BLASTING INTO 2014! 'GALACTICA' ARRIVES ON GERMAN BLU-RAY!

In a great and surprising start to the new year, reader John Johnson has kindly informed us that the original classic series and GALACTICA 1980 have been released together on ten disc German Region B Blu-ray, from last month via Koch Media. Checking several Blu-ray forums, the boxset has received positive reviews for its overall picture remastering, living up to the quality standards of UNIVERSAL's recently released 1978 theatrical movie in the format. Here's hoping the series gets a full worldwide release shortly.
