I understand the Blu-ray set for the first season of <b>Space:1999</b> sold 'below expectations'. Same happened for DVD releases of the 1st years of <b>Lost in Space</b> and <b>Happy Days</b>. Nostalgia and fan-bases (most of which are pretty small, really) do not necessarily convert to good sales numbers.Barry Smighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464450751543573690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-68808279237079085352012-12-31T07:53:21.050-05:002012-12-31T07:53:21.050-05:00One wish I ALWAYS had, was like the current deluxe...One wish I ALWAYS had, was like the current deluxe magazines you see in Barnes now, like for DW, Twilight, even Firefly, I WISH they'd have done some deluxe format magazine for 1999 and UFO.. <br /><br />Just to see all the cool rare photos/promo shots, in a nice slick magazine format..? I know Anderson Productions had their own mag, but I would love to see one on either 1999 or even Larson's original Galactica series. Just so much material out there, which'll never be seen by today's folks. For a while, you couldn't spit without hitting a Trek or SW magazine with lush photos and preproduction art on today's magazine stands. <br /><br />Shame our 'other loves' never saw the same treatment. david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-27785826153165606742012-12-30T00:30:00.462-05:002012-12-30T00:30:00.462-05:00Looks like they're setting up for the scene at...Looks like they're setting up for the scene at the end of the premiere episode, "Identified," where Straker tells Carlin that the alien had organ transplants harvested from Carlin's missing sister. That would be a somber scene indeed.<br /><br />Bad decision on Gordeno's part, though. He reportedly quit because he didn't want to be typecast. He definitely wasn't typecast after UFO. In fact, he wasn't cast in much of anything at all after that.Thunderbird 7https://www.blogger.com/profile/02357333871189090989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-18637647620219870732012-12-29T18:11:35.012-05:002012-12-29T18:11:35.012-05:00Hi Marc,
