I was hoping special editions of both this and the sequel (King Kong Lives) would be released to coincide with Peter Jackson's remake, but apparently not. The original films were the more deserving of course, but Kong is Kong.

When the 1933 Kong DVD was announced earlier this year, the 1976 Kong was rumored to be getting a special edition release as well. And yet when it came out it was just a barebones re-release with nothing but the trailer, same as the first DVD release. Only difference I'm aware of is the new DVD cover. I was disappointed that it didn't get a better release this time, at least with the extra scenes from the TV cut. What a waste...
