A couple of weeks ago we
revealed that
Gilligan's Island - The Complete Series Collection package is coming out soon, compiling all three season sets into a single release enclosed by a slipcase. At the time we didn't have a price, and only rumors of a street date, because the studio had not formally announced it yet.
This morning Warner made it official, and confirmed that this will come out on
November 6th. List price is $114.82, which means you should be able to pick it up at stores for between $80 and $90 street price. We also now have the front and rear box art, and the latter verifies that there is no new content on this set. That being the case, we're not sure how well this will go over, considering it's not hard to pick up the three season sets separately for around $15 each, meaning half the cost of this package.
UPDATE: We've gotten fast word this morning that this set is already in stock in their local Costco warehouse stores, having arrived yesterday. Apparently it's the same item, same art and everything. Cost there is "around $65." We've got an inquiry in with Warner to check on this, but apparently it's out there right now, at least at Costco. Our thanks to Lynn Fairbanks for the info.
