    Mysterious Island blu ray

    The good news. Mysterious Island is on blu ray and from many varied reports, the result is terrific

    Mysterious Island Blu-ray

    The bad news, it's a limited edition of 3000 copies on the Screen Archives website and clocks in at $40 bucks with shipping.

    http://www.screenarchives.com/title_...SLAND-BLU-RAY/

    Now, this is a guy that is used to paying less than $15, sometimes more like $10, for most blu rays (discounting the multi disc Disney packs and the box sets with a lot of printed material on a few selected beloved classics like Wizard Of Oz)through getting them on sale and/or waiting so I was wrestling with myself.

    This limited edition release might get a later wide release by the studio and then again, it may not and 3000 copies seems like a small number to me.

    Anyway, if the 3000 unit limited edition was a ploy to get me to pay a premium price for one of my favorite Harryhausin movies..... it worked.

    I gritted my teeth while pressing the confirm order button though.

        I got it. It's great! They threw in a Mysterious Island refrigerator magnet along with the blu blu ray, cute.

        One odd thing about the blu ray is that it lacks a pop up menu that most blu rays have. It has just a main menu like a DVD would have.

          sounds like a nice Blu Ray but $ 40 bucks plus shipping is still way over the top
