Yeah, just the boxset of every season and the two tv-movies in Blu-ray, finally.

There's been no mention of the movies being remastered yet. Just that all 7 seasons will be.

Maybe the movies will come later as separate Blu-ray releases...

You can bet they will be looking to maximize profits from this.

I'd be happy if they'd just release the movies in Germany for once...

They're not available on DVD in Germany despite airing on German TV back then.

I think i will have to draw the line there. Keep them separate. Please.

Well, I'm simply thinking of options. I doubt they'll do any sort of bundles like that, though I wouldn't be opposed to it. Most likely you'll be able to buy them separately, and if they have a pack, it's just a separate option.

It was just a thought because I was thinking of getting both reboot seasons for a friend anyway. Well, maybe... XD

They will probably keep them separate no doubt. I will undoubtedly only buy the originals though.

separate or not, as long as we get HD quality... can't wait for Christmas!

Season 1 coming October 30 to Blu-ray in the US:

Release for November has already been confirmed for France, too, so it's probably a world-wide release at about the same time.

No word on any bonus features yet, though.

Thanks for the info Jano.

according to that post, looks like they made new covers as well...

you can argue releasing each season individually is a way to make more money, but they might just be testing the waters how good it will do... also, it sure spreads the coverage for Original MacGyver over many more months.

and they can use the photos for the MacGyver Manual Book. maybe another reason why its release date was put back? they could even add some ad for it, e.g. a page with "out now" and photos of the new cover art.

so... Funko and BluRay withing a few weeks of each other. then maybe the book next year, along with maybe S2 around Christmas?

not to forget the Season 2 Reboot DVD release 10 days before the Season 3 premiere on TV. that's A LOT of MacGyver stuff within a few months.

for once I have to say: not bad, CBS

Don't jinx it, Dash

They deserve a cookie every once in a while

|I agree. There certainly has been a lot of MacGyver releases planned. All of which are great.

"Format: Widescreen" Let's just hope it's the same true 16:9 like in the side-by-side comparison.

Dang... look at the pricetag! That's REALLY expensive for a Blu-ray. I mean, I wasn't expecting it to be cheap, but $56 for just one season is a bit... pricy. I compared it to other season 1 popular shows, and those are more like $20-$30 (which I was expecting). I can understand that it might be a tad more since they did have to convert it from SD, but... that almost double for a typical Blu-ray season.

I bought every season for almost that price. 50 euros at least. I think it's worth it.

Well, there's CBS, trying to make cash like always

It's a bit pricey, but I'm not sure that price will stay. In my experience, most prices for DVDs and BluRays on Amazon drop a bit even before the release date.

Same is happening right now with the Reboot S2 DVD: It was listed as 29.98 at first - now it has already dropped down to 19.96 and it's still on pre-sale (the release date is for September 18).

Let's hope same will be happening here. On the other hand, it might be worth to wait a few months after the release date. They might have some cheaper prices or Sale Days on Amazon before Christmas.

It has already started: Price has dropped to 47.87 USD at the moment.

Price is down to 41.19 USD now.

They need to drop it at least $15 more for it to be reasonable. XD

Am I asking too much?

That still seems quite high.

other shows like Lethal Weapon , TBBT are early 30's while big shows like Star Trek and Walking Dead are early 40's so I'm not sure it's going to sell very well if they don't drop the price further.

2 days before the release of the Reboot Season 2 DVD, they dropped the price down to half the initially listed price, so maybe we'll get lucky here as well...

Nice! I'm totally getting these for my one friend for Christmas. I'm curious to see if he'll like it.

Unboxing video of the BluRay.

It's in French, but you can still watch and enjoy it even if you don't understand it

Between Miraculous having their episodes released in France before the English dub, and this video, I need to learn French and end my suffering

Nice guy. And, nice to see that the box is a lot more compact than the original season boxes. Sometimes I wonder if it was really necessary to make those big boxes. It only takes up space. Usually I don't care but just look and the LOTR and The Hobbit Blu-ray box. That's like the size of 10 normal dvds. It's huge. Glad to see they went for something smaller.

Here's an SD-HD comparison I just did for the pilot episode:
http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/123605/

The SD version is a recent HDTV upscale of the old German tv master (which is a little bit better than the even blurrier US masters they used for the DVDs).

I'm very happy with the new version, but yeah, they really could have dug out at least some bonus features if they went back to the original film stock anyway.

Thanks for this Jano. Wow what a difference. You can actually read labels.

I do have to say though that the opening title looks like they have just Photoshop the title graphic that's been floating around for years now into the shot. The word looks much sharper than the rest of the image.
