Even in the wake of Anchor Bay's $60 million sale by owner Handleman Co. to an undisclosed buyer (reportedly in-the-works for up to two years, and "announced" last week by way of a routine quarterly financial report), they are still chugging along and readying continuations of their in-progress series.
March 23rd will see the release of
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys - Season 3 on DVD. List price is $69.98, for a 7-disc set with a running time of 1080 minutes and all the usual extras. Fans who want to pre-order it don't have to wait; you can do so right away
at DVDEmpire.com.
For those of you interested in Anchor Bay's sale, you can read more about it
at Video Business (an industry magazine; free registration may be required). The identity of the purchasing company might be announced as early as today, and is speculated to be IDT Media, owner of MainFrame Ent. and therefore responsible for CGI content on DVDs such as
ReBoot,
Beast Wars: Transformers,
Action Man,
Heavy Gear,
Hot Wheels: World Race, and various
Barbie titles such as
Barbie of Swan Lake. We'll have to see what the future brings as a result of this sale. Stay tuned for that.
