The first five movies to be released through Australian newsagents in the Classic John Wayne Collection part series are: Part 1 - The Searchers; Part 2 - Rooster Cogburn; Part 3 - Hell Fighters; Part 4 - Rio Bravo; Part 5 - Stage Coach. I am told that some rights are still being negotiated - hence the lack of a complete list.

It is interesting to see that your market is getting a completely different order of films to the UK. The Classic John Wayne Collection kicked off wth ‘She Wore a Yellow Ribbon’over here.
It was launched 12 month ago with the sharply priced fisrt issue selling well which helped us pick up a couple of orders and we held on to them for about 20 issues. The customers then both felt that they had enough JW stock!

Steve,
Did ‘The Quiet Man’ make it to the collection?

Steve I think it’s to do with licences and these are country by country.

Ask your local newsagent to order it in. As I understand it there is no stock problem.

Does anyone know what the 5th issue is in Australia? My husband a keen John Wayne fan, we have a large amount on DVD, would like to complete the set.

I’ve just been told by newsagent that this series goes for 60 issues. Is this true? If so that means it will be close enough to $1200AUD.

I’ve come across this page by accident I’m in Ireland getting the UK version of the collection and this week is number 43, I’m unsure as to how many will be issued but the earliest DVD is Hell Town (1937) and there is 48 films from 1937 to 1977 that have yet to be released as part of the collection so 90 could be the last one as collection tends to be sets of 15 DVDs, I doubt that Wayne films from late 20’s to mid 30’s will be released due to poor surviving master copies and the fact that they are not that good.

I have been pirchasing this set of DVDs for my parents. I contacted Deagostini when we got to film 60 to see how many more there would be and was told that 60 should be it as they had not been made aware that any more were being released. We have just recieved 61 & 62 and on 62 it says about issue 63. We also got a new binder for the magazines so I guess we will be filling it. You could be right Paul looks like 90 could be on the cards.
