At the top left of this story is a thumbnail-sized image provided by our retail contacts which came along with the information from Warner about this release. Below is a different image which e-tailer TLA Video is showing. We're not sure which one is the final cover art, so we compromised and are showing you both for now. When we get a high-res shot of the final cover art, we'll be sure to pass it along to you. Thanks to reader Paul Mikesell for being the first with the heads-up about the TLA listing. Stay tuned for updates!

Great to see it coming out, but I don't care much for the coverart. Now, I don't care like some do, but I would have rather just seen the water tower style shot on there.

Same here. I would of had maybe the 2nd cpver with them jumping out of the water tower. If not just use one of there several ending moments with them from the tower. I guess we should be grateful for what we get

Great news, now if only we can get tiny toons.

Well...this made picking out a birthday present easy!

Cool to see this getting a release. My wife asks me from time to time why we don't have this (and Pinky and the Brain). But good to hear. I'll have to debate picking it up.

Ok! I Love you. Bye-bye!

Wow, if I can believe the suggested retail price I saw here of $44.98, I may have just been priced out of buying this.

Ah. Problem is I am moving tomorrow, so I will (and have been) on a pretty strict budget for the last few months and probably thru the summer.

Haven't bought anything new since March, I think.

What happened to "Nations of the World" where they sing the name of every country? Guess that musta been a later season

Its the episode titled "Yakko's World"

[Synaptic Flow]

Yuck! That obnoxious little show got on my nerves as I was forced to watch it with friends so many times. The only good I got from it was the ability to call my cursing friends "potty mouth."

This set comes out on Tuesday. I'm looking forward to it.
