It was originally listed on Amazon, but current off-site listings seem
to be pulled until spring '07--
Sounds like Sony wants exclusive sales to guarantee how much fan
interest for the considerably less arthouse "other" 'Zillas before
taking mass-production mainstream.
And Sony claims to have all the vintage-GZ related titles (except for
"King Kong vs.", which Universal handled) in chronological order up to
"Terror of Mecha", but no mention yet of the non-GZ's like "Mothra" and
"War of the Gargantuas". Still, we may hope.
(And again, listening to the commentary historians interview dub actor
Peter "Speed Racer" Hernandez on the days of cheap 60's dubbing is
reason enough to do these things right.) :)
