Gumball Rally on DVD

Can somebody tell me if Gumball Rally is still available on DVD?

If so, where can I get it?

I have found DVD copies on Ebay, but I am not sure of the quality. Most seem to be made in Hong Kong or are home burned copies. I am thinking of adding this title to my inventory next and I am searching for a true distibutor for the film. How many others would like retail copies on DVD at lets say around $20.00 or less + S/H if I can find a distributor?

I'm interested in one if it's 'real'. No interest in a bootleg, I could do that myself.

I just can't imagine why it hasn't been re-released except for some sort of legal hassles.

Adrian,
you have a PM.

My guess on the reason for it not being released on DVD and only being produced overseas is it has been religated to "Cult" status. That usually means they can't make enough money on it and nobody wants to pay the kings ranson for the legal right to reproduce it. I do hope I find a legitimate distributor, but my search so far has not yeilded much. I did send an email to Warner Brothers asking about how to souce the film on DVD, but no reply yet.

Mike, I just saw the C/F Wars last night at a friend's. Very nicely done. What great vintage footage, Ken Miles diving under that Vette was amazing!

Thanks and I will pass that on to the studio. I love that DVD. Sales have been really good both here and overseas. I do love old Lemans footage as well. Anyone know of any other DVD's that have a lot of old Cobra / GT40 / Lola T-70 racing footage?

Thanks for the business,

Thanks for the business,

My B-day's coming up and I think the wife will be getting some subtle hints.

I actually sell them now and get them from the studio. Let me know if anyone wants one. I'm surprised someone found this old thread.
