Seriously, this made my day.

I was so stoked to hear this news!

____ing FINALLY!!!!!

When I get the Rocketeer blu-ray, I'm donating my DVD copy to our library's DVD collection.

I was thinking that it would be cool to have a steelcase in the shape of the jetpack for this blu-ray.

That is an excellent idea

Thanks and I should get a free Rocketeer Blu-ray if Disney uses my idea for the steelcase!

I spotted the Electric Tiki Rocketeer statue at DragonCon over the weekend. The dealer wanted $175 for it, so I passed. I think it was too much for that piece, but I was tempted.

That Electric Tiki Rocketeer was slightly below retail...I would have made a lower offer to see if the seller would bite.

Thanks for the info. Didn't know that was retail price, as most sellers at these events really overprice their merchandise. Not a biggie, as I'm completely satisfied with my PF, but for a steal I would have bought it.

that Electric Tiki statue is a great representation of the character. If you guys get one please post pics.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

I've been thinking on picking up an Electric Tiki Rocketeer if I can find one at a good price.

Over at the Digital Bits, they have stated that the Rocketeer Bluray will have NO special features! Damn! What a disappointment!

 

[MarfMaster]

That is indeed disappointing Better than no Blu Rocketeer at all though...

 

[Coheteboy]

No special features? Not even a video recording of the panel they did at the El Capitan?? They taped it all!

Not even the old "making of" special they were showing at the Rocketeer archives exhibit following the screening???

I mean, what kind of 20th anniversary is this?

 

[Darth Snoopy]

No special features?!? That BLOWS!

That is indeed disappointing Better than no Blu Rocketeer at all though...

True.

 

[Coheteboy]

Pshh. I still have my Rocketeer on laserdisc and DVD if I want the barebones movie. I don't need to pay an arm and a leg yet again for JUST THE MOVIE.

This is really dumb. For real.

 

[cokebabies]

This sounds like it'll barely be an upgrade over the 720p HDTV rip I have.

That's truly disappointing, if accurate.
