That would be about when Classic Media.com re-decided to sell them as
website-only exclusives (although also available at Amazon), and they'd
been available online all that time--You just had to know where to look.
(Classy editions, too, and MvG worth a rent for the commentarians
interviewing two of the English dub actors about the days of 60's
monster-dubbing.)

Given their ultra-cult niche titles, Classic Media.com has been
recategorizing a lot of otherwise comprehensive pulled lesser-demand
niche boxes as Website exclusives (qv. the Underdog and Mr. Magoo
boxes)--Which's a refreshing change to bigger studios simply killing the
projects for "lack of sales interest"...
They know the right people will beat a path to their net-door. :)
