I wish Disney would take a page from the playbook of Fox with the release of season 5 of Lost and bring it out after the season finishes instead of waiting till December to release it.

Yeah but hey at least you gotta give Disney credit that most of the time they make it worth the wait.

So, they could still get that sucker out by the summer at the latest. I hate waiting for things. :p :hehe:
 
War Party uses the same frames I use for my movie posters.
 
Some price drops on Amazon.com that should probably be mentioned.

The X-Men Trilogy was $54.99 and just dropped down to $48.49.

Every MGM catalog title coming June 2nd has dropped down to $15.99 each.
