I am thrilled that the Special Big Trail edition is coming to DVD, I still find it hard to believe that it was almost 80 years ago that it hit theaters.
I would like to add that this fall, Warner's is releasing a special edition of How The West Was Won.
I wish that Lionsgate would get off its royal rumpus and release those other republic films that Duke made in 30's and 40's. And while I am wishing for stuff, I wish for his 6 Universal films from the 30's as well, and a pony to boot.

As it is, I can't wait two months. I want it now! But I will have to control my anticipation.
