Hey there, Jim - The latest Blackhawk Supplement I have is 1979, and WHACKY WEST isn't listed there or in my earlier bulletins. Must be released late in '79 and early '80 - Anyone have more information? - Shorty

Box?

Jim,

I'll check -- I know I have the bulletin where this was first released.

Don't expect to get much for it -- full-length prints of WOW are lucky to get $30 - $40 lately.

joe, yes it comes with a box in mint condition

I have a June 1979 Blackhawk Bulletin that shows it for sale. Don't know the month when first released, though.

Oh, thanks Mike, my supplement was Spring '79, just missed it

I found it listed as a new release in the June 1978 bulletin.

does anyone know why blackhawck changed the color of the boxes from pink to green?

Posted by Joe Caruso (Member # 11) on August 08, 2009, 04:10 PM:

When Lee Enterprises took the reins in 1975, so did the changeover include new negs and new boxes, later the silver editions were (are) choice prints as well - Shorty

When Lee took over (1975), the L&H boxes remained pink. A few years later, they went green (1977). But I got some pink boxes after I got the green ones back in the day. The silver boxes came later, around '79 early '80s.

Someone is selling Our Gang and Charley Chase films in green L&H boxes right now on eBay -- Blackhawk must have messed up. The seller is selling them as L&H films since he doesn't know any better. Don't you love mistakes that are still causing issues 30 years later?
