I like the idea of this, especially the historical documentaries - it'll be fun to see exactly where the shows are supposed to fit into the historical reality - but at that price how many volumes are we looking at in total?

A 12 disc package for volume one? I had no idea this show ran so long. I remember it being pretty good, but $117.99? I dunno.
YEAH! It's about time...they've been planning this for years...the price tag is a little steep, but Paramount always overprices their sets...but, I'll be getting this anyway!
there will be three volumes
All right! That is some awesome packaging!
I dunno, $80 or whatever it'll end up being in stores doesn't seem TOO bad for 12 discs...
I wonder if they'll have all three out by the time Indy IV hits theaters?

Vol. 2 is supposed to be out by January or so, and then Vol. 3 will come out shortly after Indy IV hits theater, ie. May or June.
The series will be 22 90 minute episodes, so how they're splitting these up over 3 volumes is anybody's guess. Will they come out in chronological order, or will they be a mixed-match group like the Ultimate James Bond sets.
With 12 discs in this one, I'd expect that this volume may only have 6 episodes and their respective bonus disc.

the 12 discs are due to the new documentaries Lucas promised..
Three volumes, 22 episodes, 12 discs? Man, just how much extras will these have!?
There's a feature length documentary for EACH episode.
LucasFilm made upwards of 100 documentaries and featurettes for this series so that they'll make for good/great educational tools for High School level history classes.
That's why it has taken so long for these to make to DVD. Plus the fact that they had to undergo some major restoration as they were filmed on 16mm film which has a high grain level.

I wonder if time will have made these any less terrible?
No, I doubt it.
Were there people who actually liked this c**p? I love - LOVE - the movies and am ardently awaiting Part IV, but this series was, and always will be, atrocious and a stain on the name of Indiana Jones.

I remember this being on TV and I just couldn't get into it. Course, I was 15 years younger, then...
Were the episodes 90 minutes each??? I can see the hefty price tag, if so. But still... $75-85 (at Costco or Best Buy) for ANY TV show is a lot.

the episodes were just an hour each (0r 45mins-ish without commercials) but apparently when they were released on VHS, they were edited into 90min movies. and so apparently again, Lucas always wanted this so these DVDs are all edited into a bunch of 90min episodes/movies.

Have to check out the movies.
WAY OVER PRICED.
Once again, like with star trek, paramount F U C K S over the consumer.
P.S. do you know star trek voyager season episodes are being price cut to a 3rd of the American price. $35.00
So Paramount, why not drop the Voyager season price in the USA?
Sell 100 times more units

Oh hush it, just because these were more educational and less swashbuckly.

Oh, snap! So Grandaddy Luca$ finally decided to pull the trigger and release this. I'll be grabbing it up on release day....
Yes!!! Nice artwork...expensive but worth!
They're 90 minutes because they grouped two episodes into one 'movie'; also, aren't Rome and Sopranos and Deadwood all very expensive, and we still buy them?

22 90 minute episodes? MY GOD! I had no idea the episodes were theatrical length, that's amazing!
most expensive volume 1 set ever.
According to wikipedia, there were 44 episodes of 45 min. each. So are we to expect volumes of 7 features of 90 min. each? That rounds about 630 min, or about how many Soprano/Deadwood/Rome episodes?
So, that way we get movies 1-22 from this box set, and the 3 feature films 23-25...

I've been waiting for this to come out on DVD. Last time I managed to see this series was back on BBC Two in 2004 I think.

Deadwood or Rome? About 11 episodes I think. The average for a season of them is around 720 min. But if it's The Sopranos or The Wire they're usually around 780 min a season.

12 discs hmmmm sounds like an easy way to overprice the DVD sets. I bet they use a bunch of DVD-5's(single layer)to "bulk" the sets up.
For that kind of money they should have released complete season box sets (11 "movies" per set) and it would still be expensive.

The blurb lists the sets as starring George Hall - Old Indie - and this is rather odd, as at the time, he was created as a guide through the stories and to set the background information for the historically ignorant. This was before there was any notion of another movie, and the decision was a big mistake, with Old Indie seriously robbing the iconic character of his stature, reducing him to some old git who yells at kids to get off his lawn. Wouldn't it annoy you if some urine-soaked crumblie busted in on your private conversation with something along the line of "You've got no money? You know nothing of hardship! When I was in the trenches of the Great War - that's the First World War to you kids - I could tell you what hardship was!"
Old Indie was completely removed from the show when they were edited together as "features", and only old tapes of the show keep any record of George Hall's turn as Indiana Jones. It is unlikely that he will be in the DVD releases, as this obligates Lucas & co to keep him alive at the end of the new movie, but it might explain why Old Indie has an eyepatch, other than a hoodie got fed up with his diatribe and popped a cap in his peeper.

For the cheapest price, check out DVDEmpire. The list it for $65. About $10 cheaper than Amazon.
