I'm really hoping I can find this one. Well I want all of them, but does anyone know why so few were made.

I think it's because the live-action tins are always the last ones to sell out. In fact, I can still find several Behind the Scenes tins at a local retailer. I think Disney wanted to make sure it would sell out fast. They probably used the early pre-orders to make up their minds about the numbers.

This more than the other live action ones has a smaller marketing group.

Yea not very surprising it's the least popular. For instance I want it not for the content but to have all treasures.

I guess Tomorrowland might be the less popluar one so they made little so they won't have over stock.
But I want all four Walt Disney Treasures so I will still pick up this one on Tuesday.
I wonder how good this one will be compared to the other three.
Not one of my favorites but still good to buy for a collection. :wink:

Mickey Mouse pal I was going to ask you about your sig, that Simpsons are the show that people are not watching. I take it you dont like the Simpsons? Granted I dont collect the DVDs or anything and Im not a fan of it but, I was wondering why you dont like them. The drawings maybe?

Well, have you got any idea whatsoever about the contents of this set, then?

If you want it not for the contents but just to have all the Treasures, I still hope you'll take the time to watch it and maybe you'll appreciate it. I think this material is quite marvellous.

Well, normally I´m very fond of the Treasures, whatever there is on them, but I must say that this was the poorest of them all until now (in my point of view and interest) - some surely find it really amazing, but I don´t really have the interest in this subject.
Glad that it is in my collection of Treasure Tins though - it should have been wrong to skip it. 8)

Yes. I've read about it. It doesn't interest me as much as (say) uncensored Donald Duck cartoons.

I'm paying for it so yea I’ll watch it. Besides, even if the content isn’t so great, it’s still stuff from Walt’s time, and not the degenerate pseudo Disney II that exists today.
