More Battle of the Planets arrives
==================================

The release of Battle of the Planets by Mollin Video is continuing, with
volumes 2 and 3 now availble. Further volumes will be appearing at a rate
of two every two months until everyone gets bored with it (or at least
stops buying them). If VHS just isn't good enough for you anymore, the
first volume will be out on DVD next month.
