WARNER ARCHIVE COLLECTION
Distributor This Warner Bros. studio arm offers manufactured-on-demand discs for shows/movies/miniseries not available in stores -- cult faves, obscurities, older titles (with some current sets like "The Bachelorette"). WAC also sells subsequent seasons of some series its studio parent let lapse.
Service costs tend toward full price, but the archive's website offers frequent sales. Orders generally arrive within a week.
Quality content may not be remastered, but prints tend to be clean. Discs come in plastic cases with custom labeling, though typically without booklets, extras.
