I don't know if we should be looking to Shout! for price guidance here, or to Time Life. I think this is likely to be more of TL's baby. I think that way because the press release says it will be available "directly available to fans starting July 30, 2012 through Time Life's direct-response on-air TV campaign, as well as online."

So TL has a 40-DVD Six Million Dollar Man set for $239.95 SRP, and also had previously done a 41-DVD Man From UNCLE set for $249.95 SRP pricetag when the set was new (the latter is currently going for $99.95 from them, though, since the rights have reverted back to Warner and the set is in stores for a long time now).

If we want to compare with Shout!, then let's look at their 37-DVD Leave It To Beaver set, which lists for $199.99 SRP. I cannot think offhand of any other Shout! sets which had quite that many discs. There were much fewer DVD counts for Shout!'s complete series sets of The Transformers (16, $169.99 SRP), G.I. Joe (17; $179.99 SRP), The Larry Sanders Show (17; $149.99 SRP), It's Garry Shandling's Show (16; $159.99 SRP, and Barney Miller (25; $159.99 SRP).

So it feels like we should be planning on $200 to $250 for the 7-Season Power Rangers package. What it turns out to be in the end might depend on several factors, like how elaborate the packaging is, how much money was invested in the extras, and what costs may have needed to be put into cleaning up the footage, etc. But since this is still mainly considered to be a "kids' show," I think they'll try hard to keep the price down as much as possible. We'll have to wait and see, though.

I think we'll know next week, or at worst the week after.
