The release has been pushed back to June. I still think (hope) we'll be surprised with a separate release. Again, I'll reserve comment and complaining for the press release.
I have done what some are suggesting when it comes to complete series releases. When MASH was being released, I bought every season. Then they did the complete collection with two discs of bonus features unique to that set. Well I found out about this early enough and put my previous 10 seasons on EBay which sold. I used that to augment purchasing the complete series. My out of pocket was about the same as what I would have paid for a separate season 11 box. Now, this release strategy really p.o'd the fan base (similar to how many of us feel will happen with this Stooges release) so believe it or not, Fox did the right thing. Sometime after the complete collection came out, they released the final episode of MASH separately with the bonus content. Of course people had to double dip there but the financial hit was nowhere near what it would have been. I did a similar thing with the Brady Bunch and now with new shows I like, I wait until they run their course on television and then get the complete series box. It's kinda tricky though as with older product, it does depend on sales as to how deep they'll go with the series. With new ones, it is a no brainer - they release season by season as a means to promote the upcoming seasons so they aren't counting on my $$s necessarily for that.
It could be a lot of work but at this point, how many people are alaready doing that. Depends how flooded the market is. For me, if the content is unique to the box I'm giving my individual releases to my Goddaughters.
It's worth a shot if you want to do it and isn't all that time consuming.
