Last Friday we posted a gallery of pictures showing off Time Life's online-exclusive release of The Real Ghostbusters - The Complete Series, most of them exclusive to our site. And we give thanks to you, our readers and the fans of the show, for the tremendous response to those images. But it was noticed that most of the "group" pictures only showed 4 of the 5 SteelBooks at a time (that's because the Volume 1 SteelBook was shown "open"). And also that the close-ups of most of the SteelBook front cover art was just a flat shot; not the actual rounded SteelBook pictures as we saw with Volume 2. Well, we asked Time Life to help us out and get our readers some better looks at those SteelBooks, and we are VERY grateful to them for obliging! So below are 8 brand-new pictures, which are, as far as we know, exclusive to our site).
On a different topic concerning the The Real Ghostbusters - The Complete Series release: a couple of readers have passed along word that they received cancellation notices for their pre-orders from Time Life, despite previously getting word from us and e-mails from the company stating that their orders would not be canceled. We've alerted Time Life about this, so they can look into it and hopefully get it resolved quickly. If we find out anything else regarding this situation that's worth passing along to readers, we will. For now, we just wanted readers and fans to know that we, and Time Life, are aware of the issue.
Now, here are all the new pics (UPDATE: Time Life has now also provided us with a brief animation video that shows the five SteelBook packages from all angles; you'll find it at the bottom...check out how the rear art shows the Ghostbusters logo getting sucked down into one of the traps!):
