it doesn't even have the 2015 documentary on Christopher Lee (47 mins) that the Screenbound Blu had. Although they do have that releases House of Cards doc so go figure as they say.

Release date: January 30

^ It looks like a port of the SF disc without the audio commentary.

A pity that one of the bigger UK labels didn't snap this up and improve on the SF release - it was what I holding out for. Ah well...

I still haven't seen my dvd of Frankenstein The True Story. I've had it over four years.

Nice. I may well have a look at this release. Looking at the review of the Shout Factory release and screen caps on dvdbeaver it could be well worth an upgrade.
I have the 2 disc US Universal DVD.

Good news Frankenstein: The True Story is delayed until 27th March. What you say, how is that good news? It's because they are adding the audio commentary dropped from the Shout disc.

Great that Fabulous listened to the people who lobbied for this. I'll reward them by buying this gem full price

'The Bionic Woman: The Complete Collection' - 18 disc Blu-Ray set pre-order available from Amazon UK - £99.99

Release date: June 26

"When tennis pro Jaime Sommers (Emmy Award winner Lindsay Wagner), is critically injured in a skydiving accident, she is "rebuilt" using the government's top secret cybernetic replacement surgery known as "bionics". As the world's first bionic woman, Jaime is equipped with bionic legs capable of running over 60 miles-per-hour, a bionic arm that can lift an automobile, and a bionic ear that can detect the slightest of sounds. With her tennis career necessarily over, Jaime returns to her hometown of Ojai, California, to start life anew as a school teacher at a U.S. Air Force base. Between her classroom duties, Jaime moonlights as a secret agent for OSI Director Oscar Goldman (Richard Anderson), taking on highly-classified — and usually dangerous — missions, to satisfy a debt she feels is owed to the government for making her "whole" again.

"Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster. Steve Austin an astronaut who crashed during an experimental aircraft test is a man barely alive and clinging to life. At that point the government decided to use secret funding for a secret bionics project to create the next generation of covert operative--an agent with bionic limbs that give him superhuman strength and enable him to run speeds beyond 60 miles per hour, along with a bionic eye that allows him to see details over a mile away.
