Does anyone have any idea if we might be getting any more of these wonderful sets?

I think a lot of us are hoping for a Creature set with Revenge of The Creature in 3-D, as well as the already released in 3-D original.

Most of us are hoping for Abbott and Costello, Fifties SciFi , Invisible Man , Creature , WC Fields etc sets.
A person I know who has some inside information has suggested that the powers that be at Universal aren't that interested in releasing these things on BD at this point.
Time will tell.

They've gotta at least finish out the Monsters series with Creature and Invisible Man sets. They can't be THAT cruel.

I hope that's not true, I'm still holding out hope for a Bob Hope set (including the Road To films). Oh well, time will tell.

In addition to the other sets I mentioned , a Bob Hope set would be welcome. For that matter, so would a Bing Crosby set .
On the TV front I'd love to own the MUNSTERS on bluray .

I'd love to see a BEST PICTURE legacy set, with some of the RARE titles never released (Skippy, Shanghai Express, Hold Back the Dawn, Etc.)

I'd love to see a Douglas Sirk At Universal blu ray box set either as part of the Legacy series or on its own! The only Universal Sirk blu rays available in R1 are All That Heaven Allows (1955) and Imitation Of Life (1959). It would be a pricey set but I'd be willing to cough up the dough. The set would consist of 20 films (including several that never saw the light of day on DVD) and most likely be divided into two volumes.

I'd love to see a Blu-ray set of the crazy Dorothy Lamour "sarong" pictures from Paramount that Universal controls. THE JUNGLE PRINCESS, HER JUNGLE LOVE, ALOMA OF THE SOUTH SEAS, BEYOND THE BLUE HORIZON and others would be a lot of fun. Ditto to the Maria Montez-Jon Hall adventures.
Not holding my breath waiting for these, however...

More W.C. Fields on Blu-ray.

I wouldn't mind having this on Blu-ray.

Sadly, the word "hope" is being used too much in the previous posts.

You have something against Ol' Ski Nose!?!?

Or..how about a Cecil B. DeMille blu-ray set with titles like Sign of the Cross, The Crusades and Union Pacific?

While you're waiting for Universal, Union Pacific is available in Europe:

The Creature and Invisible Man sets this year. Please ! ... May 16th 2017 Dracula, and The Mummy sets were released. So maybe in May 2018 ?? Also....The Inner Sanctum mysteries set would be Very Nice on Bluray !!!

 

[Arthur Powell]

Can we at least have those films from that one Bela Lugosi set on single-sided discs? For that matter, I'd like to see in some form Harold Lloyd's Professor Beware assuming that Criterion didn't license it for inclusion with the rest of the Lloyd talkies.

FWIW, I contacted Universal CS last August and asked about release dates for both the Creature from the Black Lagoon and Invisible Man Legacy Collections on BR, citing the rapidity of the prior releases.

Here's the reply I received:

Many factors influence the timing and content of our releases, and no plans have been announced for the Blu-ray release of this title. Unfortunately, no further information is available at this time.

For a listing of upcoming releases, please check our website periodically at:

Hopefully, (hmmm.... there's that guy again!) they were just in "information lockdown" mode and those releases have actually been scheduled and coming soon. Considering the cachet these films have I can't see them abandoning the series without getting those last 2 out there. I'd imagine they'd get more from sales of either of those than any of the reboot films they've released in the past couple of years.

Oh yes, a forties DeMille set would be a lot of fun (more fun than the fifties stuff):

Unconquered (1947) -there's a German Blu-ray release of this in April.
The Story Of Dr. Wassell (1944) - I've never seen this one.
Reap The Wild Wind (1942) - There's been a stunning HD transfer of this shown on TV.
North West Mounted Police (1940)
Union Pacific (1939) - I saw this in HD on TCM (UK) the other day.
