^You must have missed the D23 marketing as well as the small marketing of making it in store circulars.

Didn't see anything in store circulars but I'm glad people found "Zorro" anyway. Still, there should be more effort next time if they want to reach beyond those who already know about it and maybe open-editions so everyone who wants one can get one before it sells out... (last week I saw a copy of "Dr. Syn" selling for $100, at a used DVD shop in Hollywood).

^I agree they should have marketed them better. For Dr. Syn, that release was a mess from day one with scalpers. Same goes for the Disneyland release.

And why in hell didn't they produce more tins of the Donalds sets vol 3 and 4 if they don't expect there arguably biggest star not to sell then they can only have themselfs to blame if pepole lose there interest in the line.

Risk and reward. Yes, they could make a ton over time, but look at the Mickey sets. There were around 125k sets over 5 years ago and there are still stores with them (even saw Volume 2 of the Color ones tonight at Best Buy.) Classic Disney cartoons at the price $30-$50 just don't move units.

Ludwig Von Drake (18 episodes of Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color)
Ranger Woodlore and Humphrey Bear (all shorts plus 4 hour WWoC shows)
Jiminy Cricket (all educational shorts, MMC shorts, plus all 6 Jiminy hosted hour shows)
Chip an' Dale (all shorts, plus Walt Disney Presents hour show)
The Magic Mirror (all 6 TV hours, including Walt's first two TV specials)
Disneyland Volume 3 (all remaining TV hours including Disneyland Showtime!)
Mickey, Donald and Goofy on TV (TV hours featuring all the standard characters)

This should have been the final wave of WDT treasures. Just to aviod double dipping this should have been on giant set like the Zorros

The tins add unnecessary value to the sets, so they should have offered tinless sets form day one of the series.

I know it will never happen but I wish they would re-release some of these. There are a few sets I really want but cannot afford the price that ebay is commanding. I don't care about tins, the DVDs are what matter.
I've managed to get a few sets by buying the cheaper italian sets but even then there are many that were never released in Region2.

It would be amazing if Disney re-released them to bluray. It must be long enough now that people would gladly double dip and those of us who missed out could rejoice.

The first wave, which wasn't around long due to DVD not even being the dominant format yet when released, came out 13 years ago. 13 freaking years ago!! Today's youngest teenagers were born after the first wave came out! They're way overdue to rerelease these shorts.
