We now have a FINAL and FIRM release date, which is July 28, 2015 ... which is TODAY!! The Volume 3 DVDs are now HERE and ready to start shipping. NEW ORDERS only take me a couple of clicks to process, so they will go out right away...the pre-orders I have to do by hand, entering the data one order at a time, so be aware that it will take at least several weeks to get all 800+ pre-orders shipped out, so I appreciate your patience for a bit longer…it won't be very long now.

HERE'S the FINAL list of what's included in:
