Sparkling with one unforgettable, landmark animated marvel after another, there's that icon of carrot-crunching aplomb, Bugs Bunny, in a dazzling assortment of his very best classic shorts.

Including an array of exclusive bonus DVD features from expert commentaries to insights into the evolution of these classic characters, this is the ultimate animated experience for anyone who's ever thrilled to the timeless query: "Ehhh? what's up, Doc?"

Yes, here on four discs you'll find 60 more of the finest, funniest, bestest Golden Era cartoons from the feverishly bent artistic minds at Termite Terrace. Disc 1 showcases a certain wascally wabbit. The happiness of pursuit is center stage in Disc 2 and 3's respective batches of Road Runner and Sylvester/Tweety fun. Disc 4 is an all-star cavalcade of Hollywood parodies and more. All 60 toons are restored, remastered, uncut. And each disc is chock-a-block with bonus goodies. It's a 24-carrot gem of a collection.

    For anyone interested, this is NOT "complete".

    On 24 dvd's you wouldn't expect it to be. 360 episodes is a lot and it's a great price but don't get your hopes too high because what you want likely isn't actually included. Read the fine print and don't get burnt, ok? :)

    • bargainjargon on 27/05/2013 - 12:35

      Could you give us more info? Not saying you're wrong, I'm just curious as to what's not included and what you meant by "what you want likely isn't actually included".

    • dein_gesicht on 27/05/2013 - 14:50

      Who cares it's not complete - it's an awesome price. It's not as if you need to see all eps to make sense of the show :)

      • dd22qq on 28/05/2013 - 01:46

        Who cares? Completists care, that's who.

      • justtoreply on 28/05/2013 - 15:03

        Eh? I SAID that mate :) It's a great price. And it's ok that its not complete… but in some instances you may be disappointed! Eg: If you like Pepe le=pew or foghorn leghorn. Or even if you want more than half the bugs bunny episodes. Look at my new post below for info.

    • Infraction on 27/05/2013 - 18:08

      I'm curious to know specifically what's missing that you think we'll notice?

    • DEvok on 28/05/2013 - 00:01

        @ all the responses above:

        http://www.amazon.com/Looney-Tunes-Golden-Collection-1-6/dp/…

        It took me a long time to get through this set and after cataloguing and cross referencing every film heretofore collected, I have sadly come to the realization that this is NOT an omnibus. There are over 1000 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts that were made throughout the golden age. That means that this collection represents roughly ONE THIRD of all WB cartoons from the era. This set provides a little over HALF of the Bugs Bunny cartoons created, and he is the most well represented character here. We only get FIVE Foghorn Leghorn cartoons, and only THREE Pepe Lepews. That means that BOSKO the Talk-Ink Kid (anyone remember him?) is better represented here than Foghornn and Pepe. That is very disappointing. Now i understand there are a number of toons that WB refuses to release because of racial sensitivity, but that number is very small (11 to be exact). I also understand that there are additional DVDs outside this set that collect additional toons from the aforementioned characters. (like the superstar collections) However, the availability of these cartoons is far from comprehensive, with just under half of all toons available on DVD. The 1960s are especially neglected in this set. Only 18 of the nearly 150 toons from that decade are accounted for here. To make matters even more hopeless, WB has started releasing the Blu-Ray Platinum Collection, which feature not only the same toons we got in the Golden Collection, but FEWER FILMS PER VOLUME! That means the chances of us getting a definitive series even less.

        • bargainjargon on 28/05/2013 - 15:49

          Good post, thanks for the info :)

        • dd22qq on 28/05/2013 - 20:52

          Christ the top comment in that amazon us link is epic, i've copied it & i'm going to follow the watching order he suggests when I get this set, and hunt down the list of missing stuff in the future. Cheers

    Dies it have the original duck dodgers and its sequel (not the tv show). Those 2 episodes are easily my favourite and bugs bunny isn't even the star when he is my favourite.

    FYI, if you purchase in AUD with Amazon's rate, they charge 1 GBP = 1.6288573257 AUD. Depending on what card you use, you can get a better rate than on offer at Amazon.

    edit: the difference will only be ~30-50 cents, so not much.

    You have no idea how long I've been searching for such a collection; including many hours at dvd vendors in Phuket/Bangkok… Only to find they have a very limited selection.

    THANKS!!!!!!!!

    P.S. Feel in love with them originally when they were on the beginning of Warner Bros Movies (ie Free Whilly, and can't wait to see them all)!

        Tail Spin, Goof Troop and Duck Tails!

        Not the tween sitcoms they have on now. Disney has just become a platform to train future whorebags (both actors and viewers).

      That is the price, yeah. Convert that to AUD and add shipping costs (since shipping isn't free to Australia) and you get ~$16.

    • congo on 27/05/2013 - 14:23

      On checkout it is £5.83, due to no tax I think

  • MementoMori on 27/05/2013 - 14:50

    At a rough guess what % of DVD players out there would play Region 2 / are region free in Australia?

    I'd like to buy for my nephew/niece but am not sure if they'd be able to play it in their little portable DVD players, DVD players at holiday houses, etc.

    Anyone seen the new series. It actually isn't that bad. Completely different, it's basically a sitcom with bugs and daffy living together.

    • kermuffle on 27/05/2013 - 21:01

      yeah it's pretty well written for a kids' show. it sometimes reminds me of seinfeld.

  • nsg on 27/05/2013 - 16:12

    Got one as well. Thanks, OP.

    But this is a crazy price. I noticed that Amazon has 18 new sets and 2 used sets.
    How can I be sure they will send the new box pack?

    • MolloKobi on 27/05/2013 - 16:16

      The 18 New and 2 Used are referring to the number of sellers selling the item. Not stock on hand.
      Unless you click on the "used" link and buy from those listed, you will be sent a brand new one from Amazon.

  • Big Test Icicles on 27/05/2013 - 16:16

    FYI, any recent dvd player and any bluray player, as far as i know, should be 100% region free for dvds. What I believe happened was the accc got involved, and said region locking was anti competitive. I have two samsung and a pioneer blu ray player all bought locally and can play region locked dvds.

      The Copyright Amendment Act 2006 allows for the modification of DVD players to enable them to play DVDs from different countries. The Act does not control the sale of DVD players, require region-free DVD players to be made available, or require an unlock to be made available.

      Anecdotal evidence suggests that most Australian DVD players were region-free a few years ago but vendors are now starting to reintroduce it on Blu-ray players.

      • Infraction on 28/05/2013 - 12:05

        Yeah it looks like my bluray player needs a $20 coded remote to unlock it region 2, hopefully the discs will play on region 4 anyway but if they don't I think I can change my PC dvd drive to region 2 and use that since the PC is hooked up to the TV anyway and I don't use that dvd drive for much else.

          If you don't want to change the region on the drive permanently, you could use DVDFab Passkey. The free version will let you watch any region. I think there is a similar software from slysoft, but I'm unsure if its free.
