... (for what it's worth)
Full uncut episodes would be a must. Multiple language options would be very important for such an internationally known series also. For example an English audio option as well as original audio with English subtitles at the least would be extremely appreciate! This is great for the English only speaking adults that prefer original audio (with the benefit of subtitles) and the kids that can't do all that reading of the subtitles, etc, etc, etc.

The highest caliber effort in video and audio restoration and quality are certainly warranted for a series this highly rated and respected as well.

Extras are always appreciated but for many i think that uncut and restored video/audio quality and audio/subtitle choices would be a must. Everything else is just a huge bonus but also greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for this!

...i couldn't think of much else but i thought the quality, uncut and language options were at least a must.

Just an FYI since i didn't see a mention of that suggestion info posted yet. Sorry if i missed it.

thX again CW for your great work. I suspect that your project may have helped pump some life into the retail release. Even getting fans to remember a show or introduce new fans raises awareness and in the end contributes to the overall demand. Lets just hope they put as much love into it as you have.

Like i said, i made this list for myself but thought i'd share it. It's really just compiled info from here and a few other places but since i went to the trouble, i figured i post it. I hope it helps at least someone.

Did i miss any exclusives from anywhere? If so, please feel free to list them.

Later cats,

ITS HAPPENED-- OOT AVAILABLE FROM LUCASFILM
Time
I saw the USA Today link but i didn't see the official StarWars.com announcement linked in this thread, so here you go...
StarWars.com Announcement

Excerpt:
In response to overwhelming demand, Lucasfilm Ltd. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment will release attractively priced individual two-disc releases of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Each release includes the 2004 digitally remastered version of the movie and, as bonus material, the theatrical edition of the film. That means you'll be able to enjoy Star Wars as it first appeared in 1977, Empire in 1980, and Jedi in 1983.

I guess i can pack up all of my fan restoration efforts. Is it sad that i have soooo many?
